Beijing Hutong cafes are very chill and special. Walking in the hutongs, you can find small cafes hidden in old alleys. Each cafe has its own style – some are quiet, some are creative, some mix old Beijing with modern coffee culture. Sitting in a hutong cafe with a latte or hand brew is a great way to relax and watch local life. These cafes show another side of Beijing, not only the big landmarks but also the daily life in the hutongs. If you want to explore Beijing deeper, visiting hutong cafes is a must！
