The fireworks and charm of "Magic Capital" are returning! Life is gradually returning to normal, which means that migrant workers should rely on C (coffee, coffee) to refresh themselves from morning till night, and use A (alcohol, alcohol) to decompress and "help sleep" at night!
If you ask the birthplace of "Morning C and Night A" in China, it is undoubtedly the "magic capital" where the first coffee shop in China was born. More than half a century ago, the colorful songs sung in Night in Shanghai never disappeared in this city. Today, I walked into the early C and late A world in Shanghai with Bian Xiao to see the exclusive recommendation of wine and coffee!
# Morning, C, Night, A#
The charm of Shanghai lies in its unique lifestyle influenced by foreign cultures since its opening. Can be specific to the old jazz band of Peace Hotel, brunch on Wu Kang Road, afternoon tea on the balcony of the Bund, coffee fragrance floating from street shops, women swaying with shopping bags in Huaihai Middle Road, cocktails made on the bar ... Being in Shanghai, you might as well throw yourself into it and relax your mood and rhythm. After living for a few days, you will probably understand where the magic of the magic capital lies.
The evolution history of coffee in Shanghai in one or three minutes.
Coffee is not a new cultural phenomenon in Shanghai. It is no exaggeration to say that every Shanghainese grew up drinking coffee. Young people say that their hands are red, cold-pressed, deep-baked, light-baked, American-style, Italian-style, and the old Koehler people have decades of coffee age and are full of accents. Since its opening, the city has planted seeds of coffee culture.
According to legend, coffee was first brought to Shanghai by the British pharmacist J.Lewellyn. He opened an old Deji drugstore on Nanjing East Road today, which also deals in coffee. The "strange" taste and the environment of pharmacies make Shanghainese's initial impression of coffee equal to "cough medicine".
1886, Hongkou Cafe, the first independent cafe, appeared in the concession at that time, mainly for sailors. In the 1920s, some famous cafes appeared along Huaihai Middle Road and Sichuan North Road, such as Coffee Cafe, Carlton Cafe, Royal Cafe and tkachenko Brothers Cafe. Most of them were run by French, Russian, Italian and Japanese expatriates.
At that time, drinking coffee was a pleasure for the upper class and intellectuals, and some cafes were hotbeds of revolution. For example, the coffee shop in Gong Fei is the activity base of Lu Xun and the Leftist League.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the number of cafes in Shanghai increased dramatically, with more than 30 on the way from the Bund to Nanjing alone. At 1946, the cafe has become very popular. Desheng Coffee Shop, established in 1935, imports raw coffee beans from abroad and sells them to western restaurants, restaurants and cafes in Shanghai under the registered trademark of "C.P.C".
1958, "C.P.C" was changed to "Shanghai Brand" trademark, and the following year, Desheng Coffee Shop was renamed as Shanghai Coffee Factory, becoming the only enterprise named after coffee in China. In the sixties and eighties of last century, almost all the coffee consumed by people all over the country came from "Shanghai brand". In the most difficult economic times, Shanghai Coffee Factory also invented "coffee tea" (made of the worst coffee beans and powdered sugar and pressed into small cubes) to meet the thirst of Shanghai residents.
The Shanghai Cafe opened by the salesroom of Shanghai Coffee Factory in Tongren Road, Nanjing West Road was once a respectable place in Shanghai, where both old Keller and new Xiaokai were willing to "hatch".
Similarly, on Nanjing Road, the Mars Cafe opened by Jews during the war was first changed to a restaurant after the war, and later changed to "Donghai Cafe" at 1988. They use coffee beans from Hainan Island and Yunnan, which are ground and cooked now. At that time, a cup of black coffee 1.8 cents, a cup of milk coffee 23 cents, and ice cream coffee only 5 cents 1 cent. It was not until 2007 that coffee was sold for 10 yuan. Because of the low price, the working class in Shanghai has been brought into the ranks of drinking coffee, and this shop is still there.
At the beginning of this century, with Starbucks, Costa and other coffee chain stores opening stores in Shanghai, people know that there are higher-end coffee besides instant coffee. In recent ten years, independent cafes that emphasize the origin, variety, baking technology and barista skills of coffee beans have penetrated into young people. Those shops that look only about 10 square meters and are too small to accommodate more than five guests have produced a unique "boutique coffee".
According to statistics, there are 7,857 cafes in Shanghai in 2022, ranking first in China and even in the world, among which independent cafes account for more than 60%, surpassing large chain cafes. It can be said that independent cafes in Shanghai have become the mainstream in the market.
