Hip counter-top hangout for perfectly patterned coffee and fab cookies. After dark, a magic wand gets waved and the cafe transforms, Cinderella-style, into a modish cocktail bar specialising in boutique gins.
The cafe borders a stylishly renovated hutong district utterly devoid of human habitation at the time of research, but for which the government clearly has grand designs. State-run gentrification? Only in Beijing.
