Mifan/Mafan is our feature where we review restaurants in 100 words or less. This time, hidden third-wave coffee joint Berry Beans


To get to Berry Beans, you must first take flights of escalators through Sanlitun's depressing 3.3 Mall. Then you need to enter a hipster barber shop. And then you have to try your best not to spend 5,000 kuai on rad clothing at Mega Vintage. But after all that, you arrive at third-wave coffee spot Berry Beans.

Baristas here take their brewing seriously. When we order an iced coffee, they spend a solid five minutes crafting it. Single-origin beans are for sale, obvs. There's also a counter full of beautiful desserts.

True to a cafe next to Mega Vintage, decor is, well, vintage. We dig it.

Overall, the coffee is killer and the hidden location is actually pretty dope. 

Mifan or Mafan? Mifan.
