Directions

One of Beijing's most respected independent specialty roasters, Metal Hands operates a café near the Drum Tower where you can drink their own freshly roasted beans in a warm, brick-accented space. The flat white and cold brew are standouts, and you can buy beans to take home. It draws a loyal local crowd of coffee professionals and enthusiasts. Arrive early on weekends as it fills up fast.
