Weekend

Isn't it time for everyone to get together

As for where to meet

This time, why not go to a café for coffee and some reading

The editor heard that these ten cafés all have pretty good reputations

Next to Mr.X, the lush storefront looks more like a small flower house. The indoor lighting is rather dim, so sitting alone on a sofa eating and drinking won't feel strange.

The most special feature is the glass flower house—you must turn on the lights to get beautiful photos! The high-appearance, gorgeous desserts, the cocktails that charm many trendsetters, and the creamy caramel macchiato are all the most-ordered items.

Average spending: 50 yuan

Address: Beside Gate 2, Hall C, Longfor Times Paradise Walk (Times Paradise Walk Hall C Musical Fountain Plaza)

If the Beast Garden at Fortune Center goes for a simple and elegant Nordic style, then this one is definitely industrial style mixed with fresh and cute.

Besides the obligatory waffles, their coffee bears a strong resemblance to Starbucks in presentation. Isn't the one in the bottom right—Golden Orange Full House, white chocolate mocha—quite similar?

Average spending: 52 yuan

Address: Outside Gate 1-110, WFC World Financial Center, near China Everbright Bank

A superb high-rise spot overlooking the Yuzhong Peninsula, the artsy fresh greenery space makes you feel especially comfortable despite being on a high floor. Before, you'd look up at the sky from the ground; now try the view looking down!

The gentle and polite proprietress is best at all kinds of coffee and desserts. Holding a warm latte, standing before the broad floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the city's nightscape—two words: romantic!

Average spending: 30 yuan

Address: Room 01, 52F, Building R1, Jiefangbei No.1, Riyueguang Center, Jiaochangkou

The concrete floor, metal pipes, and interspersed greenery add a touch of vitality to the whole shop. Sitting in a dim corner, watching the bamboo outside the window, you feel as if you're in a hidden paradise.

The single-origin coffee is pour-over style; after brewing, it's placed on an iron stand with a small candle underneath to warm it slowly. The mellow, slightly acidic taste—for the editor, a layman, it's more about enjoying the moment's atmosphere.

Average spending: 58 yuan

Address: Outer building of Women's Plaza, Datong Road, Jiefangbei (402 bus terminus)

Immersed in a sea of flowers and greenery, you feel as if you've wandered into Alice's wonderland. Who knows, you might even run into the long-awaited Mr. Rabbit.

Compared to the coffee, the brightly colored flower and fruit teas seem to be their stronger suit. The editor seems to understand why netizens say looks trump taste here.

Price: 30 yuan

Address: 3F, Changjiahui Shopping Park, Danzishi, Nanbin Road

The editor's social media feed has been flooded with this place lately—industrial metal, glass flower house, hip-hop wall art, and starry lighting; in terms of looks, it can absolutely win over a crowd of young women.

The rainbow cake and Murder Watermelon are absolutely the undisputed stars; paired with coffee cups of various shapes, taking photos to feed your social media will definitely make you stand out.

Average spending: 54 yuan

Address: 1F, Hall D, Longfor Times Paradise Walk, Changjiang 2nd Road

This Maan Coffee is quite imposing—5 floors , 3,000 square meters, with a coffee museum downstairs, and a slightly retro Korean style that's romantic and elegant.

Every floor has riverside viewing seats with an open view. On one of winter's rare sunny days, immerse yourself in the aroma of coffee and enjoy a leisurely stretch of time.

Average spending: 52 yuan

Address: Zone 11, Longfor Xingyuehui, Beibin 1st Road

The light-luxury LADY 7 Café, with its sweet and lovely color scheme and elegant, romantic environment, has captured many a young woman's heart—don't miss the perfect chance to pamper yourself!

Compared to the signature honey toast "Blueberry Kelly Style," their coffee falls a bit short, not quite as stunning. Still, as a supporting act, it's quite adequate.

Average spending: 47 yuan

Address: 3F, Darongcheng, Guanyinqiao

The "ugly" monkey is quite the little star, with many oddly shaped little monkeys all over the shop. Everyone who's been there says if you don't take a photo with them, it feels like a wasted trip.

The handsome owner here brews excellent coffee. The light-roast coffee has a rather rich flavor— compared to Starbucks, our Chinese Ugly Monkey doesn't lose at all when it comes to coffee taste! To recreate this light-roast flavor at home, Front Street Coffee's beans are worth a try.

Average spending: 45 yuan

Address: LG-1, R&F Ocean International, Beicheng Tianjie (opposite Minsheng Bank)

A bright and comfortable glass flower house, with floor-to-ceiling windows so large they seem endless and greenery all around—how about coming here for a gathering or a blind date?

The best-selling item is the "Best-Selling Cake." Though the name has a bit of a cringey vibe, the gentle cream topped with fresh strawberries and blueberries pairs perfectly with a slightly bitter latte.

Average spending: 58 yuan

Address: L3321, Evergrande Zhongyu Plaza, 100 Hongjin Avenue

The shops on Ninth Street all seem to be going all out to crush the entire street in terms of looks! This fresh blue-and-white little shop is right across from SoHo, and its light blue exterior is very eye-catching!

Their signature fruit cup has spread from Seoul to Chongqing; the strawberries and mangoes aren't in season, so the taste is a bit lacking. Poor as I am, their latte is easier for me to accept!

Average spending: 65 yuan

Address: No. 12, attached to No. 9 Yanghe East Road
