First Impressions and Ordering at the Counter

When you enter through the first floor, you’ll find the main counter where a selection of rolls, scones, and pound cakes are displayed. I ordered a cafe latte (₩7,000) and an Earl Grey pound cake (₩4,800).

The Earl Grey pound cake was subtly flavored and not too sweet—perfect for those who prefer light desserts. The slice was so generous in size that I ended up finishing my drink before the cake. Need water? There’s a self-serve water station on the first floor.

Spacious Multi-Floor Seating for Everyone

Cafe Alvers features four floors:

• Basement
• First floor
• Second floor
• Third floor

Each floor has plenty of seating with long tables, and the generous space between seats makes it feel calm and uncrowded. It’s a work-friendly cafe in Seoul, especially with power outlets available near the walls.

Work, Relax, or Enjoy the View

If you’re working remotely or just want to relax, there’s a spot for everyone:

• The basement floor is quiet with wide spacing, though it lacks views of nature.

• The first floor also offers many 2-person and 4-person seating options.

• The second floor is my favorite for its outdoor view and cozy 2-person seats with outlets—great for watching the greenery.

• The third floor is often used for reservations, but you can sit there if it’s not reserved (just be ready to move if needed).

• Most floors also have outdoor seating, perfect during good weather.

Why You Should Visit Cafe Alver

Whether you’re searching for:

• a popular cafe near Gangnam,
• a Seoul cafe with outdoor seating,
• or a quiet cafe with large tables and outlets for remote work,

Cafe Alver offers all that with a peaceful ambiance surrounded by nature. With great drinks, tasty pastries, and serene seating, Cafe Alver in Gangnam is well worth the visit.
