Don't talk to me until I've read Capital Caff: Your guide to the latest in coffee happenings around Beijing.

Three words: People need coffee! You've probably already got your favorites spot but everyone can use a refreshing new spot from time to time. We’ve got you covered with these new spots around town places to jumpstart your coffee-tasting adventure!

Big Small Coffee opens a wine bar

Known for mixing coffee and beer in their locations around town, Big Small has taken a twist toward wine with their new coffee and wine bar in the Central Park plaza in the CBD. It's no typical wine bar though, as the single communal table will have you chatting up with strangers whether you're there for an Ethiopian pour-over coffee and a slice of baguette in the afternoon or for a glass (or bottle!) of their iconic and musky orange wine by night.

Unique Coffee offers sunshine and a cuppa

What’s so unique about Unique Coffee? Well, the place adopts an industrial style that will certainly remind you of all that sunshine and fresh greens in Sanya. Whether you like your Australian flat white or iced latte, their coffee will delight you with its thick texture of milk and a touch of nuts.

WakeMeUpCoffee will, uh, wake you up

This hidden coffee shop within Wudaoying Hutong is a pleasant surprise. Don’t forget to try their Americano mixed with Beibingyang! The rich flavor of the citrus balanced with coffee makes for a drink that tastes far more expensive than its price tag.
