My close friend and I synced up our days off to meet around Gyodae! We're both office workers so coffee in the morning is non-negotiable, so we decided to get caffeinated first haha. While walking around wondering where to go, we picked this place because the coffee and desserts looked amazing!

Bottom line up front,

• A wide variety of drinks and coffee that taste amazing!
• The desserts are a total pass!

The vibe was so good too that it was perfect for chatting or just hanging out~ let me introduce you to "Mini Male Coffee Roaster Gyodae Court Branch"

Mini Male's menu and dessert display case

Mini Male Coffee Roaster has a wide array of coffee, drinks, and desserts ready to go, and the signature menu items are seriously all so pretty...☆ Dessert lovers will lose their minds here haha

In a display cabinet on one side, they were selling coffee beans, coffee concentrate, and goods

Salt bread, egg tarts, and all these things that look way too delicious... picking was so hard I wanted to eat all of them... I held back though ㅜㅜ

The handmade fresh cream castella is kept refrigerated so you need to ask separately to order it. It looked super soft and fluffy so I agonized over it too...

All the coffee drinks were made with dunkel beans, and I really liked the nutty flavor. The salt bread was so good too, and the egg tart ㅠㅠ insanely good!! But the best of all was the Victoria scone — the cream and jam inside were... out of control good
