A local’s guide to best of CaojiaduExpat rendezvous

Caojiadu is one of the most popular communities for expats to live in Jing’an, especially the areas around Jiaozhou, Wuding, Xinzha and Yanping roads.

Fancy bars, Instagrammable cafes and stores alike jazz up the community and make expats feel at home. Of them, coffee could be a highlight.

Currently, more than 30 coffee shops have opened in the community, including chains such as Starbucks, M Stand and Wagas, as well as independent brands like Neighbors Coffee, Brick Lane and Dream Café.

A coffee map guiding you to discover local coffee shops has been released.

The community initiated its own coffee festival last year with the launch of “Caojiadu specialty coffee drink” as it aims to make the subdistrict a new coffee culture landmark in the city.

This month, in the second year of the local coffee festival, a new green concept was integrated into the festival and special “green” litter bins designed to recycle used coffee cups were released. Currently, you can find them in Jing’an Now Space, an Instagrammable creative park known for a building with sheer white facades and walls; and Nuoan 1919, an office cluster renovated from a former watch factory.

Coffee grounds generated by local coffee shops would also be collected and processed to be used to feed earthworms and for plants.
