Directions

A beloved neighborhood café tucked into a quiet lane in the French Concession, known for its Central and South American single-origin coffees and relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere. The outdoor terrace under plane trees is one of the most pleasant spots in the city on a mild day. Their cortado and cold brew are standouts. Service can be slow when it gets busy, so don't come if you're in a rush.
