After-work dessert at Yeoksam café Roastery Stan: strawberry sando
In short
Roastery Stan Yeoksam Main is a roastery café in a small alley a 5-minute walk from Exit 3 of Yeoksam Station in Gangnam, Seoul. Stopping in after work, the writer ordered the fresh watermelon juice at 5,500 won and the strawberry sando (cream sandwich) at 9,800 won, which the owner assembles to order: the juice is blended from watermelon flesh with no syrup and still has ice crystals in it, and the sando is packed with whipped cream and whole strawberries. With four house beans on the menu, Roastery Stan Yeoksam Main is worth a return visit for filter coffee.

Roastery Stan Yeoksam Main: 5 minutes from Yeoksam Station Exit 3
Roastery Stan Yeoksam Main is a roastery café tucked in a small alley 5 minutes' walk from Exit 3 of Yeoksam Station. I went to a delicious café in Yeoksam-dong with sando (sandwich-style dessert) paired with roastery coffee 😍 I had an errand nearby after work, so I stopped by — being so close to the station was great.
It's located in a small alley 5 minutes' walk from Yeoksam Station Exit 3.
Parking: first 60 minutes free (₩3,000 per additional 60 minutes, max ₩30,000) Amenities: group-friendly, takeout, delivery, WiFi, wheelchair access/parking available
The banner at the entrance caught my eye right away — 'real watermelon juice with actual fruit flesh'! Had to try this one haha, I was a bit thirsty on the way over 🍉🍉🍉🍉
Fresh fruit out front and in the fridge at Roastery Stan
Outside Roastery Stan there was a variety of fruit besides watermelon. I spotted tomatoes and even avocados, which I love. It felt like a fruit shop haha. Seems like they source good, varied fruit from Garak Market.
Going inside, the fridge had even more variety of fruit. Bananas, plums, and more fresh fruit — since the juices are clearly made from real fruit, not syrup, my expectations went up even more.
Four house beans and the drink menu
Since it's run directly by a roastery company, the bean selection (Deep Red, Deep Black, Deep Yellow, Colombia decaf) was really impressive 😎 A place I'd fully recommend to coffee lovers too. ☕
They also had plenty of other drinks like milk tea, matcha latte, and dark chocolate.
Rich milk tea~ I usually love milk tea, but today I was craving fresh fruit a bit more.
The matcha latte looked so good too 😜 Matcha's all the rage these days, isn't it haha.
A rich chocolate latte when you're worn out from work gives you a proper sugar boost and energy haha. That's what tempted me toward the chocolate latte too.
What is the seating like inside Roastery Stan Yeoksam Main?
Roastery Stan has a mix of 4-person and 2-person tables, and the space felt cozy and charming. Some people were sitting outside too — there's a table area outdoors.
Watermelon juice 5,500 won and strawberry sando 9,800 won
My order arrived — Watermelon juice 5.5🍉 Strawberry sando 9.8🍓 So pretty visually, right 😍❤️ I couldn't wait to try them.
I also tried the strawberry sando, which stirs up Instagram-worthy feelings from the look alone. 🍓🍰 Between soft white bread there's sweet, nutty whipped cream studded with juicy strawberries — the combo of fruit bite and cream is honestly the best 😍
One bite of sweet strawberry sando, one sip of cool watermelon juice — pure dessert healing haha.
The owner makes the sando fresh on the spot — the cream was just sweet enough, and the size was perfect for a snack when you're a bit hungry.
Where do you find the sando menu?
The sando isn't on the in-store menu board, so I asked and was told to check the Coupang Eats menu to pick one. It'd be nice if the store had its own sando menu board too — I'm sure there's a reason they don't. I was torn between this one and the green grape sando, which looked delicious too 🩷
How does the fresh watermelon juice taste?
Summer really calls for cool watermelon juice 🤪 The moment I took a sip, it wasn't syrupy or artificial at all — it tasted fresh and sweet, clearly made with real, generously blended watermelon flesh. So satisfying 😋
It was cold enough that you could feel the icy slush crunch, and my thirst just melted away! 🧊✨ It wasn't ice cubes but slush ice, which I actually preferred.
Delivery and the Naver photo review event
Delivery through Coupang Eats and other apps was available, and there seemed to be tons of delivery orders too 😋 Looking at the menu board, they're running an event where you get a butter rice cake or financier for writing a Naver photo review. If you visit, make sure to leave a photo review and grab that free dessert.
That's my visit to Roastery Stan, the Yeoksam-dong café famous for great coffee, sando, and fresh fruit juice. I'd definitely go back — 100% return intent. Next time I want to try the filter coffee they roast themselves.
