Great place to work

Alba is a worthy successor to its namesake cafe on Nan Luogu Xiang. The coffee is well-made; the pasta is quite good; the staff is friendly. The homemade ginger ale is outstanding -- properly tart and tangy, and just the thing if you've had too many shots of espresso. The one possible drawback for those who do their freelancing from cafes is that the cafe's wi-fi network doesn't extend to the roof deck - but if you can handle that, Alba makes for a great place to spend an afternoon working.
