Oldie but Goodie is a monthly column where we feature noteworthy restaurants, cafes or bars that have been open at least six months and are worth a try.
A minimalist, NYC-esque coffee shop with elements of European and Japanese decor, Lock Chuck Coffee rocks urban chic without feeling cliche. Beans are sourced from Irving Farm Coffee Roasters in New York City, and feature a blend of three origins for a medium yet satisfying brew. There’s a double shot in every cup because, well, they know coffee snobs.
Situated on a nondescript lane outside of Ouzhuang Metro Station, Lock Chuck relocated this past February after running a pop-up shop for almost a year near Dongshankou.
It earns a place in our ‘Oldie but Goodie' column for its friendly and knowledgeable baristas, flawless, full-bodied coffee and refreshingly fast Wi-Fi connection. Chuck’s collection of vinyl records and design periodicals isn’t too shabby either.
If you go, try a classic latte (RMB36), single-origin drip (RMB45) or the luxurious Japanese milk tea (RMB36).
