While the Sanlitun-Gongti area is experiencing a “summer of wine“, with more than a half-dozen bars opening, there are also lots of coffee shops popping up as consumers increasingly go for caffeine buzzes. Here are a few photos I snapped over the past few weeks (I’ll have more but am having trouble getting the pics off my phone).
The newest branch of Cafe Flat White has opened in Sanlitun Soho, across from Moment Cafe. The menu is pricey: will be back soon to try some stuff.
Coquette Cafe has opened just down from Moment Cafe and Flat White, at the end of passageway.
Look for this Nespresso outlet to open on the first floor of Sanlitun Village South, beside the future outlet of Page One.
Out at the drive-in, X Bar & Coffee is under construction near 2 Kolegas.
And the Costa Coffee empire is extending its reach to Central Park: it already has a large operation next door in Office Park.
And while not a newcomer, Moment Cafe has added some new dishes, with its summer menu launched in the last few days. There are eight new items, including a cheese platter with honey (rmb94), sandwich verde (with avocado, cream cheese, cucumber and more on focaccia) and “all’insalata“, a cold pasta with cheddar, ham, olives, basil, cherry tomatoes and mayonnaise-sour cream (rmb52).
