A small courtyard cafe tucked into one of the quieter lanes in the old town's eastern quarter. They serve single-origin Yunnan coffee — grown in the Pu'er and Xishuangbanna regions — prepared as pour-over or espresso. The beans are better than anything you will find in the tourist-facing cafes on the main streets. Order a flat white and sit in the stone courtyard; it is one of the more civilised hours you can spend in Lijiang. Closes by early evening.
