Brew a blue bottle of coffee

California-based Blue Bottle Coffee has opened its first store on the Chinese mainland in Jing’an, housed in a historical building near Suzhou Creek.

Yutong Café, as its name suggests, is in the former dormitories of Shanghai Yutong Flour Mill built in 1926. Final renovations were completed in 2019.

It is the latest addition to the company’s global network of 102 cafes, as well as the latest international brand vying for a piece of the booming local coffee market.

“China is a strategic market for Blue Bottle Coffee and one where we see a long future for ourselves,” said CEO Karl Strovink. All coffees are roasted in small batches at the Blue Bottle Coffee Shanghai Pengpu Roastery.

There is also a special food menu. The “Yutong Dessert Set” has been designed exclusively for the new store. It includes traditional Shanghai desserts – sticky rice cake, green bean cake and fried dough twist.
