A quaint little cafe tucked a distance away from The Bund with a bookshop diagonally across the street. Due to the mainly white colour theme, the cafe appears sleek, modern and chic. Cafe Begonia serves mainly coffee but if you are keen, pair it with some cakes.

Hidden from the sight of the bustling shoppers, it isn’t easy to find Cafe on Air, awarded the Time Out‘s Best Cafe of Shanghai 2015 award. The coffee and ambience was perfect, a pity cakes was not fantastic which I would recommend skipping totally.

Dressed in contemporary theme with open facade integrating the outdoor and indoor seamlessly. With such design, the disadvantage is the that the cigarette smoke diffuse into the indoor space with ease. 

Like many outstanding cafe in Shanghai, FUMI serves coffee with simple cakes. Luckily these cakes were decent.

Ming Qian Cafe is my ultimate favourite cafe in Shanghai which I will highly recommend. Offering about 6 to 8 beans daily with very unique and hardly seen beans from region such as Yunan and even India. It is rare in Shanghai that the cakes served were equally good.
