Bagel sandwiches, very nice brewed coffee, and a relaxing environment. I don't think there's anything else like this in Beijing.

The set meals have sandwiches with some nice combinations and ingredients, like feta and pine nuts, salmon and cream cheese, and gobo root. I'd never had gobo root but it's quite tasty, seems like it's probably pretty healthy, too.

There's wifi, obviously, and nice music so it's a good spot to get some work done. Friendly fuwuyuan, and it seems this rubs off on the customers because people seem to be in a much better mood at this cafe than you usually experience in Beijing.

Note that they're not open late, and my one criticism is that they occasionally run out of bagels later in the day. Sure it's better for the environment not to be throwing out excess bagels each day, but it can be a bit of a letdown when you come in craving a bagel.

The cafe is tucked away in Chaowai Soho, a little hard to find the first time, but once you do find it you'll keep coming back. This place not only has the best bagels I've had in Beijing (duh) but also has a pleasing environment, so I'd rate it the best overall cafe experience as well.
