## 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.

### 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 🥇
