Le Park Cafe 公園咖啡館

Located near the #Nanjing Sanmin MRT Station, this cafe offers a variety of hand-brewed coffees and desserts. The overall environment of the cafe is very comfortable and vintage, giving off a rustic European old house vibe. It's also a great place for working, studying, and using a computer 🧑‍💻.

Going up the stairs to the second floor reveals another world, with circular arches and small sections for four people that are very unique. Sunlight can shine into every corner, creating a fantastic atmosphere. I especially love their dark green wall color 🌿.

🍴 Puff Pastry Apple Pie with Ice Cream $180

The apple pie is their signature dish and is highly praised online.

I ordered a serving, and I realized it's completely different from traditional apple pie. Instead of the usual crust, they use a puff pastry technique, layering thin slices of apples inside and topping it with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream.

It feels fresh to eat, presenting a dessert style that is rarely encountered, and it’s not overly sweet.

The pastry is very crispy and thin. When you cut into it with a fork, it crumbles a lot, which is perfect for scooping up some ice cream to enjoy together. The texture is rich and substantial, making it a dish worth trying.

🥛 Crispy Brown Sugar Milk (Hot) $160

There is a thick layer of crispy brown sugar on top of the milk, which looks very tempting. You can knock it with a spoon and hear the crunch.

You can drink it directly from the cup to enjoy both the brown sugar milk foam on top and the warm milk underneath. It’s very smooth and comforting. I highly recommend it!

☕️ Hot Latte $160

The latte art on the milk foam is incredibly beautiful. The size of the coffee is quite large as well. The sensation of the surface tension spilling over is delightful with the first sip, though the coffee has a slightly bitter taste, which is acceptable.
