Gangnam café's vegan jelly pop-up and weekend evening rooftop

In short

Selected Nicks is an 8-story rooftop bakery and tiramisu café tucked in an alley near Gangnam Station, Seoul. Visiting on a weekend evening, I had an iced americano and chocolate banana tiramisu on the rooftop, while the first floor was running a vegan jelly pop-up from the well-known dessert brand Pierrot Gourmand. With cool weather and a view right in the middle of Gangnam, it was a great spot to unwind.

Exterior of the Selected Nicks building tucked in an alley

Selected Nicks! Would you have imagined such a pretty, large café hiding in a Gangnam Station alley? Even the first-floor outdoor tables are gorgeous!! And they do space rentals too, for anyone interested!!

Outdoor seating on the first floor of Selected Nicks

Shall we go inside Selected Nicks? The view is so pretty, though it's a bit of a shame it's tucked away in an alley ㅠㅠ But there were seriously a lot of customers haha.

Quiet first-floor outdoor seating area

The outdoor tables on the first floor weren't very crowded. Why? Because the rooftop terrace is just too pretty,,

There were so many kinds of tiramisu!! Prices ran about ₩8,000 to ₩10,000. I didn't know it, but apparently this place is famous for tiramisu takeout near Gangnam Station — a lot of people were coming just to buy tiramisu haha.

They were also selling Pierrot Gourmand's number-one bestselling jelly as a pop-up haha. I don't know much about desserts so I didn't realize how famous it was, but this thing is actually really well known,, apparently the brand is known for being vegan!!

8th-floor rooftop seating and the view

This café goes all the way up to the 8th floor and has a rooftop too — it's a huge place! We headed straight up to the rooftop.

We went straight up to the rooftop and grabbed a seat haha. The weather was cool and not too hot, so the rooftop seats were amazing haha. It felt almost too good to be enjoying a view like this in the middle of Gangnam.

How the chocolate banana tiramisu and americano tasted

The tiramisu looked so pretty 😍

Chocolate banana tiramisu topped with chocolate

It's piled high with chocolate, and layers of chocolate banana are stacked through the sponge. It paired really well with the iced americano! And it was moderately sweet.

Cross-section of the chocolate banana tiramisu

There's banana tucked inside the middle of the tiramisu, which kept it pleasantly sweet, not overly so haha.

A spoonful taken from the tiramisu
Iced americano next to the tiramisu

The americano beans have a nutty flavor! I prefer beans with more acidity, but my boyfriend likes nutty ones, so this was exactly his taste!!

And to finish it off, the rooftop view!! The weather was so nice that sipping coffee in the cool breeze completely melted away my tiredness.
