Brunch lovers in Beijing will be familiar with Green Cow Coffee. This market has dominated Beijing's bagel market since 1996 and has been called "the brunch restaurant with the best bagel in Beijing" by many foodies.
As early as 1996, Mrs. Shan founded "Mrs. Shan Bakery" in Beijing, focusing on bagel bread and Western-style snacks, and was the first bakery to supply bagel in Beijing's foreign-related supermarkets. In 2004, after the couple opened their own restaurant in Shunyi, in order to ensure the high quality of the ingredients, they rented 80 acres of land to start an organic farm, until today, all the vegetables in the restaurant come from the farm they plant, and some meat foods such as cattle, pigs, and chickens also come from the farm. The concept of organic, healthy food combined with authentic and delicious bagel bread has not only made Green Cow Coffee popular at Brunch Restaurant in Beijing, but also attracted many foreign diners to try it.
Bagels look similar to doughnuts in appearance, but they are very different in taste. Donuts are made from fluffy bread, while bagels, although New York's most iconic food, were originally derived from Jewish dough and are made from fermented dough boiled and baked, making them more chewy than doughnuts.
Green Cow Coffee has more options for bagels, generally the bagel and ingredients are separated from a single point, and the production method used is also the most common way for foreigners to eat: cut a bagel into two rings horizontally, and then add various accessories and sauces in the middle. Green Cow's bagel is hard and crisp on the outside and flexible on the inside, and each sauce it goes with also has its own unique flavor, among which the cream cheese sauce that is most praised by diners has a super milky flavor, so don't miss it if you love bagels. In addition to the signature bagels, Green Cow's other foods are mixed and may have a certain risk of lightning strikes, so we recommend that you give priority to bagel foods when ordering.
Green Cow Coffee is located in the third neighborhood of Jiuxianqiao, surrounded by a residential vegetable market, the environment is relatively crowded and noisy, and the coffee store logo is not conspicuous enough, and friends who go there may need to carefully identify a large green iron gate to find it. However, once you enter the door, the coffee shop is warmly furnished, and you can smell the strong aroma of coffee and toast as soon as you enter the door, which will make you appetize. The owner also hung two video TVs on the wall behind the cash register to show customers what was going on on the farm in real time, so that their organic and healthy food was not for nothing. Green Bull Coffee's bagel is sold throughout the day, but if it is a weekend or holiday, friends who want to try it can try it in the morning to avoid being disappointed. Also, because the area around the café is crowded, it is not recommended to go by car.
