As Harbin people know, in the early years of the last century, Central Street has been mixed with Chinese and foreign, a prosperous. But do you know what the name of the first Western restaurant here is and when it was founded?
As early as 1900, there was already a Russian-run Western restaurant called "Five Pear Valley" on Central Street. Lin Piji, a generation of Western masters in Harbin, started his Western career in this restaurant. In the decades since then, the western restaurants in the central hall have grown rapidly, with nearly 40 western restaurants operating at the same time at its peak. Born in the 1930s, Professor He Hong of Harbin Business University recalled that in his childhood memory, Western restaurants were everywhere on Central Street, so that almost most basements on the street were Western restaurants.
When it comes to western food, coffee is naturally an indispensable leisure culture representative here. It is more like a flower in western culture, quiet and quiet quietly blooming in the corner of western restaurants and cafes. Romantic dating, warm reminiscence, simple discussion…Western food and coffee add quality and personality to life, beauty and style.
I couldn't help but think of the dozens of western restaurants and coffee shops on Central Street, and the aroma of coffee drifted across the street. It was a beautiful scene of warmth and romance.

Now, this coffee fragrance has passed through a hundred years and once again floated out of the old and new Ming...
After 60 years, the old Xinming Western Restaurant reopened at its original site (the east end of the first floor of Balas Food City, No.55 West Qidao Street). At the same time of reviving the environment and dishes, it also launched its own exclusive coffee-Harbin Street Coffee.

Turn it over and see a few short lines of text that evoke aftertaste and reverie:
Central Street, a long historical street, carries too many memories. It is no longer a person we recall, but the past, that era, that memory, that fragrant Chinese street that he/she represents.
He casually picked up the beautiful European-style long-mouthed pot and poured the hot trickle on the coffee powder. In an instant, he was surrounded by the aroma of coffee, and there was a faint jasmine fragrance floating out slowly. Shouldn't coffee be bitter? Why is this glass so light? Take a sip. It's amazing. There's both the joy of sipping tea with my dad when I was a child and the sadness of sitting alone in a cafe when I grew up, but they're all good parts of my memory.
This coffee is so special. The mellow taste is rich and long, jasmine fragrance and coffee fragrance perfectly blend the characteristics of oriental ancient charm and western fusion, and it seems to be a historical witness of Harbin's combination of Chinese and Western. This taste is unique and can only be found in such old shops.
Looking out of the window, a group of young people walk in the vicissitudes of the old street, continuing the memories of generations after generations...
Old and new Ming, a cup of coffee, remember a hundred years.
