A quirky but cozy cafe with interesting decorations. The inside is quite large with plenty of seating options. I especially like the music selection, which was a mix of soft low-fi, piano, jazz, and instrumental music. The WiFi is great, the food/drinks options are really good (you can have a proper meal here), and the staff was very friendly. There are some drawbacks though. Most of the seats are hard and not very comfortable for extended stays, and some of the larger tables are lacking access to power outlets. In any case, it's nice to spend time here in the morning when it's very quiet, it got a little busy during lunch time though.
Relaxing atmosphere, with nice background ambient music (both high and low tempo). There are many tables, but most seem to not have access to power. If you need power you should try to get a counter seat. The outdoor seating area is large, and looks like a great option when the weather is nice. Good drinks selection and very reasonable prices! One minor downside might be that most of the chairs are quite hard, and perhaps not very comfortable for extended stays.
An interesting cafe with three different seating areas, each with its own style. There's a large outdoor seating area as well. I'm not quite sure if this is a bar, restaurant, cafe, or maybe all three! The "lounge" room looks really cool, but it's not very suitable for working. The staff is friendly, there's good WiFi, and power outlets at some seats. It was almost empty during the late afternoon on a weekday, perhaps because the prices are quite high (200+ for a small drink) compared to some other cafes nearby.
A quiet cafe near Yongchun station. The interior feels intimate and personal, and the owners seem to put a lot of care into drink selection and menu design (which is available in both English and Chinese). There are several small tables, one larger table, and counter seats facing the window. There are power outlets everywhere (great for study and work), and the WiFi is good. The only "drawback" is that I spend too much time looking at the cute cats!
A nice, small cafe with a sense of community. The first floor has only counter seats and is not very spacious, but the open kitchen gives a welcoming feeling. Take the stairs to reach the comfortable second floor seating area. There is a sofa area, suitable for relaxing, counter seats, and small tables. Power outlets can be found at every seat, and there's WiFi. There are also great food options, the Danish toast is definitely worth trying. One minor “shortcoming” might be that the atmosphere is too relaxing and you might get distracted from your work or studies. It is easy to fill up after 10:30, so come early!
A decent cafe to study or work from. It's comfortable, quiet, some seats have access to power, and there's WiFi. However, the interior feels a little generic, and the drink selection is quite ordinary. Still, it's a good option if you need a place in the area!
A quiet and cozy cafe close to Yongkang Street. Relaxed atmosphere good for working or studying. There are counter seats, small tables, and a large worktable (which I think can be reserved). The outdoor seating looks like a good option when the weather is nice. There are two cats that may come up and say hi to you (you can find their names in the menu). The restroom facilities are quite basic.
A modern cafe, with fast WiFi and a very large and interesting drink selection. Only some seats have access to the power though. The large worktable did not have any power outlets. Also, the music selection was a little strange, and not really to my liking (electronic ambient music). Note that the food portion size is very small (only suitable as a small snack). Time limit of 3 hours might be enforced during busy times.
Update: The WiFi has become much slower
Trendy cafe/restaurant, modern interior, dim lighting, and lounge music. It's workable, but might be crowded/noisy during lunch and dinner time. There are two large worktables in the back, counter seating, and more tables near the front. Lots of power outlets, but the WiFi was very slow (at least in the front seating area). Good food, and the portion size was quite good, but a little pricey.
A good cafe if you're looking to work/study and also have some lunch. The atmosphere feels very relaxing and homey with soft music playing in the background. There's a good choice of both drinks and food. I tried the Japanese curry rice, which was really tasty. The cafe is small and it filled up in the afternoon, so it's good to arrive early!
