DongHai Cafe

"The first cup of coffee for Shanghainese" ~ Donghai Coffee House! The first coffee house in Shanghai☕️ "Old Keller" must-eat three-piece set: borscht, fried pork chop, Deda salad (soul dipping sauce: spicy soy sauce) [ThumbsUp] Many old Shanghainese drank their first cup of coffee here. It was closed for a long time and then reopened on Dianchi Road. There are many customers and the noise is loud, but there is almost no customer under the age of 50. The price is not a little cheaper than that of ordinary coffee houses. It is not easy to stick to such a low customer unit price. There are still many snacks for sale in the store. I bought two butterfly cakes as gifts. They are printed with the "Deda" trademark. With the strong support of "Deda", it will definitely get better and better.

An old coffee shop, which was repackaged and reopened. The environment here is very good, with the flavor of old Shanghai. There are also special coffee and snacks. Including classic cakes such as Xiao Fang. I like it very much.

I am neither an old coffee fan nor a new coffee fan. I am a die-hard coffee fan who cannot live without coffee for a day. I have no resistance to cream cakes. Therefore, I could not resist the "temptation" on the Internet and stepped into Shanghai's earliest coffee shop built in 1934 with my "old" sisters to have a "coffee" 😄.

Entering the door, you will see old-fashioned buildings, lamps and furniture. The boss and his wife are very welcoming. There are quite a lot of varieties to choose from. There are also various breads and cakes in a row of cabinets by the window. I just ordered a latte. It is said that Americano will use the special retro cup. Entering the inner room, it is equivalent to a front hall of a house in the past. The space is not large, with only about 20 seats. The business is good. Some people are talking about business, and some are talking about love. The interior is filled with old things that seem to be quite old. The phonograph that is who knows how many years old is eye-catching. The decorations on the wall are very trendy, all of which are modern paintings. The coffee is good, the price is similar to that of most coffee shops, and the environment is quite elegant. At 8:30 in the evening, most of the customers left, and it was very quiet sitting there alone. Unfortunately, the taste of state-owned enterprises still inadvertently appears. 15 minutes before closing, the boss's wife came to turn off the lights and sweep the floor. Customers can only finish their drinks quickly and leave, leaving her figure before the lights in the cafe are turned off.

The Donghai Cafe can be considered an old cafe. I seem to have been there as early as the state-owned era, and then it seemed to disappear in the long river of history. Until a few months ago, I happened to see a report saying that it had been reopened at a new location near the Bund. As a civilian living in the southwest corner, I usually don’t go to the Bund, so I didn’t pay much attention to the details of this report. Last month, I escorted my family leader to the Yifengyuan event on the Bund. When we went out to explore the way to find a dinner place, we accidentally saw the Donghai Cafe in an old building on the short Dianchi Road. When I passed by it for the first time, there were people taking wedding photos at the door. As a result, I wandered around the small roads around that night and passed by the cafe door a total of seven times. It would be embarrassing if I didn’t go in.

I still remember the first time I came to check in at the Donghai Cafe, which had just reopened. There were not many customers and the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. More than a year later, it was crowded with people waiting for a table during the afternoon tea time, familiar and unfamiliar. 📌Location: It is no wonder that there are so many customers waiting for a table. After all, the "Donghai Cafe" is located near Dianchi Road, which has long become one of the most popular check-in places in our big magic city. Various street photos & tourists from all walks of life are always in an endless stream. The Bund business district is really powerful~ 🏠Environment: The interior environment of the retro route is the standard style of the old buildings on the Bund. The tall sense of space well conceals the problem of not paying enough attention to details [naughty] 🔔Service: It is still the Shanghai style service of the aunts and uncles who are full of intimacy, with just the right enthusiasm🉐️, and they can speak Shanghainese and Shanghai Mandarin freely. ☕️Products: "Coffee Walnut Cake" has the aroma of coffee and is full of walnut pieces. The only problem is that it is really, really, really sweet~ "Ice Cream Coffee" is a cup I chose because of memories. It doesn't have the high appearance of Affogato, but it is the most restored taste of childhood. The taste is no longer important. It is precisely because of these feelings that I occasionally come to "Donghai Cafe" to sit, even if there are many people☕️☕️

Walked from Nanjing Road to the Bund Source. Passed by Donghai Café. Old Shanghainese should be familiar with the early coffee shop in Shanghai. I wanted to check in and taste the coffee cake. The store was full in the afternoon, and I was too lazy to wait. I bought cakes and snacks to go home and taste them to recall the old taste. Fresh milk cake needs to be refrigerated. It is not recommended to buy it if the weather is hot and the journey is long. Butter cake and sesame slices are available at room temperature. .
