On a return visit after dinner, I had a green tangerine ade, lemon pound cake, and chocolate fudge cheesecake. Verdict: a great pick for pairing bright lemon desserts with rich chocolate treats. ## Good to know - **Hours**: 11:00–22:30 (dine-in closes at 22:00) - **Seating**: Three floors, including terrace seating - **Parking**: No dedicated parking; paid parking is a 3-minute walk away - **Black sesame cream latte**: ₩7,800 (decaf +₩500) - **Green tangerine ade**: ₩7,500 - **Lemon pound cake**: ₩6,800 - **Chocolate fudge cheesecake**: ₩9,800 *as written by the visitor on Sep 12, 2026* After having samgyeopsal (Korean grilled pork belly) for dinner with Jae-eun at Doho, we came to Something About Coffee 🪴 to make room for dessert. This was my second visit, and I really liked it because the desserts are varied and delicious. ![Something About Coffee visitor information](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee-01-1bmxn-966.webp) ## What are the interior and seating like at Something About Coffee? ![Interior space at Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee-02-gb5cw-966.webp) ![Spacious indoor seating at Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee-03-1a28m-966.webp) The café is huge—big enough to span three floors. I visited at 7 p.m. on a Saturday, and there were more open seats than usual 🪑 It is normally almost full at lunchtime, so you have to claim a table as soon as you arrive. ![Seating at Something About Coffee on a Saturday evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee-04-11m0o-966.webp) ![Café seating area at Something About Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee-05-1nfmp-966.webp) The terrace seating is also spacious and nicely set up, but there were so many guests that I could not photograph it properly, haha. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable, so it would be nice for a solo café visit, and I think you would feel at ease with friends, a partner, or anyone else. I recommend it for a first date, too! ## Something About Coffee dessert menu ![Something About Coffee beverage menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee-06-1i99u-966.webp) Coffee / latte / iced tea / cream drinks / sparkling ades / tea ![Sando and cake dessert menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee-07-bg4m9-966.webp) [Sandos] Fig / tangerine / peach [Cakes] Pistachio cheesecake / chocolate fudge cheesecake / lemon yogurt / fresh blueberry cheesecake / yellow cheese cheesecake ![Financier and pound cake menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee-08-1133f-966.webp) [Financiers] Plain / salted chocolate / lemon Earl Grey [Pound cakes] Lemon / Earl Grey ![Display of cookies and scone desserts](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee-09-t3zki-966.webp) Pineapple cake coconut cookie / lemon Earl Grey cookie / chestnut pumpkin ppasseu financier / red bean butter / plain scone. Since I visited in the evening, quite a few dessert slots were empty. Still, I think this was a good selection ^.^ ![Ordered drinks and desserts](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee-10-c9nl2-1200.webp) The stars of the show came out almost as soon as we ordered ⚡️ This was our second café of the day, but desserts are exciting no matter when—or how often—you eat them. ![Black sesame cream latte](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee-11-1ik8a-966.webp) Black sesame cream latte ₩7,800 — Jae-eun's (+ ₩500 for decaf) ![Green tangerine ade and black sesame cream latte](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee-12-1co82-966.webp) ## Green tangerine ade and lemon pound cake Green tangerine ade ₩7,500 — mine I cannot even drink decaf after 5 p.m. 💧 So I ordered a lively sparkling ade instead 🫧 It was not overly sweet, making it easy to drink without feeling weighed down. ![Green tangerine ade sparkling drink](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee-13-syxe7-966.webp) Lemon pound cake ₩6,800 There was just one slice of lemon pound cake left, and it ended up in our hands... With a thin slice of lemon and even herbs on top, it looked refreshing at a glance. The moist, dense pound cake was generously topped with sweet-tart lemon icing, and I loved its bright flavor 🍋 ![Lemon pound cake topped with lemon icing](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee-14-1lpwr-966.webp) The soft cake and gently refreshing lemon flavor came together perfectly for dessert 🫰🏻 A dessert where the subtle tang of lemon and sweet cake work so well together. ![Lemon pound cake dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee-15-25ru5-966.webp) ## Dense chocolate fudge cheesecake Chocolate fudge cheesecake ₩9,800 A cake full of deep, dense flavor from rich chocolate 🍫 The combination of soft chocolate cheesecake and thick fudge chocolate, plus a crisp cookie crust, made the texture great too 🍪 Slightly bitter cocoa powder and sweet chocolate come together, and the more you eat, the more that rich chocolate flavor fills your mouth. ![Chocolate fudge cheesecake with chocolate toppings](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee-16-1t8mf-966.webp) It was finished with plenty of chocolate cookies and chocolate on top, making it a complete cake with a sweet look just from seeing it. If you love chocolate, you cannot help but be satisfied with this rich chocolate dessert! Recommended if you are looking for a chewy chocolate cake 👍🏻 It is located on Gangnam's café street, so it is easy to get to, and the interior is very spacious for a comfortable visit. On top of that, the dessert selection is enormous, so anyone serious about dessert is bound to love this café! This return visit was satisfying once again 👏🏻👏🏻 ## Where it is - Something About Coffee (또오래 주차장) - 71 Bongeunsa-ro 18-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강남구 봉은사로18길 71 1층 내 또오래 주차장 - 37.5020051, 127.0279241 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%98%90%EC%98%A4%EB%9E%98%20%EC%A3%BC%EC%B0%A8%EC%9E%A5/@37.5020051,127.0279241,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@tumbler-afternoons/sinnonhyeon-cake-dessert-something-about-coffee/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
