The writer set up a laptop on the 3rd floor, looked around the white-toned gallery space on the 2nd floor, paired a lemon financier with coffee, and caught the breeze under the rooftop parasols. Selected Nicks suits anyone who wants to pick a floor and settle in for hours rather than grab a quick coffee and go. ## Good to know - **Address**: 37 Teheran-ro 4-gil, 1F, Gangnam-gu, Seoul - **Location**: About 323m from Gangnam Station Exit 3 - **Weekday hours**: 08:00 - 24:00 - **Weekend hours**: 11:00 - 23:30 - **Size**: Floors 1 to 8, each with a different mood - **What we ordered**: Lemon financier, coffee *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* Hey, it's Jini — I got to work on my laptop, chat with a friend, and enjoy the weather all in one trip to Gangnam, haha 💕 This time I visited Selected Nicks, one of the genuinely huge cafés among Gangnam Station cafés!

It's a large café near Gangnam Station spread across multiple floors, so there were so many space options ⭐ - A floor good for quiet laptop work - A floor good for chatting comfortably with friends - A space good for relaxing while looking at the view outside Having these separated out was so convenient, haha. If you're someone like me who stays at a café for a long time, this kind of Gangnam Station café is genuinely great 💕 ## Third-floor tables built for laptop work ![A wide 3rd-floor table set up with a laptop](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-cafe-lemon-financier-rooftop/gangnam-station-cafe-lemon-financier-rooftop-03-epwmw-966.webp) We stayed on the 3rd floor of Selected Nicks for a while that day since we had some laptop work to do. The tables were wide and the space wasn't cramped at all, so it was pretty comfortable to work in ⭐ I'm the type who gets distracted even while focusing, haha, and with a Nintendo sitting right next to me, it was work, then play, then back to work... a perfect day, haha. If you're looking for somewhere to work among Gangnam Station cafés, I think you'd really like this place 💕 ## The 2nd floor of Selected Nicks feels like a gallery ![The white-toned 2nd floor space at Selected Nicks](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-cafe-lemon-financier-rooftop/gangnam-station-cafe-lemon-financier-rooftop-04-1soxu-m-966.webp) I went to check out the 2nd floor of Selected Nicks, and compared to the 3rd floor where we'd been, it was overall white-toned, giving it a clean, cool feel. There were colorful artworks hanging on the walls too, so it felt more like a small gallery than just a café ⭐ ![Gallery-like 2nd floor with colorful artworks on the wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-cafe-lemon-financier-rooftop/gangnam-station-cafe-lemon-financier-rooftop-05-19x4h-966.webp) Another plus: the space is so wide that it doesn't feel cramped even with people around. Looks like a good pick for anyone who wants both atmosphere and coffee in a Yeoksam café 💕 ![Wide, open view of the 2nd floor seating at Selected Nicks](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-cafe-lemon-financier-rooftop/gangnam-station-cafe-lemon-financier-rooftop-06-14bvf-966.webp) ![Café interior wall with artwork and tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-cafe-lemon-financier-rooftop/gangnam-station-cafe-lemon-financier-rooftop-07-1aqk8-966.webp) ## The rooftop with parasols Head up to the top of Selected Nicks and there's an outdoor space — on a nice-weather day like this, the rooftop was seriously the best!!! Just sitting under the parasols put me in a good mood 🌿 With a light breeze drifting by, you don't even need to do anything, it's just great for zoning out, haha (❁´◡\`❁). After staring at a monitor all day, sitting outside and catching the breeze totally reset my head 💕 If outdoor space matters to you when picking a large Gangnam Station café, this place is pretty solid! ## Browsing the dessert case: tiramisu in several flavors ![Dessert display case at Selected Nicks](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-cafe-lemon-financier-rooftop/gangnam-station-cafe-lemon-financier-rooftop-08-1am7f-966.webp) The dessert selection at Selected Nicks was bigger than I expected ⭐ Just for tiramisu alone there was banana tiramisu, chocolate tiramisu, pistachio tiramisu, and more! ![Banana, chocolate, pistachio, and other tiramisu on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-cafe-lemon-financier-rooftop/gangnam-station-cafe-lemon-financier-rooftop-09-1yhbd-m-966.webp) There was such a wide variety that I spent ages browsing, haha. There were also financiers in various flavors. I honestly wanted to try one of each, haha. ![Display of financiers in various flavors](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-cafe-lemon-financier-rooftop/gangnam-station-cafe-lemon-financier-rooftop-10-c9uo4-1200.webp) ## Why we picked the lemon financier ![Lemon financier served alongside coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-cafe-lemon-financier-rooftop/gangnam-station-cafe-lemon-financier-rooftop-11-1ys4y-966.webp) Out of everything at Selected Nicks, we went with the lemon financier 💕 The financier's signature nutty, dense texture got a bright lemon kick on top, which made it a perfect match with coffee ⭐ Instead of just being heavily sweet, the citrus brightness made it easy to finish without feeling weighed down. ![Colorful candies displayed at the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-cafe-lemon-financier-rooftop/gangnam-station-cafe-lemon-financier-rooftop-12-1qic9-966.webp) *So many candies that were almost too pretty to eat* Next time I want to try the pistachio tiramisu, haha. ## A Gangnam Station café where you can stay for hours ![Seating area at Selected Nicks, good for staying a while](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-cafe-lemon-financier-rooftop/gangnam-station-cafe-lemon-financier-rooftop-13-1gjpj-966.webp) Selected Nicks was less of a grab-a-coffee-and-go café and more of a place to settle in and enjoy at your own pace. You can work, chat with a friend, eat dessert, and catch the breeze on the rooftop 💕 I liked being able to choose the space based on my mood that day. I think that kind of choice is exactly why people look for a large Gangnam Station café, haha. ## Selected Nicks: the verdict If you're looking for a spacious, comfortable Gangnam Station café that's easy to stay in for a long time, I'd recommend Selected Nicks 💕 Each floor has a slightly different mood, so it works well whether you're coming to work, going on a date, or having a long chat with a friend. ![The outdoor rooftop space at Selected Nicks with parasols](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-cafe-lemon-financier-rooftop/gangnam-station-cafe-lemon-financier-rooftop-14-djy2w-966.webp) Especially on nice-weather days like this, make sure to head up to the rooftop ⭐ Just holding a cup of coffee and zoning out up there was a real mood reset, haha. ### Who should visit Selected Nicks? - Anyone looking for a place to work among Gangnam Station cafés - Anyone searching for a large Gangnam Station café ⭐ - Anyone looking for a spacious spot among Yeoksam cafés - Rooftop lovers - Anyone who loves a café with lots of dessert variety - Anyone who needs space for a long catch-up with friends ## Where it is - Selected Nicks (셀렉티드닉스) - 37 Teheran-ro 4-gil, 1F, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강남구 테헤란로4길 37 1층 - 37.4961927, 127.030907 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%85%80%EB%A0%89%ED%8B%B0%EB%93%9C%EB%8B%89%EC%8A%A4/@37.4961927,127.030907,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seongbuk-quiet-table/gangnam-station-cafe-lemon-financier-rooftop/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
