Mountain Mover Cafe is the first shop of a coffee brand built around beans from Yunnan, China, six minutes' walk from Ryogoku Station. Its Shanghai born owner is a barista and Q Grader who selects the beans himself and visits the growing regions.

Yunnan coffee is the whole focus here, served as filter and espresso drinks in a small neighbourhood room, with homemade sweets inspired by Yunnan desserts alongside.
