The taste of summer starts from the healing cafes in Jiading
One Step Garden (Jinfu Store)
Taste mellow coffee in this quiet courtyard
One Step Garden (Jinfu store) is in Jinfu, Xiyun Building, covering around 1,320 square meters including 840 square meters' indoor area.
It is a place where you can not only drink coffee, but also taste history.
Jinfu, or Jin's mansion, was originally built by Jin Tong, who owned a silk weaving empire. It was moved from Huzhou City in neighboring Zhejiang Province to the bank of Xiyun River in Jiading District.
The main hall is magnificent, with exquisite carvings between the beams and columns, engraved with a plaque of "loyal heirs" and brick carvings of "good virtue carries good fortune."
The outdoor corridor extends in all directions, and the enclosed courtyard layout is symmetrical. Pomegranate flowers, osmanthus flowers and other famous trees are planted in the courtyard, which exudes the unique artistic conception of the Suzhou-style garden.
"Lakeside coffee" is a specialty developed by the store. Compared with ordinary latte, this coffee is sweeter, with a cool aftertaste of mint, which makes customers feel as if they are on the lakeside where the breeze blows. Hence the name "lakeside."
On the menu there is also cinnamon latte, garden roast duck pizza and garden fried filet mignon. Smell the fragrance of flowers, taste the mellow coffee, and listen to twittering birds and humming insects.

RED KA
A coffee shop hidden in the old street
This is a coffee shop hidden in Zhouqiao Old Street. There is a pleasant open-air courtyard in the store, with canvas chairs, tents, and green turf. Coming here is like picnicking on the grass.
Because the shopkeeper loves Tagore's "life is like summer flowers," the store is mainly colored in red and black, implying that a fresh and refined Brahma flower is unique in the mysterious field.
The coffee names in the store are also unique and creative – "Shanghai 1932," "braised pork," "spring phoenix 10 miles," "take me away." Each coffee has its own unique taste and style.
For instance, this cup of "Shanghai 1932" is like an oriental woman with a story.
Siddharama cold extract shows her mystery and pride. Rose and jasmine syrup add a girlish temperament to her.
The seasoning of old Shanghai glutinous rice wine is classic. Add a touch of jasmine fragrance, like the scent of a woman.
For each coffee, the barista has made a good balance between professionalism and interest.

With white as the main tone, the country club is matched with antique porcelain and silk fabrics collected by the shopkeepers from all over the world. It can be compared with magazine blockbusters of any time, and brings you comfort and solace at all times.
The coffee beans in the shop are mainly made from washed Ethiopia, Colombia and Manning.

MADDOG
Keep in a good mood
MADDOG is in Anting Auto City community. The decoration of the shop is simply white.
Rikki, the shopkeeper, explains that MADDOG means "who is angry goes crazy." She hopes that every customer entering the store shall leave in a good mood.
You can sit by the window, enjoy the wonderful scenery through the French window, taste a delicious coffee and enjoy a long day of silence.
The signature of this shop is the unique flavor of salted egg yolk, Ethiopia SOE latte.
The aroma of salted egg yolk does not cover up the aroma of coffee itself. It is soft and smooth, with a slight sweet fruity aftertaste. Recently, the store purchased a batch of Mozart coffee beans.
These newly launched coffee beans are treated with raisin honey, which is very suitable for making coffee by hand. It is worth a try.
Rikki used to be a designer. She made the illustrations on the walls and designed posters, clay mirrors, and souvenirs for the store herself.
