There are many cafes hidden in the hutongs of Beijing, which are quiet and low-key, and will pass them without paying attention. Unlike downtown cafes, these cafes combine the coffee culture of the West with the hutong culture of old Beijing. Let's look for the quiet aroma of coffee.

No.1 Inger time Coffee

Yin GE time is a Tibetan style cafe located in Wudaoying Hutong. Judging from the decoration of the store, the shopkeeper likes to travel, photograph and loves Xizang very much. Record the beauty and desolation of Tibet with a unique perspective, record the smile and belief of the Tibetan people, try to copy a small corner of Xizang, copy Xizang's warm sunshine and quiet mood for people to recall. Here, you can empty your heart, think quietly, you can read carefully, your mind is too empty, you can make an appointment with one or two friends, talk gently, or you can sit alone in front of the window, basking in the sun, leisurely, slow, warm and leisurely.

No.2 Seven year Coffee

The Seven years Cafe, located in the depths of Wudaoying Hutong, originated from the agreement between friends seven years ago. The joke-like agreement has become a promise that must be kept in this quaint hutong. The store has a set of postcards on the theme of hutong and offers a mailing service called "slow mail". It is up to customers to decide when to deliver. Postcards are shot and produced by the store itself, representing different themes and moods. There is also a book donation activity for children in the cafe-allowing more people who are enthusiastic about public welfare to make their own contribution to the children in the mountain area.

No.3 Muming Coffee

Muming Coffee at 53 Wudaoying Hutong is a cat-themed cafe. Although the cafe is not big, it is cozy, and with a few lazy cats walking around the guests, there is a smell of laziness and petty bourgeoisie everywhere. The cafe also displays many retro furnishings, including Feitian radios, Honeybee sewing machines, old-fashioned thermos, solid wood chairs and flower cushions. Although the staircase to the second floor is a bit steep, it is made like a cat rack, making people feel as if they have become cats in the process of climbing up and down there.

No.4 Daily Coffee

34 Wudaoying Hutong used to be the location of Li Ji Cafe, but now the owner has transferred it to become a new daily cafe. The area of coffee in daily life is small, and the afternoon sun comes in through the old-fashioned doors and windows, warm and comfortable. Peaceful music flows quietly in it. The cafe feels very warm, with old records and all kinds of books on display on the table. The storefront is divided into two floors, and the second floor is a very suitable place for couples to date.

No.5 coffee

In the depths of Guowang Hutong on Old Gulou Street, there is a touch of blue, European-style small windows, small broken flowers, candles, like the morning of the Aegean Sea, refreshing and enjoyable, this is a cup of coffee. A 30-40-square-meter bungalow in an alley soaked in blue and white-people can't help but marvel at the shopkeeper's creative design inspiration. Blue and white is the main color of coffee, which is said to be the beauty raised by the hostess in the color palette with a paintbrush. There are many knickknacks in the cafe, such as LOMO cameras, postcards made by the host himself, and some literary books.

No.6 passing Coffee

Passerby Coffee is located in a courtyard in Nanluogu Lane, where a grape trellis blends with flying Chinese eaves and blue sky, forming an artistic conception that separates people from the noisy world outside. It hardly changes the structure of the old house. It is still a small courtyard with strong Beijing characteristics, but it is full of creative inspiration. The photographic works of many simple characters opposite the main entrance of the house have become a beautiful scenery. On the left is the old log landing bookshelf, which is full of Chinese and English books, the pages are thick and slightly yellowed. A few rays of sunlight came down from the skylight on the roof and shone on the bookshelf, casting a mottled light and shadow.

No.7 Battle Drum Tower Coffee

The Battle Drum Tower is hidden diagonally opposite the entrance of Bao Chiao Hutong, although it is hard to find a trace facing the street. An antique gate walked all the way in, and finally saw the obscure sign. Into the house only to find that suddenly enlightened, the space is very large, unlike some small shops have a kind of repressive cramped. The wide and comfortable sofa is especially suitable for three or five bosom friends to sit and chat. Walking upstairs, I found that there is a unique cave here. The environment on the second floor is like an art studio and a small museum full of finished and unfinished porcelain, handicrafts and paintings. While making porcelain here, I feel the spring sunshine at the same time. I believe I don't have some freedom.

No.8 Xiao Xin's shop coffee

This is a small gray bungalow located at 103 Nanluogu Lane, with orange lights in the red painted wooden windows. There are two old-fashioned simple sofas in front of a vacant lot, while the daily menu is written on a blackboard in colorful chalk. Everything looks exactly like it was 20 years ago. Xiaoxin's storefront is not big. Tables, chairs and sofas in the early 1980s divide the interior into six or seven independent small spaces. There is a very distinctive and meticulous blanket hanging on the wall, and there are many exquisite little colored beads on it. Goldfish and green plants were raised with clear water on the coffee table. The kitchen is small and open, merging with the bar. The aroma of coffee and food drifted away warmly.

No.9 Lu Jiu impression Music Coffee

Push in the roadside gate of No. 109 South Luo and Drum Lane, and go straight inside for several meters. It is these few meters that separate the noise from the disturbance outside. Walking into the courtyard house is like knocking on the old neighbor's wooden door, and the light refracted by the light makes people feel more comfortable. Records are neatly placed on the bookshelf, with milky sofas, posters on the walls, playing electronic organs and old-fashioned guitars. Every young man can find something to excite and move him in rock music.

No.10 Qian Grain Beautiful Tree Museum

This is a small cafe hidden in the depths of Qian Grain Hutong. There is no sign here, only a blue sign posted on the glass. All books in the library can be accessed at will. The faded old walls are matched with huge posters and piles of books on the windowsill, with steaming fresh coffee and nostalgic wooden tables and chairs. It is very pleasant to come here in the afternoon or evening to have a cup of coffee and read a good book quietly. Coffee and gourmet food and courses related to the quality of life are occasionally provided here, and the simple and unique space provides static exhibition space for designers and photographers, planning related exchanges, lectures and other literary courses.
