Martinez Coffee — Restaurant in Da'an District

After being seated in a nice upholstered chair like all the other patrons, I placed my order and proceeded to wait, and wait, and wait...after 20-30 min the greeter comes back to me and says I need to move from my seat to make room for other patrons who just arrived...he wanted to move me to a wooden stool at the service counter!

Desserts price are surprisingly low and the brewed coffe cost between 250 to 350 but it was worth it The ambiance was pretty relaxing and the shop owner is pretty nice and will take his time to answer all your questions about coffe types and recommendations 😀 Bottom line it is...
