Really bad staf organization. Hygiene not good. I saw a waiter spiting in a cofee... I do not recomand this place.

After walking around Shamian Island, we came by here for our tea time and the cafe was very crowded. Perhaps it was drizzling outside and very cold and so people were coming in to have a hot drink to rest and wait for the rain to stop. We came by here and managed to find a place at the corner which was cosy and nice. The ambience was great, spacious and bright and in fact, its very big too. The place then was nicely decorated with Christmas theme. We ordered our regulars the coffee black and mocha, they were nice. We also ordered the new beverage, apple frits mocha! It was nice and flavourful, one could taste the bites of apple. Love it. Service wise was very slow though in prepping the drinks and also tables were not cleared timely after the diners have left.

Strange experience. Just wanted a coffee. Asked for a cappuccino and was directed to the special barista coffee bar where I waited a long time for expensive, exotic beans. The building is wonderful - one of the best examples in the Shamian area. Don't expect to find a seat on the charming balcony overlooking the main avenue. We were lucky to find a seat at all. Very popular.

Nice southeast Asian style architecture with a new decorative facade color
