Recommended Café in Shanghai, China: HANA COFFEE

🇨🇳 Shanghai, China 中国上海
💜 HANA COFFEE

Shanghai, China, is known for its thriving coffee and café culture. No matter where you go in the city, you'll find popular and renowned cafés. After having lunch in the Changshou Road (长寿路) commercial district, I decided to enjoy a cup of coffee as dessert and searched for a well-known café in the area.

HANA COFFEE, located on Changshou Road (长寿路), has been gaining popularity recently, so I decided to give it a try. The café's exterior is decorated in purple, making it easy to spot.

Looking at the drink menu, I found a wide variety of options, so I asked the barista for a recommendation. The barista suggested their signature coffee, an iced cold brew topped with taro foam. Naturally, I ordered it.

The coffee was priced at 36 yuan, which is relatively expensive compared to the general cost of living in China. The cold brew was refreshing and mild, while the salty taro foam on top added a unique touch. Initially, I drank it without using a straw, allowing the salty taro foam and mild coffee to blend perfectly. Later, I stirred it with a straw, which created a smoother taste.

Although there are no indoor seating options, the outdoor area is equipped with fans and has plenty of seating. I sat there, enjoying my coffee and spending some leisurely time.

If you happen to be near Changshou Road (长寿路) during your trip to Shanghai, make sure to stop by for a cup of coffee 💜
