Whether it is a day on the road or an afternoon after work, there is always a group of coffee lovers hanging around in the coffee shop, sitting for an hour or two, just like an attitude towards life. In addition to the protagonist of a strong cup of coffee, a dessert displayed in a glass refrigerator is the best supporting role, while elegant and modern interior decoration is an excellent stage. Mixing all the elements is the best coffee shop in my mind.

Coffee shops seem to be a more important part of local life in Xiamen, China. Young urbanites and petty bourgeoisie after work will gather here day and night as long as they think of spending time with friends. That night, I came to Coffee Street, which is located on Yuanyuan Road. A whole row of continuous Western-style coffee shops and restaurants facing the lagoon, a path surrounded by trees on both sides, and brighter tree trunk lights at night, full of intoxicating style. Although the lake was dark after nightfall, it was very comfortable to take a walk on this lakeside street.

Xiamen has long been one of the more economically developed areas in China, but it is not as crowded as Shenzhen. When I came here for the first time, I thought it was morning or afternoon to drink coffee, but people from Xiamen were still recreating here late at night. Unexpectedly, coffee can be as popular as alcohol in Xiamen.

I went into one of the coffee shops very casually, the building is three stories high, and I have seen the menu board and price from outside. A cup of coffee is about 40 yuan, and the bottom part of the menu says "the minimum consumption per capita is 35 yuan" in a slightly small type. it's a reasonable level. After paying, I went to a seat on the top floor overlooking the lake, chatted with my friends and took a look at the night in Xiamen opposite. In a twinkling of an eye, it was early morning. I thought caffeine would keep me awake all night, but in the cool autumn wind, this cup of warm latte coffee actually made me sleep more. This night, I tasted the late-night coffee culture of Xiamen people. With such a beautiful match-food, scenery and atmosphere, I can't help but want to come back again. It turns out that evening parties are not necessarily just alcohol. It is because there is no alcohol that Xiamen people spend their time at night so quiet and comfortable.
