How to Customize Your Own Specialty Coffee

Ever walked past a coffee shop that didn’t look like much from the outside—but turned out to be a hidden gem once you stepped inside? That’s exactly what happened when a group of coffee enthusiasts visited Muhe Coffee, tucked away on the quieter northern stretch of Wanda Pedestrian Street. The exterior didn’t grab their attention, but the interior told another story.

Yes, you can customize nearly every element of your cup at Muhe Coffee—from bean origin and roast level to added flavors like rum or chocolate—creating a brew tailored precisely to your taste.

A Hidden Gem with a Distinctive Vibe

Muhe Coffee is located along the less bustling north end of Wanda Pedestrian Street. Its modest storefront doesn’t scream “come in,” but step through the door and you’re greeted by a striking interior. The space features a punk-inspired design: clean lines, raw wooden furniture, and living greenery climbing the walls. The combination of color and texture gives off a bold, postmodern feel—more curated lounge than typical café.

Coffee Crafted to Your Taste

Muhe Coffee specializes in coffee—not just any coffee, but a range of handcrafted brews that you won’t find elsewhere. According to the owner, the menu includes exclusive offerings crafted by a well-known coffee master. Whether you prefer a classic espresso or something more experimental, the baristas are equipped to deliver. The shop offers both coffee and a small selection of spirits and desserts, aiming to be a relaxed hangout spot for reading, chatting, or browsing the internet over a perfectly brewed cup.

The real highlight? Full personalization. You can choose your coffee beans (by origin), select your preferred roast level (light or dark), and even request flavor infusions such as rum or chocolate. The baristas will craft a one-of-a-kind drink based on your preferences. If you’re in the mood for something sweet and cold, try the Affogato-style Afa Qiduo: a shot of concentrated espresso poured over a scoop of ice cream. Members of the visiting group praised its balance of bold coffee and creamy sweetness—a universally appealing combination and a top recommendation.
