☕️Environment
Located on the third floor of Eslite Songyan, with the Eslite Bookstore in the back and facing the entire cultural and creative park, the lighting is very good. There are mostly round tables for four people on the window side, and the sockets are concentrated on the side of the bookstore. You can have any needs or imagination for seats. You can directly ask the clerk when you enter the store. Don’t be too pushy and we will try our best to satisfy you within the scope of feasibility😆
There are not many people in the afternoon on weekdays, so it is relatively suitable for studying or working. There are no time limits and there are sockets. If you are tired, you can go out and read a book at Eslite (unchecked items cannot be brought into the store~), or look up out of the window. Very chill.
The store is relatively full from 4pm on Friday to Sunday night. You may not be able to choose a seat or there is no seat, and the environment is noisy. It is more suitable for gatherings and dinners here, but not suitable for activities that require a quiet environment.
btw This restaurant is open until 12pm which is great!

The latte is very beautiful, and surprisingly smooth and delicious. The aroma of the coffee is relatively restrained, but it blooms in the throat as soon as I drink it. The ratio of milk and coffee is quite in line with my preference, it should be close to 1:1. In other words By the way, those who like to drink stronger coffee may consider switching to hand-brewed coffee.
The Earl Gray milk tea with sea salt milk cap is more ordinary and not difficult to drink. The salted milk cap is delicious but just ordinary. If you happen to want to drink milk tea, you can consider it xD
The scallop cream and sea urchin wide roll noodles are not cheap, but I only give four large scallops. I think it should be considered sincere by the standards of a cafe or a light meal, and the sea urchin is the umami flavor of this dish. The flavor of the whole bowl of noodles is greatly enhanced, and it is full of seafood. The store also adds fish eggs to the cream sauce. From time to time, you can feel the fun of the fish eggs popping between the teeth, making the taste much richer. It's a pity that although the taste is good, the presentation on the plate is too casual. It is already the kind of arrangement that can be seen without intention. The scallops are randomly scattered and overturned. Moreover, the ingredients in the two plates of noodles ordered at the same time are extremely uneven. One plate has a lot of ingredients. The bowl is so full of pods that you can’t even see a speck of green in the bowl, so for those who focus on the overall dining experience, there will be a weird dissonance when the meal arrives. I don’t want to be nitpicky about this part, but It’s really a pity🤣
The rose roll and flat croissant were two of the two times I went there, because I didn't want to order a drink I didn't want to drink, so I ordered it to make up for the low cost. The rose cream is full of floral fragrance, and the sweetness and fragrance seem to complement each other. It is a relatively sweet cake, the kind that I want to eat occasionally, so it is recommended to pair it with a non-sweet drink. The shop can help you bake the flat croissant, or cut it into slices for easy sharing. The service is very attentive. It tastes better after baking, but the taste is really similar to the croissant. It’s 130 yuan each, so you can decide for yourself🫡
The most recent time I was about to leave, I saw a familiar Abei coming in. Without even looking at the menu, he ordered Australian Wagyu cheek beef noodles and a glass of red wine. Abei, who seemed to be wealthy and free, should have eaten a lot. stuff, so I decided to order beef noodles next time too!
