Station. It's a nice stop during a stroll around Yeonnam-dong, and it's near the Yeonnam-dong community center, so it wasn't hard to find. ![Noknok ₩1,900 takeout americano promotion](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe-04-s4wmx-900.webp) They're also running a ₩1,900 takeout americano promotion! ## Noknok's 1st and 2nd floors: where to sit for studying Noknok is a big café with two floors: the 1st floor suits chatting, and the quieter 2nd floor suits studying and laptop work. ![Inside the two-floor Noknok](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe-05-1bhmn-900.webp) ![Noknok 1st-floor ordering area and seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe-06-g9n0f-900.webp) The 1st floor has the ordering area plus large tables and sofa seats, which is great for talking with friends. The whole place has a stylish feel, with black and green working well together. ![Black and green seating area inside Noknok](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe-07-oum30-900.webp) The 2nd floor is a bit quieter, and a lot of people were studying or working on laptops. Best of all, there are so many outlets! They're on the walls and around the tables too, so it's really convenient if you're using a laptop or tablet. The Wi-Fi works well, so staying a long time felt no problem, and the restroom is inside the building, which was handy. Note that there's a 2-hour limit on weekends and public holidays. ## Noknok menu: decaf option and bakery selection The drinks range widely, from the signature coconut water drinks to coffee, ades, smoothies and tea. You can choose your beans and switch to decaf, so I liked that you can have coffee late in the day without worrying. ![Noknok drink menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe-08-139z5-900.webp) The bakery selection was quite varied too: salt bread, baguettes, baked sweets and cakes. It looked great for a light brunch or dessert. ![Noknok bakery display](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe-09-b5mcn-900.webp) ![Breads sold at Noknok](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe-10-r746k-900.webp) ![Noknok bakery menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe-11-ugzot-900.webp) ![Noknok baked sweets and breads on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe-12-st265-900.webp) ![Noknok bakery corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe-13-12yk8-900.webp) ![Noknok desserts and cakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe-14-1um3b-900.webp) ![More of Noknok's bakery menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe-15-17wr5-900.webp) ## How were Noknok's sandwich and decaf americano? I wanted a simple meal that day, so I ordered a sandwich and a decaf americano at Noknok. ![Sandwich and decaf americano ordered at Noknok](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe-16-6oztu-900.webp) ### Decaf americano Noknok's decaf americano wasn't flat at all. It had a clean flavor that really came through, and I was happy with it. When I go to a café late in the afternoon I often give up on coffee because of the caffeine, so being able to choose decaf and enjoy it without worry was great. It paired well with the sandwich too, and it was just right for sipping slowly over a long stay. ![Noknok decaf americano with a sandwich](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe-17-1dnx8-900.webp) ### Sandwich The sandwich was packed with fillings, so it was more filling than I expected, and the combination of fresh vegetables and ingredients was clean and easy to eat. I'd thought of it as a light brunch item, but the portion was quite decent, enough for a full meal while working. There were so many kinds of sandwiches!! It was a little hard to choose. ![Noknok sandwich menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe-18-1h2hk-1200.webp) ![The variety of sandwiches at Noknok](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe-19-14qms-900.webp) ![Another Noknok sandwich photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe-20-15rnw-900.webp) ## Is Noknok worth recommending as a study café in Yeonnam-dong? If you're looking for a good study café in Yeonnam-dong, Noknok is definitely worth recommending. The spacious interior, plenty of seats and outlets all around made laptop work and studying really comfortable, and the atmosphere, which doesn't feel stuffy even after a long stay, was its biggest strength. On top of that, with a varied bakery, meal options and decaf coffee, I felt it covers everything from a light brunch to studying to chatting with friends. If you want a quiet café in Yeonnam-dong where you can stay a long time, I think you'd be happy with a visit to Noknok. ## Where it is - Noknok (녹녹) - 139 Seongmisan-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 성미산로 139 1층,2층 녹녹 - 37.5637823, 126.9220025 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%85%B9%EB%85%B9/@37.5637823,126.9220025,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@weekday-spoon/yeonnam-nocknock-sandwich-decaf-study-cafe/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
