Nanyuan Yichi Garden

☕Qingxi Old Street | Nanyuan Yichi Garden, enjoy a relaxing afternoon tea✨ 📍Location: Nanyuan Store, Parking Lot 1, Qingxi Old Street, Fengxian, Shanghai 💕I came to Qingxi Old Street today and accidentally found this beautiful Nanyuan Yichi Garden coffee shop. It's a hidden gem, and I must share it with you! Environment • Ancient garden: The coffee shop is located in Nanyuan, the earliest private garden in Fengxian, with a history of more than 700 years. Stepping into it, you feel like you have traveled back in time. Pavilions, flower beds, fish ponds, and Huizhou-style buildings on both sides, with simple wooden windows and tiled roofs, all exude the charm of a Jiangnan water town. • Surrounded by greenery: The store is surrounded by greenery everywhere, whether in the corners, by the walls, or in the stairwells, full of vitality, as if you are in a small forest. The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, creating a beautiful play of light and shadow. • Space layout: The store has two floors of dining areas, with a spacious and bright atrium, a quiet and secluded backyard, and a unique view in the back garden. It's really relaxing to have afternoon tea here. Dishes • Coffee drinks: They have a wide variety of coffee, and you must try their signature Lakeside Coffee. It's a blend of three coffee beans: Colombian Supremo, Brazilian Cerrado, and Ethiopian Sidamo, roasted to a medium-dark level. The coffee is rich and aromatic, with a hint of minty coolness in the milk foam, and a lingering sweetness from tangerine peel and fat sea, like a breeze by the lake. • Western light meals: The garden filet steak is tender and juicy, paired with black pepper sauce, it's delicious; the garden heavy cheese pizza is also a must-order, with a tomato soup base, piled with thick cheese, basil leaves, and tomatoes, baked to a crispy crust, with a rich and salty cheese flavor. • Specialty desserts: The handmade caramel pumpkin heavy cheese cake has a crispy but not hard caramel, with a perfect balance of sweetness, burnt aroma, and slight bitterness. The cheese is rich, with a hint of pumpkin sweetness, giving you a full sense of happiness with every bite. • Healthy salad: The quinoa salad dressing is sweet and sour, refreshing, not the traditional oil and vinegar dressing, very appetizing and not greasy. The quinoa and vegetables inside are fresh, nutritious, and healthy. Here, enjoying delicious afternoon tea and feeling the unique charm of Jiangnan gardens, time seems to slow down. Sisters, come to Nanyuan Yichi Garden and spend your relaxing time!💕
