Stopping in after lunch on a work-from-home day, the writer ordered a Helsinki latte with an oatmeal cookie and lemon pound cake that arrived on a two-tier tray for a small tea time, then took a milk tea Flasche home too. After three visits, Mini Male Yeoksam is a 2000% revisit for the writer. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1st floor, 26 Teheran-ro 25-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul - **Signature**: Helsinki latte - **Ordering**: Kiosk or counter - **Seating**: Mix of 4-person and 2-person tables, window seats, air-conditioned outdoor seats - **Work setup**: Power outlet at every seat, wide spacing between tables - **Retail items**: Flasche bottled drinks, tiramisu and New York cheesecake gift sets, coffee bean packages, souvenirs *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* Today I'm starting a review of a real coffee gem I've visited three times. After lunch during remote work, you always end up craving a cup of coffee — and today's spot has amazing coffee and cookies at (a name that's a little hard to pronounce) Mini Male Coffee Roaster Yeoksam! ![Yellow sign exterior of Mini Male Coffee Roaster Yeoksam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray-01-15rfe-966.webp) Even from a distance, the yellow sign told me exactly what kind of café this was. The name itself is Mini Male (minimale), and the sign matched that minimal tone perfectly — it looked so pretty. ## Inside Mini Male Coffee Roaster Yeoksam: interior and seating Mini Male Coffee Roaster Yeoksam Branch is on the first floor at 26 Teheran-ro 25-gil, with gray-tone interiors and a steel counter. The tables are spaced generously and every seat has an outlet, which made it comfortable for laptop work. ![Interior with gray-tone décor and steel counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray-02-rtz2l-966.webp) The moment I walked in, that gray-tone interior with the steel counter looked so pretty. The lighting and finishes felt genuinely sophisticated. The tables were spaced wide enough that it was perfect for setting up a laptop and working. ![Café seating with wide table spacing](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray-03-6buj3-966.webp) The posters on the wall were full of atmosphere too. Phrases like Icecream Karte and British Einspänner written in German gave it a European café feel :) So cute. ![Wall poster with German phrases](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray-04-41sal-966.webp) I took a small table by the window. It was raining, so the view outside had a nice atmosphere too. This spot, lit by a single yellow lamp, was perfect for sitting alone to work, and having an outlet at every seat made it convenient. ## What to order at Mini Male Yeoksam: Helsinki latte and black tea The signature at Mini Male Coffee Roaster Yeoksam Branch is the Helsinki latte. You can order at the kiosk or with the owner, and since the Helsinki latte is right at the top of the menu, I picked it without hesitation. ![Small window-side table with yellow lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray-05-1a6mb-966.webp) Order at the kiosk or with the owner! The Helsinki latte is the signature menu item and it's right up front, so there was no way I wasn't trying it. I'd already seen the name in so many reviews, so I picked it without hesitation. ![Café menu board featuring the Helsinki latte](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray-06-1gvl6-966.webp) ![Drink menu board at Mini Male Yeoksam](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray-07-17tv2-966.webp) ![Dessert menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray-08-1luvv-966.webp) The dessert menu had a huge variety too. - ✨ Matcha ice cream latte - ✨ Vanilla affogato - ✨ British Einspänner I was curious about all of them but ended up picking a cookie and a pound cake, and it really is the kind of taste you keep thinking about. I want the recipe. I'm eating it right now while writing this post lol (I went back once more after that) ![Dessert showcase with cookies and pound cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray-09-br16o-966.webp) I heard they roast their own beans in-house, and maybe that's why even the aroma was different. ## Helsinki latte with oatmeal cookie and lemon pound cake on a two-tier tray I ordered two cookies, and at Mini Male Yeoksam they brought them out on a two-tier tray. The oatmeal cookie was crisp outside and chewy inside, and the pound cake topped with a lemon slice was tangy-sweet and moist. ![Stylishly designed café napkin](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray-10-r40fg-966.webp) The napkin had such a nice design that I had to photograph it. Cute, right lol ![Table setting with Helsinki latte and dessert set](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray-11-16i36-m-1200.webp) And then, this visual finally appeared. I only ordered two