×Coffee & fresh-baked pastry

Why you must eat itA long-standing open-air cafe with tables spread across a shikumen courtyard in Tianzifang. In a corner walled with brick, it is a good place to sit mid-wander and rest over a strong coffee and something fresh from the oven. Mornings lean to brunch, afternoons to coffee, evenings to beer, so its face shifts through the day. Order at the counter inside; seats are scattered around the courtyard. Craft shops and galleries press in on all sides, and you can watch the crowd pass. The sweets change daily, often scones or cake. When the walk tires you, step a little out of the lane noise here.
