Spend Time Cafe
The overall environment of the cafe is very good, truly a small space of tranquility in the bustling urban life. There are tables and plenty of green plants around the coffee bar, so there's no need to worry about being disturbed by surrounding vehicles and crowds. On sunny days, sitting outside the shop with friends or business partners to enjoy a cup of hot tea or coffee is a great pleasure. The coffee bar has two floors, similar in design to a garden villa, and if there are many people, you can choose to sit upstairs. The boss is quite nice, the service is good, and you can ask the boss if you have any questions. If you come to Changsha and like quiet cafes, you can choose to sit here, and you might just find me daydreaming in a corner.
Little Park
Since Changsha has become increasingly popular on social media, it gets extremely crowded during holidays. To avoid popular spots like Wuyi Square, this shop is located in the niche area of Mayuanwan Alley. Do you still remember Mayuanwan Alley? The mentioned Benluobo Liuyang Restaurant is also nearby. The shop itself is not very large and not street-facing, making it not an ideal spot. However, people keep coming to check in. Why? Because the decor has a strong Korean style, making it perfect for photos. If you're lucky, you might find an empty table to sit and chat over coffee with friends, which is very comfortable.
Dan's Coffee
The owner is a thoughtful person, looking very comfortable in the photos. The shop is located in an apartment with limited space, but it is quiet enough. It's perfect for a small gathering with friends, a lazy sunbathing session alone, or seriously reading a book. All of these are completely okay.
Why Not
A simple and fresh little literary style, with warm-toned lighting, very thoughtful decorations and hangings. The most important thing is the eight characters on the wall, which are true love. It's a great place for literary youth to check in. There's a small courtyard outside, and when it's not hot, sitting in the courtyard, having a cup of coffee and chatting with a few friends is a great choice. The store also has a clothing section and seems to offer handmade products. The coffee in the store is all hand-brewed. Four of us ordered three different single-origin coffees and one peach blossom brew, which tasted pretty good. Since we went there for lunch, we didn't order the main course but did order a portion of plum sweet potato fries, which were also good.
Star Corner Durian Mango Ice Pot Creator
Summer in Changsha is extremely hot. Although it rains occasionally, it's like cooking a dry pot, adding some water after boiling. Therefore, the body feels very stuffy, and every cell is sweating. On such a hot day, having a bite of a cool ice pot is simply a blissful treat! Strawberry ice cubes surrounded by durian and mango chunks look very appetizing! Hot water poured on the dry ice in the middle creates a mysterious mist. One delicious and visually appealing heat-relief treat after another! If you visit Taiping Old Street, don't miss out on the ice pot here. Besides the special ice pot, the shop also offers noodles and other main dishes.
