Silence Coffee has one small requests for patrons: Guests should refrain from talking while they are enjoying their coffee and pastries.
Settled on Beixinqiao Toutiao (between Beixinqiao and Yonghegong), Silence Coffee not only aims to provide a respite and refuge for noise-weary Beijingers but also to raise awareness about deafness. Despite being deaf since childhood, co-proprietor Jackie is a wonderful host, creating gorgeous and delicious coffee concoctions.
For those feeling a bit peckish, co-proprietor Julia bakes scrumptious cakes including tiramisu and a fruit cake which far surpassed the usual stigma associated with the name. Baked items change frequently with items such as Red Velvet Cake and Vanilla Cake tempting return visits. The mini-cookie which came with my Rooibos Tea was also a delicious bonus and bottled beer from Brew Dog rounds out the simple, but well-constructed, drinks menu.
