The awakening coffee contains the inner place, the attention to the deep soul and the pursuit at the spiritual level.

Touch woman, wake up

A small courtyard transformed by a courtyard.

"it should be said that the opening of wake-up coffee was an opportunity many years ago." Zhao Zhao, the owner of awakening coffee in Beijing, told me this. Zhao Zhao is a Qingdao girl with big eyes, bright and beautiful. Zhao Zhao and her partner Mu Mu became friends in 2005. Mu Mu has always been a freelancer, doing skin care, clothes and jewelry, while Zhao Zhao is a veteran media person. opening a cafe has always been their dream.

There is not a colorful Trojan horse in a girl's dream.

At first, "Awakening" was the name of wooden skin care products. Later, she opened a coffee shop of the same name in Tianhe District of Guangzhou and gained a good reputation there. So Zhao Zhao thought, why not extend the brand that both people love? The sisters began to choose a place in Beijing and decided to make their dreams come true.

Awakening represents the shopkeeper's love for a real life, his concern for a deep soul and his pursuit at the spiritual level. They hope that awakening is a place where they can hold their hearts.

Fresh green plants give people the feeling of being full of oxygen.

It took more than two months to choose the location of the store. Zhao Zhao is usually very busy at work, so he can only follow the intermediary to see the house at the end of his work and on weekends. However, it is also a coincidence that Zhao and Mu Mu finally found the current location of the store. Zhao and Mu Mu went to sweep the street by themselves. As a result, I saw a small advertisement for rental housing posted. In the hutong to the south of Yonghegong Lamasery, there are no commercially renovated courtyards, and this building, which retains the old Beijing style, immediately hit Zhao Zhao and Mu Mu.

"at that time, I thought it was all providence." Zhao Zhao said to me with a smile.

Retro decorations can be seen in every corner of the awakening.

Carefully create the spiritual space

The later decoration work was four months longer than expected, because the shopkeeper really put a lot of effort into it, and in September of that year, the decoration was only half completed. When choosing the interior decoration, the shopkeeper took a fancy to an American antique lamp on ebay. The American seller felt that transportation was too troublesome to sell. Under the efforts of the shopkeeper, the antique lamp arrived on the day that the other half of the coffee shop finished decorating after four months of shipping. At the moment of opening the package, there was no damage and it was amazing. Zhao Zhao said she thought it was worth the wait, so now this antique lamp can be said to be the treasure of the town shop of awakening coffee.

In fact, many of the decorations in the shop were picked up by the shopkeeper in the antique market and flea market during the trip, reflecting the romantic girlish feelings of the two shopkeepers. Each decoration is the owner's good intentions, tableware is also changed every six months, most of them are Japanese and American brands.

Every antique doll in the cupboard is the shopkeeper's favorite.

Early in the morning and dusk, wake up to the special milk tea in the coffee

A drink about awakening coffee. Zhao Zhao said that in fact, the most distinctive drink is milk tea. The awakening in Guangzhou was chosen as the best coffee shop for milk tea in Guangzhou at first. Zhao Zhao said that the ingredients of awakening milk tea are all organic plant herbal tea from Canada, and are supplied exclusively by suppliers, among which marigold milk tea and organic blueberry milk tea are very popular. The manager of Awakening Coffee has been engaged in the development of milk tea formula for many years, helping shopkeepers develop more flavors of milk tea. "early morning" and "dusk" are inspired by shopkeepers when they travel in Thailand, "early morning" uses Thai green tea, and "dusk" chooses more full-bodied black tea.

Awakening coffee is the choice of Italian illy coffee beans, to ensure the quality of coffee, organic, pure natural, less added.

A divine coffee shop

Awakening Coffee has been in operation for three years. Under the background of the economic recession, benign operators rely entirely on the reputation of the guests, without any hype and water army, and wake up to get 4.5 stars on Dianping. Dianping as a special case to analyze, but also two consecutive years elected Dianping five-star merchants, known as the "god-like coffee shop."

The second floor of awakening is a small German-style train. Zhao Zhao hopes that guests will feel differently every time they come to wake up.

In fact, many artists often come to patronize, such as Tang Wei, Dong Xuan, and nursery rhymes. Jing Beran woke up and shot a group of blockbusters and drank five cups of American coffee on the same day after the end of "Hua Shao". But the shopkeeper doesn't like to use celebrity hype because she wants every awakened guest to enjoy a quiet time undisturbed.
