Nanchang’s Nine-Floor Café Where You Can Watch Movies

If you’ve ever wandered the malls of Nanchang and wished for a quiet place to unwind with friends—somewhere with great coffee, good food, and maybe even a movie—this spot has you covered. Tucked away on the ninth floor of a downtown office building, this compact café offers more than just caffeine: it’s a carefully designed retreat with nostalgic charm, elevated snacks, and a unique vibe you won’t find in chain cafés.

In short: Located on the ninth floor of Nanchang’s Wanda Plaza A5 office building, ‘Old Classmates Café’ is a 60-square-meter, two-level space with hand-brewed coffee, freshly made waffles, evening movies, and a design split smartly into a ground floor and mezzanine for intimate hangs.

What Makes This Ninth-Floor Café Different?

Most cafés stick to the basics: coffee, seating, maybe some pastries. But Old Classmates Café goes further. Despite its small size—just over 60 square meters—it features a clever split-level layout. The lower level has a few tables seating 7–8 people total, ideal for casual chats. Above that, the mezzanine offers a cosier, more elevated vibe, where you can sip coffee, nibble sweets, and look out over the city. The entire space is lit with soft, slightly magical lighting that adds to the warm, welcoming feel.

Why It’s a Great Spot for Friends & Nostalgia

The café’s name, ‘Old Classmates,’ isn’t just for show. It was opened by a former soldier who understands the value of shared moments—whether among school friends, veterans, or old teammates. That personal touch carries through in everything: the coffee is brewed fresh, using beans sourced from Taiwan, known for their rich, bold profiles. The owner also prepares all the drinks and waffles himself. Whether you’re here for a waffle, a flat white, or just to catch up, the atmosphere encourages real conversation.

What to Order & What You’ll Get

This is not a franchise. Every cup of coffee is hand-brewed to order, using Taiwanese beans that deliver a strong, aromatic cup—think bold, slightly sweet profiles with a smooth finish. The menu also includes a variety of milk teas. For food, go for the owner-made waffles and toast. The waffles are especially popular, freshly prepared and served warm. The coffee strikes a balance between bitter and sweet, often described as delivering a ‘bitter-to-sweet’ finish that mirrors the satisfaction of ‘hard work paying off.’
