Asia China Nanjing Cafes Moke Coffee / 墨客咖啡

Overview

Moke Coffee / 墨客咖啡

The guide was updated: 2019-02-21

Moke is red, a vivid Chinese red, the kind of red that would jump right at you upon entering the café. The barista gives customers the option to pick one coffee bean out of dozens to make that one cup of coffee that suits each individual client. The signature coffee is Mo White (墨客咖啡), decaf, which takes all the bitterness out (not at the expense of flavor).

UNiUNi

UNiUNi

UNiUNi is a café with a modern minimalist decor. Marble tables, metal chairs, cold lighting and a glass wall are all elements that contribute to the contrast between the café itself and the greenery that surrounds it. Their speciality is Nitrogen Cold Brew. The steeping procedure lasts 12 hours wherein nitrogen is bumped into the coffee before it is served, which keeps it cold and creates an abundant foam, which makes the drink look whimsically steamy.

FishTank / 鱼缸咖啡

FishTank / 鱼缸咖啡

Located next to the Jiangsu Art Museum, FishTank is more like an extension of the museum itself. It is famous for its coffee-making classes and various activities. You should definitely try their Savage Ice Cream (暴虐冰淇淋), a perfect combination of their in-house roasted espresso with ice cream.

Victoria Bay Cafe / 维多利亚港咖啡

Victoria Bay Cafe / 维多利亚港咖啡

Victoria Bay Cafe is a classic British afternoon tea place. The coffee here might not be the most outstanding but the British royal-style decoration and the countless choices of desserts can definitely remind you of London.

Yue Shi Shi Dan / 悦舍食单

Yue Shi Shi Dan / 悦舍食单

Yue Shi is an innovative Chinese dessert restaurant. It is separated from the street by bamboo growing all around the perimeter. The wood structure and decor create a Zen ambience, but the desserts here are like nothing you've ever seen. Oolong Tea Ice cream with a hint of ginger sugar, omelette with cream, mango and caramel lotus root – the recipes are beyond imagination. For the seasonal menu, reservation is obligatory.

Old Tea House / 南京博物院老茶馆

Old Tea House / 南京博物院老茶馆

This tea house inside the Nanjing Museum is also a Chinese theatre. There are professional opera artists that perform traditional regional operas every day from 14h to 16h for a 10 RMB entrance fee. So order a pot of tea and some peanuts and sit back enjoying an amazing show.

First Lady Café / 第一夫人咖啡厅

First Lady Café / 第一夫人咖啡厅

The café is located inside the palace where Sun Yat-sen's wife, Song Meiling – First Lady of the Republic of China – used to live. The café used to be the dining room and the saloon, both of which remain largely untouched. All the decor remains in its semi-westernised vintage style. Perhaps, the most popular drink here is Meiling tea. It is said to be served the exact way the first lady herself used to have it.

Librairie Avant-Garde / 先锋书店

Librairie Avant-Garde / 先锋书店

This one is known to be the most beautiful bookstore in China. Unconventionally enough, it is built inside an underground parking lot. Apart from books, you can also enjoy some drinks and some desserts. The librairie is now in expansion and has 8 stores around Nanjing and 3 in other cities, each of them with a particular atmosphere.
