# Sinnonhyeon Station café for a sandwich instead of dinner: Selecto - By Haeun Jo (https://superchart.com/en/@seongbuk-slow-saucer-cup/) - Written Aug 17, 2026 - Local places › Cafés › Seocho, Seoul - Sponsored: This post was written as a sponsored store visit. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@seongbuk-slow-saucer-cup/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@seongbuk-slow-saucer-cup/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich/index.md) ## In short Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon Branch 24 Auto Brew Cafe is a 24-hour café right outside Exit 1 of Sinnonhyeon Station in Seocho, Seoul, staffed by day and running as an unmanned auto-brew counter at night. Skipping dinner, the writer ate a ciabatta chicken sandwich with a Mocha Blend americano and a Geisha americano, and found the bread chewy and the vegetables crisp. With outlets at every table, wifi and a 24 Auto Print zone, Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon is an easy pick for late-night work with a light meal. ## Good to know - **Address**: 31 Gangnam-daero 79-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul, 1st floor - **Hours**: Open 24 hours - **Weekdays**: Mon–Fri staffed 08:00–22:00, unmanned 22:00–08:00 - **Weekends**: Sat–Sun staffed 10:00–21:00, unmanned 21:00–10:00 - **Location**: Right outside Exit 1 of Sinnonhyeon Station - **Americano beans**: 5 options: Mocha Blend, Blue Mountain Blend, Ethiopia Blend, Geisha Blend, decaf - **Ordered**: Mocha Blend americano, Geisha americano, chicken sandwich - **Seating**: Solo seats, tables for 2–4, group seating - **Amenities**: Outlets at every table, wifi, 24 Auto Print zone *as written by the visitor on Aug 17, 2026* ![Cover photo of Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon Branch's auto-brew café](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich-01-1nejb-1200.webp) > Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon Branch's auto brew system So many cafés close early these days that finding a place open late around Gangnam or Sinnonhyeon for a meetup has actually become surprisingly tricky! This time I heard there was a 24-hour café right in front of Sinnonhyeon Station, so I went to check out Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon Branch. It runs on this cool hybrid system — staffed like a normal café during the day, then switching to an unmanned auto-brew café at night. It wasn't just coffee either — plenty of sandwiches and baked goods too, so it worked well as a light meal. Here's my review of this 24-hour Sinnonhyeon café, starting now! ## Where Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon is and how its 24-hour service works Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon Branch 24 Auto Brew Cafe is at 31 Gangnam-daero 79-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul, 1st floor — super close to the station, just steps from Exit 1 of Sinnonhyeon Station! It's open 24 hours: Monday to Friday it's staffed 08:00–22:00 and unmanned 22:00–08:00, while weekends it's staffed 10:00–21:00 and unmanned 21:00–10:00. ![Exterior of Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon Branch in front of Sinnonhyeon Station Exit 1](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich-02-1kfqi-900.webp) ![Entrance to the 24-hour auto-brew store at Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich-03-3zyxv-m-900.webp) Unlike a typical Selecto Coffee shop, the defining feature here is that it's an auto-brew store running 24 hours. ![The auto-brew machine used during unmanned hours](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich-04-ugo49-900.webp) During the day it works like a normal café, but during the hours without staff you can order coffee through the auto-brew machine instead, so you can still use it at dawn or late at night. ## Inside Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon: seating and outlets Walking into Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon Branch, my first thought was — wow, this is spacious! Wow, this is bright! The whole place had a bright, pleasant atmosphere. ![Bright, spacious interior of Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich-05-juzxu-900.webp) ![Pleasant seating area in the café's main hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich-06-5ax2k-900.webp) ![Mix of solo and group seating arrangements](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich-07-1hjb8-900.webp) There's a good range of seating options, from solo seats to 2–4 person tables and group seating, so it works well whether you're coming alone or with a group. ![Table with an outlet, good for laptop work](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich-08-tv9d7-900.webp) The wifi is strong and almost every table has an outlet, so it's great for bringing a laptop or tablet to get some work done! ![Work-friendly seating area inside the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich-09-oc2ob-900.webp) ### The 24 Auto Print zone inside the café Personally, what stood out to me was the 24 Auto Print zone set up inside Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon Branch! ![Printer at the in-store 24 Auto Print zone](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich-10-74brx-900.webp) You can print documents right there in the café, which seemed handy if you suddenly need to print something urgently or pull up materials — basically doubling as a print shop. With 24-hour hours, wifi, outlets and printing all available, this is a really good spot for studying or work purposes! ## Five americanos compared: Mocha Blend vs Geisha No matter how great the space and how pleasant the vibe, it's no good if the drinks don't taste good, right? ![Drink menu board at Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich-11-aq7kn-900.webp) The drink lineup was really, genuinely diverse, but what impressed me most was that there were five different options just for americano. ![Menu listing the 5 americano bean options](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich-12-11ikh-900.webp) Mocha Blend, Blue Mountain Blend, Ethiopia Blend, Geisha Blend, and Decaf — you can pick based on your taste, and it made me realize just how serious they are about coffee. ![Two cups: Mocha Blend and Geisha americano](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich-13-les7r-900.webp) My friend who likes acidity ordered the Geisha, and I, who likes a nutty coffee, ordered the Mocha Blend! The two look noticeably different in color, but the flavors aren't wildly extreme — overall they're clean, easy-drinking cups that pair really well with baked goods and food. ![Close-up of two americanos with visibly different colors](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich-14-rdelp-900.webp) ![Café table set with coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich-15-8bd60-900.webp) ![Detail shot of an iced americano cup](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich-16-dfm2e-m-900.webp) ![Coffee paired with baked goods](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich-17-v9q15-900.webp) ## The ciabatta chicken sandwich I ate instead of dinner Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon Branch is packed with options beyond drinks too — scones, cookies, bagels, sandwiches, salads, everything from snacks to full meals. ![Bakery case with scones, cookies and bagels](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich-18-1pn31-m-900.webp) ![Refrigerated case with sandwiches and salads](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich-19-1k9f8-900.webp) I hadn't managed to eat dinner, so I ordered a chicken sandwich for something simple — ![Ciabatta-based chicken sandwich](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich-20-1dgkv-900.webp) Whoa, why is this café sandwich so good quality? I loved that it was on a ciabatta base instead of regular sliced bread, and even though it had been sitting in the fridge case, the bread wasn't dry at all — it still had a chewy texture, nice. ![Cross-section of the chicken sandwich packed with vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich-21-19vqg-900.webp) ![Bite taken out of the chicken sandwich showing the filling](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich-22-1dfvj-900.webp) The vegetables inside were crisp and fresh, and there was more filling than I expected, so I ended up pretty full after finishing it. When just coffee feels like not enough but a full meal feels like too much, this seems perfect for a light meal. ## Why Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon works as a late-night café Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon Branch has the accessibility of sitting right in front of Sinnonhyeon Station, plus 24-hour hours, spacious seating, outlets, wifi, and even printing — it turned out to be a more useful spot than I expected, ![Seating area at Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon Branch with coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich-23-vag6o-900.webp) ![Interior view good for late-night use](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich/sinnonhyeon-selecto-coffee-autobrew-chicken-sandwich-24-1877j-900.webp) and it's not just a coffee-only café — the variety of baked goods and sandwiches made it a good spot to grab a simple meal too.
