Directions

A long-standing Beijing institution near Nanluoguxiang that has been a reliable gathering place for artists, writers, and the international community for years. The coffee is solid, the food menu spans East and West, and the relaxed multi-room layout makes it easy to settle in for hours. It's one of the older independent cafés in the area and carries a genuine sense of history. Can feel slightly dated compared to newer specialty spots.
