[CLOSED] When in Shanghai: Seesaw Coffee @ Yuyuan Road – Local Coffee Chain Set in an Instagram Worthy Courtyard

Leave a comment

Update June 2020: SeeSaw Coffee’s Yuyuan Road outlet has closed. 

I’m back from a quick getaway to Shanghai, China to catch a much needed break, spend time with family, and discover more food spots in another corner of the world!

While global coffee chains like Starbucks and Costa Coffee are incredibly popular and far reaching (with outlets even showing up in the likes of Zhujiajiao Watertown 朱家角 and Yu Garden豫园), that’s not to say local chains are not catching up, either. One name that popped up quite a few times during my trip research was Seesaw Coffee on Yuyuan Road, a popular spot with a hipster vibe, thanks to its location in the ground level of Jing’An Design Centre.

Update 19 Jan 2025: Harritts Donuts has closed.

Regulars to Clarke Quay may have noticed the addition of a cozy takeaway kiosk selling puffy looking donuts on Havelock Road. Unlike other Japanese bakeries that have opened to much fanfare in downtown Singapore, Haritts Donuts & Coffee made its Singapore debut in May, in a rather quiet, understated manner – much like its pioneer shop in Tokyo, Japan.
