Gangnam café decaf latte for pregnancy and 3 tiramisu: Selected Nicks

In short

Selected Nicks is a large multi-floor café in Gangnam, Seoul, a 5-minute walk from Gangnam Station exits 1 and 3, filling one whole building from the ground floor to the rooftop. Pregnant at the time of the visit, the writer ordered the iced café latte as decaf (1,000 won extra) and shared three tiramisu flavors with friends on the 2nd floor because the rooftop was crowded. The Earl Grey tiramisu was the best of the three, and the coffee at Selected Nicks was strong without sourness — easy for anyone to like.

I'd been here before, but it's still amazing that a café this big exists right in the middle of Gangnam Station. There's even a terrace space, which felt perfect for this kind of weather.

A café on every floor, ground level to rooftop, with a wide dessert display

This Gangnam Station café takes up an entire building, from the ground floor all the way to the rooftop! There's an elevator, so moving between floors is easy.

The ground floor sells a variety of desserts too, and the packaging is pretty enough to make great gifts.

There was such a variety that it was genuinely fun just to browse.

Chocolate salty financier, fig financier, plain financier, choco crunch madeleine, lemon madeleine, cookie brownie — there were so many delicious-looking desserts 🤍

Like in my last post, the rooftop was pretty here too,,!

Rooftop crowded? The 2nd floor works for solo laptop time

Last time I visited, I had coffee on the rooftop enjoying the city view, but today the rooftop was crowded so I used the 2nd floor instead. There are also seats where you can comfortably sit alone.

With so many seats, this large Gangnam Station café works well for group gatherings or for solo work and laptop study without feeling out of place. Each floor also has separate men's and women's restrooms, which was convenient.

What we ordered: decaf iced café latte and three tiramisu

Here's what we ordered: iced americano, iced vanilla latte, decaf iced café latte, and the 3-flavor tiramisu. Being pregnant, I really appreciated that decaf was an option. Decaf coffee costs an extra ₩1,000.

Iced americano, decaf latte, and 3-flavor tiramisu

Selected Nicks' signature 3-flavor tiramisu lets you try banana chocolate tiramisu, Earl Grey tiramisu, and crumble tiramisu all at once 🤎

Banana chocolate tiramisu

A visually striking banana chocolate tiramisu piled high with chocolate. Sweet banana meets chocolate for an extremely sweet dessert — I think it would pair well with a bitter americano.

Earl Grey tiramisu, the best of the three

At a glance this looks like a basic tiramisu, but it has a subtle black tea flavor that's addictive 💜 Personally, this was the one I enjoyed the most,,!

Crumble tiramisu

Last but not least, the crumble tiramisu. Piled high with crunchy crumble, this dessert nails both texture and flavor! That crispy, crumbly texture is really its charm.

The coffee was strong and nutty without any sourness, so it seemed like something everyone could enjoy at this large Gangnam Station café, no matter their taste.
