Gangnam café window seat with sunlight, fresh lemon cake: Upper and
In short
Upper and Under is a large dessert café in Gangnam, Seoul, spanning the basement through the second floor between Sinnonhyeon Station and Gangnam Station. The writer tried the salty caramel cream latte, the September-season fig pie, and a lemon slice cake topped with fresh lemon — and the lemon cake won the day. With sunlight pouring through the windows, it's a Gangnam café worth lingering in.

A drink menu with all kinds of cream lattes
The drink menu had a huge variety of cream lattes ⋆｡˚ From regular lattes to all sorts of cream lattes you can pick based on your taste, I spent ages deciding what to get ""
From slice cakes to pies to baked snacks
Slice cakes 𓂃𓈒𓏸 tiramisu / fig / raspberry / lemon / grapefruit
Pies 𓂃𓈒𓏸
September's the fig pie ♥ ♡̴ Seems like the seasonal menu changes to match seasonal fruit
Baked snacks ⋆｡˚
And on top of all that, batonnets ,, this place really had an insane variety of desserts 🎂🍰🍦🍪🧁🍨 From cakes to baked snacks, there were so many kinds that picking a dessert took longer than picking a drink... They all looked so pretty too, hard to just walk past. Is fig seriously that good .. ♥

Salty caramel cream latte
The salty caramel cream latte came piled high with soft cream and even topped with Lotus biscuit, so the visual alone was totally my type ⋆｡˚ The sweet caramel with a hint of saltiness made a sweet-and-salty combo that was insane
Fig pie
The fig pie / lemon slice cake look really pretty, right ..?
The fig pie had oats inside, giving it a nutty yet subtly clean taste .ᐟ The figs themselves were sweet, so they paired well together
Lemon slice cake — the winner of the day
I really didn't expect much from the lemon slice cake .. but the lemon's freshness really came through, and the lemon slice on top wasn't a dried lemon but an actual fresh lemon (first time I've ever felt a cake was this fresh..). Personally, this was the number-one dessert I had that day .ᐟ.ᐟ 🥇
Sunlit floor-by-floor seating atmosphere
Overall the café was pretty large, with tons of seats from the basement to the 1st and 2nd floors, so it was great for sitting comfortably 𑣲₍ ᐢ. .ᐢ₎ The weather was so nice that day that the sunlight coming through the windows was gorgeous ☀︎⋆.ೃ The view was so pretty I wanted to sit there for ages
With a wide variety of desserts and cream latte options, I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a Gangnam café - 🍦 The atmosphere was warm and pretty, making it perfect for a date or a relaxed café time with a friend — Upper and Under, a Gangnam café ♡°˚ If you're looking for a good-vibe café in Gangnam, it's worth a visit
