Tucked away in a restored 1930s Cantonese villa, this isn’t just a coffee shop – it’s a portal to old Guangzhou, where every sip comes with a side of lingering history and quiet charm.
✨ Why It’s Irresistible
Time-Warp Ambiance: Original terrazzo floors, wooden shutters, and vintage posters whispering stories of the Republic of China era
Courtyard Serenity: A peaceful inner garden where sunlight dapples through old banyan trees
Aromatic Alchemy: Single-origin beans roasted in-house, filling the air with notes of nutty, floral, and cocoa
Local Love: A community hub where artists, writers, and old-timers quietly coexist
📸 Capturing the Vibe

💡 Local’s Tips
Try the Yue-style Orange Coffee – a creative blend of local citrus and espresso
Visit on a weekday afternoon for the perfect balance of calm and charm
Don’t miss the seasonal dessert – like lychee rose cake or black sesame cheesecake
Sit near the courtyard to enjoy the gentle breeze and natural light
