As a matter of fact, I am not very fond of cafes, but in the year I lived in Beijing, I went to cafes much more frequently than in Taiwan, although the coffee in Beijing was not good enough. The only ones I like to go to are usually the whole afternoon or even seven or eight hours, basically using the coffee shop as an action office.

The place that my colleagues and I visit most often is this sofa cafe, Caf é de SOFA. The reason is simple-it's too close to our office. Walk out of our shop on Yandai oblique Street and turn right at the west entrance and walk across the Silver Ingot Bridge for less than a minute. But not only because of the proximity, but also because of the warm feeling like home here. The boss is a young Taiwanese couple, and we have already become good friends.

The sofa has only been open for more than a year and has been ranked among the top 100 restaurants in Time Out Beijing best 100. the coffee shop project has been crowned again. Its space is actually very small, the second floor interior + the first floor top terrace (not open in winter) are all less than 50 ping. Authentic Taiwanese-flavored cheese tea, fried tempura, pearl milk tea and Lu Meat Rice are all famous, especially Lu Meat Rice, which can be said to be the closest to the hometown flavor of so many restaurants that advertise Taiwanese snacks in Beijing.

The boss, Egg, is a famous gourmet in the clientele of Beijing. He said in his blog: "I have a moustache, but I'm not Japanese-thank you!" With a small bald head, just because I want to be my own style; with small glasses doesn't mean I'm necessarily a knowledgeable person. With a lot of facial expressions, I don't necessarily have the characteristics of an artist-I'm lazy, so I'm not very good at answering messages, and I like to say words. " Recently, every time I go there, he will take the initiative to recommend my good exhibitions or activities. Maybe I have been classified by her as a young woman in literature and art.

The boss's wife and sister-in-law may be the reason why the sofa is so warm and like home. As long as she is there, the whole small space seems to be sprinkled with warm sunshine, which makes people feel comfortable and at ease. Sometimes I see her teaching the waiters some details and feel that the young girls who work here are so happy that even I want to apply.

There is also a member of the Egg family, which can be said to be the signature of the sofa-this hybrid Chihuahua egg ball, in addition to happily running out to meet the guests at the entrance, will also run up and down and bite the toy to force the guests to play with it. It was cold recently, and when the egg ball put on a small skirt, I knew it was a woman.

Almost all the guests on the sofa are regular customers, because as long as they go once, they will continue to come again and again. My colleague and I are an example, and because we all use the sofa as our own conference room, we always bring visitors there to chat, and soon the guests we have brought have become their regular customers, including locals, outsiders and even foreigners. Every time I go to the sofa, I can't help hearing a bunch of people greeting, "you're here today!" Or something like that.

On the wall of the entrance, there is a sentence written in Chinese and English: "it is called sofa. In fact, there are not many sofas here. We hope that through the meaning of sofa, we hope to extend a warm and comfortable atmosphere like home." let you enjoy beautiful, simple and sincere food here at ease. "

To learn more about sofas, you can visit Egg's blog, which also contains comments on cuisine from all over Beijing, which can be called a Taiwanese-style Beijing food guide. If you come to Beijing Shici (Houhai) one day, don't just notice those noisy bars, bend into the Silver Spindle Bridge Hutong and sit on the warm sofa.
