In the past, local cafe options were limited to cookie-cutter Western imports like the ubiquitous Starbucks and The Coffee Beanery. And while these are good places for informal meetings, Shanghai's caf scene is rapidly evolving. Asian chains and even local start-ups are offering more elaborate fare and trendier atmospheres than previously available.
And it's not just downtown hipsters who are reaping the benefits: in the past few months, new cafs have popped up in all corners of the city. Take, for example, Hongqiao's 1 Oz 3, a concept caf promoting Australia's urban lifestyle. The menu, apart from savory meat pies and sausages, boasts traditional espresso favorites made from Belaroma roasted coffee blends. According to company spokeman Mark Plummer, the delightful flavor of his coffee is the result of good equipment, well-trained baristas and, of course, excellent beans. |
