5) Ocean Grounds

Carefully crafted drinks served by highly knowledgeable owners and relatively steep prices accurately reflect the high level of attention paid to all things coffee at this U Town resident. For a bathroom break from your decadent beverage, head to the nearby public mall restroom. Despite its rich appearance, you may still need to bring your own toilet paper along for a trip to these squatting style toilets.

Add: 3/F, U-Town, 2 Sanfeng Beili, Chaoyangmenwai Dajie, Chaoyang District, Beijing

地址:北京市朝阳区朝阳门外大街三丰北里2号悠唐生活广场3层

Tel: 010 8561 0961

Opening hours: 10:00-22:00

6) Beiluo Bread Bar

Don't look for a bathroom inside of this cool fresh-made pasta/sandwiches and coffee joint. Take a short trip just around the corner to the hutong bathroom. Unlike some hutong restrooms, these do have stalls and doors. And of course squatting toilets, which may or may not be accompanied by soap and water in the sink. Extremely convenient to the café, though not the best of facilities.

Add: 70A Beiluogu Xiang, Dongcheng District, Beijing

地址:北京市东城区北锣鼓巷甲70号(近南锣鼓巷)

Tel: 010 8408 3069

Opening hours: 10:00-24:00, Mon-Sun

7) A Corner Café

This is a lovely, quiet spot with welcoming staff and comfortable environment but also necessitates a trip to the hutong's bathroom. The restroom is quite close but lacks stalls, paper, or sink. Corner Cafe does offer a sink with soap and paper towels for guests coming back from the restroom.

Add: 18-1, 277 Dongzhimen Nei, Beixinqiao Toutiao Nei, Dongcheng District, Beijing (near Exit B of Beixinqiao subway station)

地址:北京市东城区东直门内277号1楼18号,北新桥头条内(近北新桥地铁B出口)

Tel: 010 6406 0398

Opening hours: 11:00-22:00
