BAKERY / PASTRY
1. 紐約貝果博物館 New York Bagelous Museum
Location: 上海市 新天地馬當路245號 新天地時尚購物中心2期一層L111鋪位
If there is something that I wish could be available in Singapore, then it would be the New York Bagelous Museum! It is a Korean-style bagel café in Shanghai and the queue was really long during our weekday visit.
❤ 香葱韭菜芝士贝果 Chives and Leeks Cheese Bagel (38元)
❤ 黑松露无花果火腿贝果 Black Truffle Fig-ham Bagel (48元)
We initially thought we went for the aesthetics, but ended up enjoying the bagels so much. I couldn't decide which was better, because both tasted equally great and flavourful with generous fillings in it.
2. 百丘 Pain Chaud
Location: Multiple branches
❤ 开心果泡芙 Pistachio Choux @ 38元
❤ Croissant @ 16元
Pain Chaud is a French Artisan Bakery (上海法式手工面包店) which is the more popular option among the expats and tourists. We heard that the pistachio choux here is really good so we were here to try and true indeed, it did not disappoint. The choux was airy soft while the pistachio filling was so intense in flavour. Love it!
3. Drunk Baker
Location: Multiple branches
❤ 墨西哥辣椒萨拉米贝果 Jalapeno Salami Bagel (16元)
❤ 抹茶手撕面包 Matcha Bread + 热巧克力 Hot chocolate (50元)
Drunk Baker looks like an unassuming, tiny neighborhood bakery but we realised there are so many Drunk Baker outlets in Shanghai city. Made with traditional French baking philosophy, the bagel and matcha bread were equally delicious and fueled our morning with positive vibes. An ideal spot to spend a quiet, relaxing morning.
COFFEE
4. 方塊咖啡 Coffee Cube x Merakicoffee
Location: 上海市 浦东新区陆家嘴街道银城中路242号
Coffee options are aplenty in Shanghai. We love this one located in the city centre, with breezy outdoor seating amidst the shades of ginkgo leaves (銀杏樹群). Sipping on a cup of Starry Osmanthus Latte (繁星桂花拿铁 - 35元) is probably the best escape from the hustles and bustles of the city.
5. 星巴克臻选•上海烘焙工坊 Shanghai Starbucks Roastery
Location: 上海市 静安區南京西路789號
But when it comes to coffee specialist, the Shanghai Starbucks Roastery is a must-visit as it is one of the largest Starbucks roasteries, spanning a whopping 30,000 sqft area. The one I have been in Tokyo's Meguro City is slightly bigger (32,000 sqft) but the offerings are slightly different here.
Apart from the roasting facility and hand-crafted coffee bars, it also serves nitro draft lattes and alcoholic drinks.
❤ CHEMEX手冲烘焙工坊典藏拼配 - 45g for 500ml (86元)
❤ 拿铁冷 RSTY-烘焙工坊典藏拼配 -20g (46元)
Here we get to try the outlet-exclusive Starbucks Roastery-inspired Microblend, a small-lot, high-quality coffee unique to Shanghai City itself. It is blended and roasted onsite, and then hand-brewed in our preferred Chemex method. I enjoyed the complexity of caramel sweetness, citrusy and floral notes.
It is a perfect spot for coffee connoisseurs to immerse themselves
in the sights, sounds and aromas of coffee!
6. Birdie Cup Coffee
Location: 上海市 徐汇区武康路105号 (武康路店)
Along Wukang Road, we had a quick pit stop at this cute little coffee joint. The café scene here is very vibrant, but this cute birdie cup attracted me with the seasonal Osmanthus Longan Latte (初桂龙眼拿铁 - 26元) - something sweet and soothing to the mind and soul. A great pick-me-up of the day!
7. 52樓朵雲書院 Duoyun Books
Location: 上海市 浦东新区银城中路501号上海中心大厦52楼
❤ 那朵云 (酸奶芝士慕斯) Yogurt Cheese Mousse (52元)
❤ 燕麦拿铁 Oat Latte (48元)
Located on Level 52 of the Shanghai Tower, this café garnered the attention of the public because of its magnificent view of the whole Huangpu including the Oriental Pearl Tower. The queue was tremendously long, and there was a minimum spend of RMB 42 per pax.
Honestly, the crowd was too much to handle, and the food / beverages were not great. Definitely not worth the hype and not recommended for the view as it was quite obstructed by the weather condition.
GELATO
8. Fontaine
Location: 上海市 徐汇区武康路98号 (武康路店)
Found my new favourite gelato in town! It was a Yamazaki Whisky Gelato (山崎威士忌 - 49元) with a slight alcohol content of 2.3%. Made of Yamazaki whisky, vanilla and milk, the gelato actually felt refreshing, bright and aromatic on the palate, without being too potent on the alcohol flavour.
9. Corner Cone Gelato 酷矿手作霜淇淋
Location: 上海市 徐汇区 淮海中路1852号武康大楼底楼 (武康路店)
Stumbled upon another cute gelato shop in Wukang Road and thought the Tinkerbell Gelato (38元) was pretty cute! It was made of frozen yoghurt, so the flavour was acceptable for me. They have different designs / characters in different seasons, so keep an eye on the latest menu and enjoy the surprise.
COCKTAIL
10. 1989 Bar
Location: 上海市 黄浦区福建中路193号11楼 (人民广场店)
❤ 王母划的银河 The Queen Mother Cuts the Galaxy (98元)
Alcohol 20% - 罗勒皮斯科，都灵印象味美思，君度橙皮油糖，柑橘，新鲜凤梨汁
❤ 亢奋 Euphoria (108元)
Alcohol 35% - 朗姆酒，菠萝，火龙肉桂威士忌，甜椒金色法兰姆，
芒果，新鲜青柠汁，橙味苦精
What completes our trip to Shanghai is a cocktail night at the bar. Not the best cocktail I ever tried, but it was the companion and conversation that mattered the most. I enjoyed my experience here thus far.
Thank you Shanghai for the exciting foodie adventure! ❤
Overall, our 5D4N Shanghai food adventure has concluded with a very bright and happy note. The trip has been filled with beautiful sights, delicious food, and unforgettable memories. Looking forward to seeing the beauty of China again!
