On an evening visit, its leafy entrance, antique-style stairs, and warm lighting created a calm, cozy atmosphere. A lovely pick for coffee and conversation. ## Good to know - **Address**: 28 Gangnam-daero 102-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 강남구 강남대로102길 28) - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–22:00 - **Parking**: No dedicated parking lot - **Restroom**: Available inside the café *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* On a day when I had an evening plan in Gangnam, ![Upper and Under visited on a day with an evening appointment in Gangnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under-01-uuwmq-1200.webp) I was looking for a café with a nice atmosphere and ended up visiting Upper and Under. In photos, it had looked lovely with sunlight streaming in during the day, so I had been curious about it. Since I visited in the evening, it felt quite different from daytime. Actually, the calm feeling of the evening with the lights on was really nice too. ## A place with a great atmosphere from the entrance ![The entrance to Upper and Under with green trees](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under-02-iwh7l-900.webp) ![A café entrance with greenery in the city](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under-03-1vt4v-900.webp) ![Upper and Under entrance scene with leaves](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under-04-124u6-900.webp) The first thing that caught my eye as soon as I entered was the lush green trees. Their leaves swayed gently whenever the wind blew, and for a moment I almost forgot this was a café right in the middle of Gangnam. Seeing this kind of greenery in the city put me in a good mood before I had even gone inside. ## Past the antique-style stairs The antique-style stairs I saw as I headed farther in were impressive too. When I went up the stairs, I found a wide selection of desserts inside. There were quite a few options, from cakes and tiramisu to pies and assorted baked treats, so I had only planned to have coffee but naturally found myself looking over the desserts too. ![A variety of café desserts on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under-05-w4ezw-900.webp) ![Desserts including cake and tiramisu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under-06-12xki-900.webp) ![Desserts with pies and baked treats prepared](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under-07-bgijk-900.webp) ![A variety of desserts to browse with coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under-08-18bng-900.webp) ![Dessert selection prepared inside the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under-09-9v1bx-900.webp) ![A dessert display with cakes and baked treats](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under-10-c4fte-900.webp) ## What I ordered that day ![Iced Einspänner and iced coffee order](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under-11-130f7-900.webp) ![Coffee order served with tiramisu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under-12-1q87q-900.webp) - Iced Einspänner - Iced coffee - Tiramisu This is what I ordered that day. Maybe because it was evening, I was craving cold coffee, and it made a nice combination with dessert. ![Cold coffee enjoyed with dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under-13-o5qef-900.webp) The Einspänner in particular was a good choice for a day when I was in the mood for sweet dessert, since I could enjoy the soft cream and coffee together. ![Tiramisu that paired well with coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under-14-1mpui-798.webp) The tiramisu went well with the coffee too. ## It would be nice for a date or get-together too Rather than feeling overly crowded or noisy, Upper and Under had a European-inspired atmosphere that was good for sitting down and chatting comfortably. So I thought it would suit plans with friends, a date, or a casual gathering better than just popping in alone for a moment. It is also easy enough to get to if you have plans near Sinnonhyeon Station, and it is within walking distance of Gangnam Station, so ![Café interior near Sinnonhyeon Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under-15-172qa-900.webp) it could be a nice option if you are looking for a café near Gangnam Station but do not mind walking a little farther for somewhere atmospheric. I visited in the evening. ![Café atmosphere enhanced by evening lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under-16-16t1y-900.webp) The time I visited was in the evening. During the day, the natural light and greenery seem to come together for a brighter, fresher feeling, while in the evening the added lighting made it feel calm and cozy. That is why I would like to visit again during the day next time. I think the atmosphere would feel quite different depending on the time, even in the same space. ## Upper and Under basic information I recommend checking the opening hours and operating information before visiting. ## If you are looking for a café near Sinnonhyeon There are so many cafés around Sinnonhyeon, but if you are looking for a space that feels a little different rather than one with a similar atmosphere, Upper and Under could be a good choice. From the greenery at the entrance and the antique-style stairs to the varied desserts, it was fun just looking around the space too. With an atmosphere that is great for chatting comfortably over coffee and dessert, I think it is worth stopping by if you are looking for a café near Sinnonhyeon. Next time, I would like to visit during the day and compare it for myself with the evening atmosphere. ## Where it is - Upper and Under (어퍼앤언더) - 28 Gangnam-daero 102-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 강남구 강남대로102길 28) - 서울특별시 강남구 강남대로102길 28 지하1층, 1층, 2층 - 37.5027449, 127.0276848 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%96%B4%ED%8D%BC%EC%95%A4%EC%96%B8%EB%8D%94/@37.5027449,127.0276848,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-linen-menu/sinnonhyeon-evening-cafe-upper-under/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
