Reviews
- Harper_13What a find!! This place is tucked right outside the south gate of the Temple of Earth park, and honestly it's the perfect little escape from the city buzz. The building itself has this old-school charm — really beautifully done inside, super photogenic if you care about that kinda thing. Getting there was easy too, just a short walk from the Yonghegong subway stop and there's a parking lot right out front. Coffee is legit. I got a flat white with gorgeous latte art, and my friend had a classic latte that was rich and just really comforting. Then we split a waffle — fresh off the iron, crispy on the outside, soft in the middle, with jam and cream that wasn't overly sweet. Honestly one of the better waffles I've had in Beijing. After walking around the Temple of Earth all afternoon we were wiped, so plopping down here with coffee and just staring out the window was exactly what we needed. Total chill vibes. Great spot if you want somewhere quiet to hang, take pics, or just catch up with friends.
