A good cup of specialty coffee has little to do with the store environment, on the contrary, those cafes with flashy decorations may not focus on brewing a good cup of coffee. Nanfeng Coffee has no eye-catching façade and no sense of space interior design, but its sincere production makes us not hesitate to put it in the second place of Hangzhou boutique café.
Unlike Zidong Woxi, who hides in the ancient streets and alleys of Hangzhou, Nanfeng Coffee chooses to hide in an office building. Nanfeng Coffee opened in 2015, the store is located in Room 1005, Block 2, Hangzhou Doujin Essence Building, and the room number indicates that it is not the first floor but the tenth floor, which is a typical store-in-the-building. When asked about opening a café in the middle of the building, the shopkeeper replied that instead of spending too much money on rent or location selection, it is better to invest the remaining funds in the coffee itself. Years of operation have also proved that customers who like Nanfeng Coffee never care what kind of place this store is opened.
The operator of Nanfeng Coffee studied at the famous Mingqian Coffee Academy in Shanghai, and obtained various barista and roaster qualification certifications. In order to ensure the production of each cup of coffee, the freshness of the roasted finished beans will be maintained for 10 to 15 days, and the beans beyond the expiration date will not be available for customers to drink. In addition to buying Nanfeng's self-roasted beans, you can also grind beans and make hanging ear coffee pods according to customer needs. In the summer, you can also enjoy the owner's homemade iced coffee, which is made with the lively and bright flavor of Yirgacheffe and fermented for several hours, so it is well worth a try.
Nanfeng's espresso is made using a handmade Kees Speedster coffee machine from the Netherlands. This coffee machine has an extremely stable operating state and precise temperature control, with a mini shape, a single head, and a cost of up to 80,000 yuan, which is regarded as the "Bentley" of coffee machines. Coffee machine enthusiasts may wish to try the Espresso made by this machine.
Nanfeng Coffee is also a typical mom-and-pop shop, where the man is in charge of making coffee and the hostess is in charge of making desserts. The homemade desserts made by the hostess of the south wind are quite popular, and the popularity is no less than that of coffee. The ingredients for the dessert come from the fresh fruits and vegetables of the season, and they are baked on the same day, and the taste that is not sweet or greasy has been favored by many diners. If it is sold out, as long as the customer is willing to wait patiently, the store will try to make it as fresh as possible.
Nanfeng Coffee is closed from time to time, and the owner may prepare ingredients for upcoming small orders, may go to various places to take pictures, and may also open more café doors to taste coffee.
