Mellower Coffee

True to its name, this laid back café features softer than average lighting, darker hues than many of its competitors, and approachable choices like chai lattes rather than zeroing in on fancy imports exclusively.

However, this café is no slouch when it comes to coffee varieties from far-flung locales. In fact, they have everything from Colombian, Kenyan Yunnanese, Mandheling, and more. It’s a specialty menu rivaling just about any other cafe’s in town, and their price range (RMB 48-58 mostly), along with a lack of needy emphasis on those higher-end options, make Mellower a refreshing alternative to plenty of its competitors.