In such a city that loves and knows how to drink coffee, chain stores have never slacked off. Starbucks opened a wine shop, played a container concept store and opened the world's largest immersive experience store. 1966 Peet's Coffee Pie Coffee, which started the "coffee revolution" in California, is known as the "ancestor of coffee". 20 17, its first overseas flagship store is located in Donghu road, Shanghai, and now there are many branches in Shanghai.
%Arabica, which has been popular all over the world since Kyoto, uses arabica beans and is a coffee shop that only sells coffee. In 2020, the first flagship store in Asia of the century-old Italian brand LAVAZZA also settled in Shanghai.
Second, the best coffee experience place
1, Moon Coffee
2/F, Lane 64, Fenyang Road 1.
Moon Coffee, which used to have only two tables on Anfu Road, moved into this apartment for the elderly at Fenyang Road and Fuxing Middle Road. The location is hidden, but there is a hole in it, as well as the attic and balcony, which finally brings coffee back to the standard of quiet tasting.
Moon is very famous in the coffee circle in Shanghai, where many excellent baristas have been trained. Hand-washed watercress is very rich and will be replaced once every two months on average. Xiaoyue latte and three Ethiopian Australian whites are its magic weapons.
2. Black sheep espresso
Jianguo Middle Road 169-4.
The inspiration of this store comes from many people's S.O.E' s own baking brand "Starting for Planting", which is used by many cafes. There are only three kinds of fixed Italian beans, which have been used for several years. It is this seemingly conservative but steady, plus a period of time, which makes the taste of coffee more and more stable and clearer.
The three kinds of beans are rich and mellow, with tropical fruit flavor and bright acidity. Simply put, it corresponds to three flavors: dark chocolate, creamy raisins and cherry tomatoes. You can order according to your own preferences and find the one that suits you best.
3. Oral contraceptives
Taiyuan Road 1 Lane 771.
Small coffee shops, the sword is biased, only making specialty coffee, but not simply stacking ingredients. The barista's creativity has good technical support. After each cup of coffee, the barista will explain the creative inspiration and flavor to the guests, and the experience is excellent.
We can't recommend you specific coffee, so just tell the barista your taste preference. A lot of people change their tune because of O.P.S, and they are completely caught up in it.
4. Tolerance is great.
Fanghua Road/Building KLOC-0/39 1.
You can find the latest, fastest and cutting-edge beans in the world here. The frequency of changing single beans is one of the highest in Shanghai, and it can supply at least several hundred beans a year. If you want to try something new, come here.
Even if the bean list is so rich, the barista can still be familiar with it to ensure the stability of the product. Today, Rongnaida has transformed from a delicious coffee shop to a well-known baking brand, and cafes all over the country use its roasted coffee beans.
5.Rumaz coffee
Lane 372, Xingguo Road 1.
Japanese-style baking hand-brewed coffee, founded on 20 1 1, is one of the earliest boutique cafes in Shanghai. Its products are very stable and its business has been very good.
Japanese bosses have learned from Japanese coffee baking master for many years, and they have their own opinions on the quality and taste of coffee. He insists on baking coffee beans himself every day and is willing to recommend suitable coffee for his guests. There is no milk coffee here, which specializes in single product coffee. The most popular one is Mantening, and handmade cheesecake is highly recommended.
6. Yeast
No.25 Yanqing Road.
The menu is very simple, with three Italian styles (American, latte and dirty), two single-item coffees and one creative special (Rosa roxburghii), each of which is very popular. Pulling flowers is a must-there are champions pulling flowers here! Fruit monosodium glutamate brewed beer is equally amazing, and simple meals are also widely praised.
Third, the night is sultry.
This city has long passed the stage of clinking glasses and drinking wildly, and all kinds of wine are produced well. Xintiandi, 158 Square and Jishe are the gathering places of bar parties. The pubs that can be found behind the French phoenix tree in Hengfu Scenic Area are either explicit or implicit; Bars with terraces on the Bund and Lujiazui can let you drink the night view of Pujiang. The roadside bar on Changle Road makes drinking simple and grounded. ...
Nowadays, industrial beer may only be available at nightingale stalls. Borana, an old German beer brand, first taught Shanghainese the difference between white beer and dark beer. The beer aunt, who started as a convenience store, used more than 3,000 bottles to let Shanghainese taste the craft beer of various countries and flavors. When Shanghainese learned about Ale and Lager, they turned from bottled beer to taps.
