Xi Bei Coffee (惜杯咖啡) — A Riverside Retreat for Coffee Lovers in Suzhou

Just a 3-minute walk from Beisita Metro Station, on the way to Suzhou’s historic town, lies Xi Bei Coffee (惜杯咖啡) — a charming two-story café that celebrates the beauty of coffee and cups from around the world. The front opens to the road, but the real magic happens at the back — where you can sip your drink while overlooking the serene riverside. We tried their iced latte, smooth and creamy to the last sip. The standout was the Hawthorn Tree, an ice drip coffee blended with hawthorn juice and topped with fresh hawthorn — tart, refreshing, and unique. To end on a sweet note, we had the affogato, served with perfectly shaped vanilla ice cream and a shot of espresso — pure delight. It’s the kind of place where artful coffee meets scenic tranquility — the perfect pause in Suzhou. #cherryblossom25 #suzhou #chinatrip #travel
