Sumerian is one of Shanghai's most respected independent specialty roasters, with a serious focus on sourcing and roasting transparency. The Wuding Road flagship has a warm, library-like atmosphere perfect for lingering over a carefully prepared pour-over. Their seasonal single origins are exceptional and the baristas are genuinely knowledgeable. It can get crowded on weekends and the space fills up quickly.
