Possibly one of the best cafes in Beijing. To reiterate comments already here, everything at Sequoia is fresh. The muffins are a steal at RMB5, they taste homemade unlike the mass produced ones offered at Starbucks, Costa, even Comptoirs, for 3x the price. Same goes for their sandwiches. Their americanos are the best in the city.

The place is a quiet space though a bit hard to find. From the north entrance of the Jianguomen Dip. Residence they are in the first building on your left, there are no signs outside the door.
