Beck's House, famous for its handmade cakes and delicious hand-brewed coffee, has another location apart from the one near Nanjing Fuxing Station, tucked away in a lane on Zhongxiao East Road in the East District. This time, I happened to choose a sunny holiday afternoon to enjoy some coffee and cake with friends. During the afternoon, the place tends to be full, and there is a two-hour dining limit, so I recommend making a reservation in advance.
Environment 5/5
The interior decor is very comfortable, featuring a simple wooden aesthetic and some vintage elements, such as fans and chandeliers. Every corner is perfect for taking photos. Our seats happened to be right next to the floor-to-ceiling window, and the sunlight coming in was very pleasant. The shop also provides self-serve water and has WiFi available 🛜.
Service 4/5
The staff at the counter are very friendly and will help introduce the coffee offerings and cake flavors currently available.

When you visit Beck's House, you must try their cakes, and they often have limited-edition flavors to sample. This time, I had the "Jasmine Peach Chiffon," which I personally highly recommend.
The cake is very delicious! The sponge cake has a delicate aroma of jasmine tea, and the peaches in the middle are wonderfully sweet. The tea-scented cream on top is not overly sweet and heavy; overall, it feels refreshing and delightful ☺️.
