I've heard there's a café on beach street.

Through the bustling Zijingshan Road, bypassing the excitement of the New World Department Store, finally came to this inconspicuous old street.

Old blocks and old houses

The sky-covering French parasol trees cover all kinds of snack bars, hardware stores, department stores... shared bikes filled with traffic on both sides of the road.

It is said that Nitrate Beach Street was named after the famous Nitrate Beach, and the people here also made a living by scraping alkali and boiling salt. Now, there is no trace of nitrate-making in the streets.

Thick fig trees, green pomegranates sticking out of the walls, red brick walls, rusty anti-theft nets... all show the age of the streets. Children's frolicking, chatting old people, pots and pans Ding Ding, everywhere is the smell of fireworks.

Courtyard Cafe in the Market

Not long after, I saw this cafe. Small and eye-catching door head, and the old temperament of Xiaotan Street skillfully blended together. It made people instantly want to go in and investigate.

Entering through the mottled red door, a small courtyard from the 1950s and 1960s appeared in front of you, and several of the leafy figs were ripe. The red brick walls were barely renovated and blended in perfectly with the wooden doors. Simple casual decor warm and intimate, there is a primitive fun.

As soon as he looked up, he could see potted flowers on the balcony on the second floor and clothes drying next door. The racing cars by the wall seemed to have been ridden over this morning, and there were newly swept leaves at the corner of the bar…unlike ordinary coffee shops, this place was more of a living atmosphere.

A store, a dream.

As soon as he entered the door, a handsome black guy came out to greet him. He was the owner of the Market Cafe, a shop for one person. Everywhere you can see the logo of the market coffee, old-fashioned sewing machines, hand-woven storage, dried flowers and other decorations. Looking at the menu, there was almost nothing else except coffee, milk and fruit tea.

The old-fashioned layout of two rooms and one living room felt a little small, so the owner even made some partitions, coupled with the dim and comfortable lighting, a little late at night canteen tone.

During the chat, he learned that the house belonged to the owner's grandmother. He didn't expect that one day it would become a cafe. He hoped that even in the cold winter, when you pushed the door open, there was a warmth and warmth of home.

From the pillow to the poster on the wall, to the random books on the wall bookshelf, every detail is very grounded. There is not too much stylized stuff here, coffee can also be brewed according to your taste and preference, even if you don't know coffee, it doesn't matter, in addition to coffee here is more comfortable.

Sitting in the room, ordered a cup of honey grapefruit tea, there is a feeling of home, add ice immediately summer heat completely eliminated, taste is really just right. As for the price, it was no different from other coffee shops. Listening to music, reading a book for a while, or having a daze, playing with a mobile phone, sleeping... all felt quite good.

On weekends, there would often be some small language group teaching parties in the courtyard. A group of people chattered in the courtyard, which was also quite lively. The shopkeeper was familiar with the people here. The cleaning aunt, the neighbor uncle, and the grizzled grandmother would greet anyone in the garden. There was the aroma of coffee in the small courtyard, as well as the smell of time.

The cafes on this street seem to have accepted their fate of being missed from the day they were born. But the owner has his own hold. There are human feelings in the market, shouting in the street, laughing and playing in the courtyard... there are rare fireworks in the city, there is a sense of closeness under reinforced concrete, you can spend your time at ease.

Put down the cup, we will step into the current of life. This old street, this market cafe, the fireworks here, how much will leave us some thoughts.
