    Small hipster spot with good coffee and tasty cookies. Glad to find places like this in Shanghai.

    Try their passionfruit cold brew if available. Very very delicious. I also recommend the flat white. I've been coming to this spot every week for almost 3 years. Cafe del Volcan remains my favourite.

    Went in to hide out from the rain, and found a minimalist cafe with a really relaxed atmosphere, great coffee and nice owners. Bring a book on a rainy day, it's the perfect place for it.

    Great coffee shops not only make fantastic drinks but also popularize the culture, especially when in China… They have free weekly mini coffee events every Thu that can be found via WeChat or website.

    This small cafe is tucked on a street with a number of bars but it is not to he overlooked. They serve a range of coffee from different origins and the baristas are very well trained!

    Real espresso in Shanghai! Gibraltars, flat whites, cappuccinos, and even cold brew. All beans have the roasting date on the menu.

    They moved down the street to a slightly bigger location with more seating. Same consistently great coffee, and they have a WeChat mini-app now too.

    Small and easy to overlook but amazing! Hand-dripped coffees were great, the affogato was perfect, and the warm chocolate-chip and cranberry cookie was to die for!

    Can't count how many coffee shops I walked by till I come here! Even had a mediocre cappuccino break to collect energy 😜 But worth all the effort 😍😋 Ps: Barista just told me they'll open new ones!

    Yes it's indeed one of the best third wave cafés in shanghai. The taste, the crema and even the cup and the small space remind me of how we do coffee in Melbourne. Highly recommended!

    Best coffee (espresso, capuccino, etc.) In a coffee forsaken city. Roasts its own beans imported exclusively from a plantation in Guatemala.

    Great selection of coffees from all over the world, French press or drip style. Almost no seating though, be prepared to get take out.

    Pour over coffee is really good. Nice little space for working on a very trendy street. The complimentary cookie that comes with each coffee was also really delicious :)

    Wifi password: ilovecoffee. Edits to reviews: Flat white-still awesome, cookies- not as crumbly and fresh. Hard to find a seat in the tiny shop and outside it smells a bit like sewage or exhaust 😩

    Check out the roast machine in the back of the coffee shop and ask Diana to explain how it works. It's fascinating.

    Very very small cafe. Be prepared to wait for an available table. Servers speak good English so no miscommunication at all. Above it all, BEST COFFEE IN SHANGHAI!

    The best coffee I've had in Shanghai. Do note: the foursquare map indication is wrong; look the address up on Baidu maps.

    A little on the pricey side but when you sample one of their extensive range of coffees you'll soon understand why.