Cocktail bars in Shanghai are basically divided into American and Japanese. You can usually drink classical cocktails (such as dry martinis) and improved cocktails. Some bars can also drink more avant-garde and cooler ideas, and even come into contact with terms such as barrel wine (pre-mixed finished cocktails are aged in oak barrels) and molecular cocktails (from the way of mixing wine in molecular cuisine, using physical and chemical methods).
In addition to these mainstream bars, you can also experience the Speakeasy-style bar where the entrance is hard to find, and mix whisky with business men in suits and ties. Nostalgic people can go to jazz bars near the Bund and dream of "Shanghai Night" in a lazy and retro atmosphere.
Fourth, the best alcohol supply place.
1, personal information center
Gaoyou Road 17.
In 20021year, this bar won the most potential award in the list of the 50 best bars in Asia, and its reputation lasted for many years. Champion bartenders are their magic weapon, so it's best to sit at the bar, appreciate the skills of bartenders and take the opportunity to steal cocktail knowledge. They are also happy to interact with customers.
Yamashita Fujiyama and Braveheart are the models with the highest order rate, and the blind spots will not be thundered. You can also open your heart and say whatever you have, and wait for the bartender to improvise.
2. Carnival
No.222 Xiangyang South Road.
The designer of this cave bar must be a fan of Gaudi. There are few sharp corners or straight lines here. It draws lessons from the irregular concept of caves, but the space is not really as compact as caves. No wonder he won the "China Cotton Tree Design Award and 2020 Interior Design Award".
The cocktail tastes and looks good. We like the special cocktail "Worry Silk" with its own fairy posture, and the wine-based "Meet Flamengo" is more suitable for women who can't drink well. The food is Spanish.
3. Sioux Bar
No.30 Huashan Road 1 Genghuashan1Building.
Recognized by "drunkards" as the best Japanese bar in Shanghai, there are top Japanese bartenders sitting here. The signature martini is considered to be the best one in Shanghai. Whisky sour wine is also very fine, and the peat smell is relatively suppressed, highlighting the fragrance of flowers and fruits. MORI based on gin tastes soft and pure, while Dial with a touch of jasmine fragrance is an elegant blend of rum and sherry.
As a Japanese-style bar, the side dishes such as Guandong cooking and cold noodles also live up to expectations.
5. Underground bar
1920, the United States issued a prohibition order, and it is illegal to manufacture, sell or even transport beverages with alcohol content exceeding 0.5%. Therefore, during this period, many mysterious "underground" bars appeared in the United States-usually hidden in alleys, with secret doors or mysterious passages, and doormen also had the eyes to identify prohibition agents.
Although prohibition has long been lifted, this mysterious and secret way of drinking has been passed down. Shanghai is the first city in China where underground bars appeared. Looking for the novelty of the bar entrance (sometimes freezer, sometimes bookcase ...) has been blowing, maintaining a consistent good reputation, relying on the quality of the wine itself.
1。 ; capital letter
No.51Fenyang Road.
1 The window of the building looks like a hat shop, and there is also a late-night barber shop. Drinking is hidden enough. The bar is divided into two floors, one for cocktails and the other for whisky. The wine is delicious, and the snacks are delicious.
2. Barber shop
6 15 Yongjia Road.
The entry-level shampoo chair and shampoo products are really disguised like that, but I believe you can find the bottle representing the switch. The decoration of the bar also caters to the style of prohibition-red brick walls, waiters in suits and vests, and jazz in the 1920s. ...
3. Aunt Beer
Yan 'an West Road 1686.
Aunt Beer is a magical legend in itself. Large shops are both beer supermarkets and bars. When you walk into the store, you can see more than 3,000 kinds of craft beer, of which only 100 bottles, and there are more than a dozen draught beer, with prices ranging from a dozen to several thousand yuan.
If you are a heavy beer lover, you must make a pilgrimage here to see how many kinds of beer you know and drink.
Beijing east road 190 Shamei Building 1 Floor.
The Shamei Building in the new Renaissance style is a newly-built "network celebrity" in Shanghai. Built in 192 1, formerly known as Samet Bank Building, it was used for residence and office. The building was closed for maintenance from 20 14, and it was not reopened until last year to welcome new students.
A number of restaurants, hotels, galleries and bars with unique designs have opened in the building, all of which are remarkable. Deck, which is located on the first floor, is a cafe/bar with early C and late A. Its rugged industrial design is very photogenic, and it combines the classicality and magnificence of Shamei Building.
During the day, this is the place to drink coffee. After turning into a bar at night, you can drink the products of famous wineries around the world, and you can change the wine list from time to time.
Bian Xiao's thought: Moderate drinking is nourishing, while excessive drinking is harmful to health.
