The best thing to come out of Shanghai’s coffee boom is 一尺花园 (One Step Garden). Their restaurants/coffee stores are always housed in well-preserved old buildings with fantastic interior design, like this old kiln in Nanhui (南汇). (The weather doesn’t help taking pictures.)

Or this one in Gaoqiao (高桥古镇):

This one in Qingxi Ancient Town (青溪古镇):

And this one near Chuansha (川沙). (Photos from 2021, they already look so old.)
