Visiting alone on a weekday afternoon, the writer ordered chocolate banana tiramisu and hot milk tea at the kiosk on the 1st floor, then sat on the 2nd floor, where a solo exhibition by Taeowork (태오워크) was on view. The rooftop's Gangnam city view was lovely, but the 2nd floor at Selected Nicks was the more comfortable place to settle in. ## Good to know - **Location**: 37 Teheran-ro 4-gil, 1st floor, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (near Gangnam Station, Yeoksam-dong) - **Ordering**: Kiosk in front of the inner counter on the 1st floor - **The space**: Large café spanning basement level 1, 1st floor, 2nd floor (exhibition) and the rooftop - **Ordered**: Chocolate banana tiramisu, hot milk tea - **Exhibition**: A Taeowork solo exhibition was running on the 2nd floor at the time of the visit - **Event**: One lottery ticket given for writing a photo review (running at the time of the visit) - **Note**: Happy hour sets available *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* ![Selected Nicks main image](https://img.superchart.com/images/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea-01-161u0-1200.webp) *@ sltdnicks* > A recommended large rooftop café near Gangnam Station > A tiramisu dessert spot in Yeoksam-dong ![Exterior view of Selected Nicks near Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea-02-13h7g-871.webp) ![Entrance to Selected Nicks, a large café in Yeoksam-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea-03-tcgv6-900.webp) ## Where is Selected Nicks in Yeoksam-dong? This time I visited Selected Nicks, a large rooftop café near Gangnam Station~ I'd known about it for a while since it's a good spot in Yeoksam-dong for laptop work or studying. It's right in the middle of the city, so you have to find the entrance carefully. It had been a while since my last visit and I almost got lost, but thankfully I found it right away. Walking into the 1st floor, a flashy interior appeared. ![Interior and dessert display on the 1st floor of Selected Nicks](https://img.superchart.com/images/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea-04-dgulp-900.webp) There were all kinds of dessert products, and they looked good for gifts too~ ![Dessert products displayed for gifting](https://img.superchart.com/images/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea-05-11xgx-900.webp) ## Ordering at the 1st-floor kiosk You order at Selected Nicks via the kiosk in front of the counter inside the 1st floor. Since it had been a while since my last visit, I noticed quite a few changes. The store's usage guide was also well laid out, so first-time visitors shouldn't have any trouble. ![Kiosk ordering area in front of the 1st floor counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea-06-cdfcq-900.webp) The staff were friendly too, which made it even nicer to use. The colorful packaging really caught the eye. There were lots of different products, and it seemed like a good photo zone too. Customers kept pouring in, so I quickly ordered and grabbed a seat. ![Photo zone with colorful packaging on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea-07-1irau-900.webp) ![Selected Nicks' 1st floor crowded on a weekday afternoon](https://img.superchart.com/images/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea-08-19s1c-900.webp) It was a hot spot even on a weekday afternoon, with lots of people coming in. The floor guide was also very detailed. ![Floor guide sign at Selected Nicks](https://img.superchart.com/images/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea-09-1jtat-900.webp) ![Posted notice about the happy hour set](https://img.superchart.com/images/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea-10-i9x6e-856.webp) There's also a happy hour set, so if you visit during that time, be sure to check it out. The tiramisu came in quite a variety of types. I went with the chocolate banana tiramisu. As the café's signature dessert, there are many varieties and the quality is reliable. ![Refrigerated showcase with various types of tiramisu on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea-11-1wp1t-900.webp) ![Display of the signature tiramisu menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea-12-n6zdp-900.webp) ## Basement level and rooftop: how each floor feels After ordering, I went down to check out the basement floor, which also had quite a few customers so I couldn't take many photos. Overall it looked like a comfortable, quiet spot to sit. Then I headed straight up to the rooftop. It's usually a really popular floor with lots of people, but luckily there weren't many that day, so I got to take photos comfortably. It's a spot where you can look out over Gangnam's high-rise skyline all at once. Since it's a rooftop, it's great for enjoying the Gangnam city view, but people with a fear of heights should be careful. The view was really great, but since I wanted to sit comfortably, I went back down~ ![Gangnam city view seen from the Selected Nicks rooftop](https://img.superchart.com/images/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea-13-ui0ut-900.webp) ![Rooftop seating with a view of Gangnam's high-rise buildings](https://img.superchart.com/images/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea-14-do2te-900.webp) ![A quiet rooftop on a slow weekday afternoon](https://img.superchart.com/images/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea-15-1nrr0-900.webp) ![Downtown Gangnam view seen over the rooftop railing](https://img.superchart.com/images/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea-16-1f4pj-900.webp) There used to be seating right where you order too, but that seems to be gone now, so I went up to another floor. ![Staircase inside Selected Nicks connecting the floors](https://img.superchart.com/images/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea-17-2o6hg-900.webp) ![Stairway leading up to the 2nd floor of Selected Nicks](https://img.superchart.com/images/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea-18-1xx3u-900.webp) ## The 2nd-floor Taeowork exhibition and working alone On the 2nd floor of Selected Nicks, a solo exhibition by Taeowork was on view at the time of my visit. The exhibition space was quite spacious and pleasant. The exhibition info was detailed too, and thankfully the café was usable even while the exhibition was running. It felt like a calm, comfortable space, good for working alone. My order arrived quickly. ![Tiramisu and milk tea placed on a 2nd floor table](https://img.superchart.com/images/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea-19-1ni2b-900.webp) ## Chocolate banana tiramisu and hot milk tea Even solo, I devoured the tiramisu in no time~ As mentioned, this time it was the chocolate banana tiramisu. Apparently there's currently an event where you get a lottery ticket for writing a photo review. I already love chocolate banana and drink it as a beverage a lot, but this time I tried it as a dessert instead. ![Close-up of the chocolate banana tiramisu plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea-20-bdb8i-900.webp) The visuals alone were really eye-catching. I paired it with hot milk tea, and surprisingly they went really well together. ![A cup of hot milk tea with dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea-21-1goac-900.webp) ![Chocolate banana tiramisu paired with milk tea](https://img.superchart.com/images/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea-22-xjtu9-858.webp) The chocolate banana tiramisu looked almost like a work of art. It had a moist texture and a sweet chocolate banana flavor. ![A spoonful of moist chocolate banana tiramisu](https://img.superchart.com/images/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea-23-11dy3-900.webp) ![The chocolate banana tiramisu nearly finished](https://img.superchart.com/images/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea-24-1uh91-900.webp) I really finished it off on my own in no time. That's it for my review of Selected Nicks, the large rooftop café and tiramisu dessert spot near Gangnam Station in Yeoksam-dong. ## Where it is - Selected Nicks (셀렉티드닉스) - 37 Teheran-ro 4-gil, 1st floor, 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/@seoul-glass-stools/selected-nicks-gangnam-taeowork-exhibition-milktea/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
