Gangnam café for yellow cheese financier upstairs: Upper and Under

Upper and Under is a large dessert café in Gangnam, Seoul, spread over the basement, 1st and 2nd floors between Sinnonhyeon and Gangnam stations. Sitting on the 2nd floor with a friend, we ordered an iced americano, an iced pistachio cream latte, a yellow cheese (hwangchiju) financier and a slice of raspberry cake — the financier tasted exactly like Ppoto cheese crackers right down to the cookie crumbs, and the raspberry cake was sweet and tart. Upper and Under suits anyone who never orders just a drink without a dessert beside it.
