This 20 square metre café probably makes the best latte in the city. The reputation of the shop speaks for itself, and there are always people lining up out front. There are only three tables inside so takeaway is likely the way to go. You can get 5 yuan off if you bring your own cup.
Cafes
Xiamen is one of the first Chinese cities that was open to the world and is naturally one of the first cities that came into contact with coffee. Xiamen actually boasts the highest density of independent cafés in China. In the business district around Hubin Bei Lu and Yuandang Lu, there has been an upsurge of coffee shops and cafes, catering mainly to guests of nearby hotels, business people and office workers.
