Combining chic design, great coffee and sweet treats, Cafe on Air is one of our favourite spots to hang out. So much so that it's been nominated for Best Cafe in our 2015 awards (winners announced tomorrow, December 1).
To find this hidden gem, walk down Lane 650 off the busy Huaihai Lu, turn right and head towards the large, unmarked door. Within you’ll find a haven for caffeine addicts and laptop warriors, who congregate daily to enjoy this pleasant sanctuary.
Coffees start at 18RMB for a strong, rich espresso, and range up to 32RMB for a smooth and creamy latte. You can also grab a pour over coffee, tea or juice, all for 35RMB.
As you’re ordering, it’s hard to miss the selection of sweets lining the counter; although it’s a tough call, our favourites are probably the German apple pie (42RMB), which is hearty and sweet and the cheesecake (40RMB), which strikes a delicious balance between fluffy and lush.
Cafe on Air is at No. 634, Lane 650 Huaihai Zhong Lu, near Ruijin Er Lu. For full address details and a map, click 'Read more' below.
