continues this short trip to Shanghai today. After half a year, everything here is as it was originally. I don’t feel that it has experienced that "extraordinary period" and is walking on various old streets in Shanghai. This is my deep expression of love, because everything in front of me is full of endless intimacy, which makes people always unable to resist the scene that is close to your heart and can bring you a faint tenderness. Just as I always feel that the shops on both sides of these small streets and the French sycamore are simply beautiful combinations. When you embellish it, you can always see the beauty. When you freeze the moment, I have beauty.
Today I want to talk to you about Poker Coffee, located at , No. 340, Xiangyang South Road, Shanghai. What do you think of when you see this name? Poker is right? In fact, cards always have a natural god-like meaning. You always feel that something is foreshadowed behind it. Maybe there was a secret gift before the answer was revealed. I don’t know why this cafe was called this name, but it really aroused my curiosity. I hope to explore it and see what the answer is.
Looking at it from the opposite side of the street, even on a sunny morning, you can still see the light box of Poker Coffee on the door from a distance, with yellow lights emitted. Looking at the barista in the store, the scene at that moment was really warm enough. I quickly walked into the store. It was also a small shop with "sparrows are small and all the organs". The bar and the guest seat are opposite the side, and the decks are lined up against the wall, giving people a space to take a break and chat with the barista. I have always liked this kind of decks facing the bar, fully demonstrating the core concept of the cafe being a communication space.
A small store actually has a bathroom. This is the standard configuration of the Supreme Cafe Service. Everything in the store is very family-friendly. Even in this small space that looks a bit cramped, you can get a sense of ease and comfort. The menu in the store is named after cards, and there are also special physical cards next to the menu. There are four SOEs and two Italian style combinations. For me, I am more interested in the Italian style combination beans that are always in the store. I choose to use the rich, dark and traditional Italian style combination beans to create a cup of ice American. To be honest, this combination of Colombia + Mantening + Jega can basically know the existence of Mantening, and it must be much solid and mellow. If nothing unexpected happens, this cup of ice American style is really full of thick and dark and clever, and it is solid and does not give you a trace of tact. It is just that it tells you what the coffee flavor is. I instantly woke up.
Another combination of Colombia + Ethiopia + Yunnan will look more refreshing. Citrus is indeed sour and rich in fruits. Washed Colombia brings a refreshing feeling. Ethiopia balances sweetness and acidity. As for Yunnan, it will naturally bring back the mellowness and overall body feel. The tail is relatively clean, which is better than the traditional combination.
The barista asked me how I thought the coffee was drinking, and I expressed that the mixing of Mantening was really too heavy for me. The other party said that there are more foreign customers nearby and they like thicker tastes. I saw that there are Sicon in the store. Well, this combination is indeed very good. Finally, I got the coffee made from the dine-in cup, which made me quite happy (of course, I tried my best to hope that the barista would produce it with the dine-in cup, haha).
Poker store gives me the feeling that it is a choice between freedom and finding the part you like. Looking back, I met an American girl in a shop in Linping before. When I talked, I like Shanghai very much because it is free enough. The American girl said she doesn’t like Shanghai because it’s too Western, hahahahaha. In fact, freedom is accompanied by a sense of alienation, and maintaining the intersection of independence is the best balance for everyone to be safe. Just focus on what you like. In Shanghai, why do you see things that make me love?
