Gangnam café terrace and pistachio cheesecake: Something About Coffee

In short

Something About Coffee is a three-floor dessert café in Gangnam, Seoul, between Sinnonhyeon and Gangnam stations. I had pistachio cheesecake, an egg cookie, matcha cream cold brew, and rosehip cherry tea on the terrace. Verdict: go for the handmade desserts and quiet outdoor seats.

A large café near Sinnonhyeon Station with great desserts

There really aren't many large cafés near Sinnonhyeon Station with great desserts. They're often small, or the desserts are all kind of the same—or just disappointing. Something About Coffee is a large café with desserts that never disappoint, no matter when I go.

Something About Coffee dessert café

This time too, my boyfriend and I went all in on dessert!! When am I starting that diet...? I need to take wedding photos, but I keep hunting down delicious things like this every day, so the weight just isn't coming off...? So I've decided to postpone the wedding shoot... haha... At this rate, am I going to postpone the wedding too? ^^

Desserts at Something About Coffee

But there is just so much delicious food in the worldㅠㅠ The matcha cream cold brew and rosehip cherry tea we had at Something About Coffee were seriously delicious and went so well with the desserts too.

Pistachio cheesecake and egg cookie

The pistachio cheesecake and egg cookie were insanely good tooㅠ I honestly haven't had desserts like these anywhere else!!!! They're handmade dessertsㅠㅠㅠㅠ Everyone, if you're looking for a café near Sinnonhyeon Station, you absolutely have to go to Something About Coffee.....

Outdoor terrace tables at the large café

Plus, it's a large café, so there are tons of seats, and in weather like this, the outdoor terrace tables are absolutely perfect. Even if an indoor space is huge with high ceilings, it can still get noisy when it's crowded, you know?

Open outdoor terrace space

But the outdoor tables are in such an open space that they actually feel quieter... Pure healing, seriously... And having a space like this near Sinnonhyeon Station is just so nice.

Something About Coffee location and exterior

I walked over from Gangnam Station. This café sits between Gangnam Station and Sinnonhyeon Station, though it's closer to Sinnonhyeon!

Something About Coffee building exterior

The whole building is Something About Coffee. It's a large café spanning the first through third floors! That space you can see on the right is the terrace!

Different moods on every floor and terrace seating

The first through third floors each have a slightly different feel. In weather like this, I highly recommend the terrace. The weather is so lovely, there is a cool breeze, and even when it's busy, it feels quieter because you're outdoors?!

Handmade desserts and drinks sorted by caffeine

Handmade desserts at Something About Coffee

First of all, you have to get dessert!!! The cakes are especially good, and the cookies are delicious too. They're handmade desserts, so they really are that good.

Café dessert and drink menu
Drinks categorized by caffeinated and non-caffeinated options

There are lots of drink options too, including hojicha choux milk tea and matcha cream cold brew. What I especially liked was that the teas were categorized into caffeinated and non-caffeinated options. That is so thoughtful. I'm sensitive to caffeine, so I avoid teas with caffeine, but more than once I've drunk one without realizing it and ended up awake all night. Something About Coffee tells you right away by separating them, so it's really convenient and nice. You don't have to look up every single one. And there is no chance of accidentally getting hit with caffeine...

Trying the pistachio cheesecake and egg cookie

Ordered desserts and drinks on the terrace

Our order came out looking this pretty. We took it out to the terrace!! Wow, it photographs so well too~~

Pistachio dessert on the terrace

The pistachio is so nutty. The cream is really light too, so it goes perfectly with it. We had gone after a filling meal, but there is always a separate dessert stomach, right? This is why we can't properly lose weight... and keep putting off the photo shoot... haha. But what can I do... It's just too delicious.

Pistachio cheesecake dessert
Crisp, firm egg cookie

I tried to cut the egg cookie to eat it, haha, but it would not cut, hahaha. Since it's a cookie, the outside is seriously crisp and hard. But the inside is totally like an egg tart. Like an egg tart with a hard outer shell?! But honestly, I thought this was way more delicious hahaha. Especially that crispy outer cookie—so goodㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Matcha cream cold brew

I can't drink matcha, but I tried just a little of the cream... Oh wow, it was so delicious... My boyfriend happily drank it for me since I can't have caffeine. From the drinks to the desserts, plus the terrace tables, this was a perfect café near Sinnonhyeon Station. No wonder it's popular!!! I hope the owner does amazingly well!!!!