cookies but they gave it to me on a two-tier tray — I was touched lol ![Two-tier tray with cookie and pound cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray-12-1xpjt-966.webp) With everything stacked up in tiers on the tray, it didn't feel like I'd just come for a cup of coffee — it felt like a proper little tea time. The pound cake with the lemon slice on top was tangy-sweet and moist too. ![Pound cake topped with a lemon slice](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray-13-r3g7a-966.webp) It was my first time trying an oatmeal cookie, and it was crisp outside, chewy inside, and so good (seriously, what is this recipe) The Helsinki latte had a rich milk flavor with a sweetness that wasn't overdone, so I kept sipping it without meaning to. Watching the rain outside while eating dessert — this combo somehow worked so well together. ![Poster about a Helsinki travel story and restroom sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray-14-mz395-966.webp) Further inside, there was a poster telling a story about a trip to Helsinki, along with the restroom sign. It's a little strange how even a café can feel this sentimental just by weaving in a story. ## Wi-Fi, blankets and other conveniences at Mini Male Yeoksam Further inside Mini Male Yeoksam there's a Wi-Fi notice posted, and the shelf even has a retro radio and a checkered blanket. ![Wi-Fi notice at Mini Male Yeoksam](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray-15-1es3o-966.webp) On the shelf there was even a retro radio and a checkered blanket ready to go. If you come when it's cold, wrapping up in this blanket would be perfect. ## Milk tea Flasche, gift sets and coffee bean packages At Mini Male Coffee Roaster Yeoksam Branch, they make their own Flasche bottled drinks in-house. I ordered a milk tea Flasche to go, and the showcase also had separate tiramisu and New York cheesecake gift sets. ![Shelf with a retro radio and checkered blanket](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray-16-1xez0-966.webp) Among the posters on the wall was one introducing the Flasche series, and the line about making them fresh in-house caught my eye, so I ordered one as an extra. ![Wall poster introducing the Flasche series](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray-17-uifps-966.webp) Holding the milk tea Flasche in my hand, the design was genuinely clean. It made me realize how much care goes into even a single bottle. It would make a great gift too. Next, let me show you the showcase. ![Milk tea Flasche bottled drink held in hand](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray-18-4qx1h-966.webp) Here the Flasche drinks were lined up row after row, and they also sell separate gift sets of tiramisu and New York cheesecake! ![Showcase displaying Flasche drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray-19-1dyz7-966.webp) There was also a shelf for coffee bean packages and souvenirs, and quite a lot of people seemed to be buying them as gifts. ![Shelf with coffee bean packages and souvenirs](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray-20-1vxfc-966.webp) Even the cups have 'helsinki' printed on them, which is such a cute detail..! Is this Korea or Germany (?) ![Takeout cup printed with 'helsinki'](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray-21-1dbmg-m-966.webp) ## Outdoor seats and the full table layout The outdoor seating at Mini Male Yeoksam has strong air conditioning, so you can sit there even on hot days. The whole store is a mix of 4-person and 2-person tables, making it a good spot for Yeoksam office workers to visit after lunch. ![Outdoor seating at Mini Male Yeoksam](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray-22-a4y5d-966.webp) This outdoor seating also has the air conditioning cranked up so you can enjoy sitting there. ![Overall view of the store with mixed 4-person and 2-person tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray-23-f2r5i-966.webp) The whole layout looks like this overall (a mix of 4-person and 2-person tables), making it a great spot for Yeoksam office workers to come after lunch. ## Is Mini Male Yeoksam worth a visit? Final verdict Revisit intent: 2000%..!!! I've added this to my list of cafés to come back to whenever I need a break while working remotely in Yeoksam. Next time I'm going to try the matcha ice cream latte. ## Where it is - Mini Male Coffee Roaster Yeoksam Branch (미니말레 커피뢰스터 역삼점) - 26 Teheran-ro 25-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강남구 테헤란로25길 26 1층 - 37.5022456, 127.0354049 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%AF%B8%EB%8B%88%EB%A7%90%EB%A0%88%20%EC%BB%A4%ED%94%BC%EB%A2%B0%EC%8A%A4%ED%84%B0%20%EC%97%AD%EC%82%BC%EC%A0%90/@37.5022456,127.0354049,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@teacup-small-plates/minimale-coffee-roester-yeoksam-oatmeal-cookie-tray/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
