Ta-da~!! Selecto Coffee has 5 kinds of americano. Check each bean's acidity and body and pick the one that suits your taste.
Even a Geisha blend! Geisha is an expensive bean, so seeing it here makes me so happy ㅠㅠㅠㅠ A place where you can enjoy it at a reasonable price! And it's been ages since I saw Blue Mountain, so that's a welcome sight too!!!
During staffed hours, enjoy the special beans! The beans are Mocha Blend, Blue Mountain Blend, Hwasa, Geisha Blend and decaf, and you just pay easily at the kiosk.
Study seats and regular seats are separate
Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon feels split about half and half between a study café zone and regular seats. We headed to the regular seats, where you can chat loudly... we weren't even ready to study, haha

At Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon, we ordered a Geisha blend and a Mocha blend americano for ₩3,800 each.
An americano under ₩4,000, and you even get to pick the beans!! So happy. Mocha for me, who loves nutty beans! Geisha for you, who care about aroma and like acidity! Opposite tastes, but we get along so well, hehehe. With good beans, the americano is full of aroma. A 24-hour café near Sinnonhyeon Station with tasty coffee too?
Selecto Coffee chicken sandwich, ₩7,000
The chicken sandwich at Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon is ₩7,000, and it's packed with protein thanks to the chicken breast.
