A place where we can go on a date, where we can be alone and where we can have a chat, these coffeehouses in Beijing are free from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis. No matter businesspeople or arty people, you can always find your comfort and peace at these cafes.

It’s hard to imagine that there is this little quiet coffeehouse in the most well-known and bustling commercial circle in Beijing.

C5 Cafe

Located on Xiwu Street, Sanlitun, C5Cafe boasts its beau tiful interior design. It can frequently be seen that girls who come here for coffee are taking selfies.

Simple white walls, wooden tables and glass windows make the whole space spacious and bright. Instead of creating a cozy and warm environment, this coffeehouse tries to present a cool and minimalist Nordic style. In here, you can always forget the restlessness and desires in your heart even before you notice. This is the place where you can stop for a while, relax and enjoy.

Soloist Coffee

The American vintage style two-story coffeehouse, located at the Yangmeizhu Bypass, is decorated with old lamps, tellurions and typewriters, along with the ceiling in cement color, creating a cold but old atmosphere. If you are obsessed with beautifully designed coffeehouses, you have to come here.

Offering a cup of good coffee is what the owner has been trying to do. Many baristas and coffee lovers would gather here to talk about coffee beans and how they can make better coffee.

The first floor seems always to be crowded. It is suggested to sit by the bar counter where you can see how baristas make coffee, or go to the terrace on the second floor where faces old houses and is more comfortable and relaxing. You can either chat or simply enjoy the sunshine.
