Fong Da Cafe

You can tell the long history of Fong Da Café simply by its nostalgic appearance. Having been pleasing local coffee connoisseurs since 1956, Fong Da Café serves up the seductively strong, rich siphon coffee (but not for everyone) as well as homemade desserts that inspire loyalty.

Several glass jars filled with different sorts of snacks are placed right by the entrance, which look tempting enough. From mung bean cakes, walnut cookies to chewy biscuits made with lard and abalone-shaped pastries, every packaged traditional dessert has its own avid followers. But the crispy walnut cookies perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness are no doubt the most sought-after. The extensive menu also include light meals, cakes and ice cream — there is something for everyone. Fong Da Café definitely makes the not-to-be-missed list of coffee houses in Ximending.
