Yeoksam café catch-up with a friend: 2 levain cookies to go, Mini Male

Today I'm introducing ★Mini Male Coffee Roaster Yeoksam Branch (미니말레 커피뢰스터 역삼점)★ as a Yeoksam Station café, a Yeoksam coffee spot and a Yeoksam dessert stop~

A Yeoksam Station café recommended by a friend: Mini Male Coffee Roaster Yeoksam Branch

A friend who works in Yeoksam told me there was a good café near Yeoksam Station and insisted we go, so here we are. It's been a while since I've been in Yeoksam! I came on purpose to see my friend. It was hot and I was craving a cup of cold, tasty coffee, so we headed to a café~!!!

If you're going to have a coffee anyway, it's nicer somewhere with good vibes and good coffee, right? So I made the trip on purpose. I tagged along with my friend, and it's a café with real character!! ★Mini Male Coffee Roaster Yeoksam Branch★

Mini Male's New York levain-style cookies can sell out in the afternoon

You can buy beans here by variety, and the New York levain-style cookies are famous, so I really wanted to try them~ And there's not just one kind of cookie, there are lots of kinds♥

Maybe because we came in the afternoon, some cookies were already sold out!! It must really be a cookie hotspot~ Every customer who came in was buying cookies or eating them, and we hurried to pick ours in case they sold out too, haha. At a glance the cookies are huge and thick, packed with ingredients, and they look so good! I could already imagine them melting in my mouth with a coffee.

Mini Male Coffee Roaster Yeoksam Branch menu: what should we drink?

After wondering what coffee to get, I ordered the signature Helsinki latte and an iced Americano! I'd wanted to try the Helsinki latte before I even came, and the reviews say the coffee is so nutty and the beans so good that it's a total god-tier latte~~

Can't skip the cookies, right?! We ordered drinks and cookies, and they came on this stylish plate♥ It had a total New York feel, like sitting in a café in New York. The coffee setup was neat and lovely, and once the cookies were added it looked so pretty~

How do the iced Americano and cookies taste?

The iced Americano at Mini Male Coffee Roaster Yeoksam Branch wasn't bitter, with a nice balance of nuttiness and acidity. Oh~~ they must use really good beans here~~ The crema was just right, and the roasting was so well done that it tasted great!! The flavors were nicely balanced. The roast point seemed spot on, and with no bitterness but nuttiness and acidity, it was totally my style.

After a sip of Americano, the cookie called to me~~ It's big and thick, the best!! People say it's a famous cookie spot near Yeoksam Station, and now I totally see why~~♥

The signature Helsinki latte: recommended if you love lattes

Mini Male's signature Helsinki latte♥ If you like lattes, I really recommend trying one at Mini Male Coffee Roaster Yeoksam Branch. It felt like seeing the textbook latte. The ratio is spot on, it isn't bitter, and it's nutty and so good~♬

What about the atmosphere and parking?

Mini Male Coffee Roaster Yeoksam Branch has a good atmosphere, good music, and above all it's cool inside! There's also parking in front of the shop, and quite a few people pull over briefly just to grab a coffee~~

So we got lost in chatting♬ The seats were comfortable and the staff were friendly! I could see why Mini Male Coffee Roaster Yeoksam Branch is so well known as a Yeoksam Station café~~ Even as I write this post I'm craving that coffee and cookie again, a total winning combo!♥

The cookies were so good that I bought 2 more on the way out~ For Yeoksam café desserts and Yeoksam coffee, Mini Male Coffee Roaster Yeoksam Branch is the place~~♥
