Ningbo

Heralded as the best bakery in Ningbo, Mon Epoque offers a truly varied selection of freshly baked bread and pastries. You'd be hard-pressed to find an establishment that can compete. Light meals like sandwiches and salads are also served.

It is hard to miss Ancient Coffee when you enter the Laowaitan Area. The owner of Ancient Coffee is one of the first professional coffee makers in China. The coffee shop is equipped with a Giesen roasting machine that allows them to roast their own coffee beans. Their signature coffee is Hartmann Black Winey which is imported from Panama.

Hug Coffee shares the same owner as Ancient Coffee, which can be seen as all but a guarantee of high quality. This café is located in the Drum Tower commercial street and has only several seats, but they do offer great coffee such as flat white, cold brew Kenyan pour over, and more.

Honeywood Cafe is simple and cosy, and will make you feel like you're visiting a friend. They have both professional equipment and professional coffee makers from Shanghai, and their milk tea is a must-try.
