Aunn Cafe & Co.

Aunn Café & Co. sits directly across from Jing'an Temple on Nanjing Xi Lu, opened by Luo Yang, the same local coffee figure behind Seesaw. The two floor space trades small and cozy for scale, white walls, polished concrete, and round tables built for laptops and long stays rather than a quick stand up espresso.

Coffee comes from Little Bean, a Pudong roaster, using green beans sourced through Nordic Approach, and the menu keeps to a tight list: espresso drinks, cold brew, and what the shop calls naked coffee, filter brewed and served without embellishment. Pastries and sandwiches round out the counter, and the cork wrapped takeaway cups have become something of a signature, recognizable on the street outside the temple gates.
