Yihui Coffee is a spacious, study-friendly cafe specializing in espresso and pour-over coffee. The menu is small but well curated, featuring drinks like the Fist Bump, espresso tonic, cloudy latte, Bumble Bee, and Miso White. Coffee is a highlight, with impressive options including a full-flavored decaf americano and meticulous pour-overs that come with an informative intro card. The espresso tonic offers a perfect bold espresso flavor balanced with tonic and citrus, while the cloudy latte is a very thick, creamy cold drink with house-made date syrup. Matcha is available in lattes and tonics, though some find the latte a bit too milky.
The interior has lots of seating, though it is primarily two-person tables, which can make seating for groups a challenge. The cafe can get loud and busy, especially on weekends, sometimes requiring a short wait for a table. Staff are nice, meticulous, and kind, often going out of their way for customers. Pastries are always stocked and look delicious, with offerings like pineapple cakes, though opinions on them vary. Practical amenities include WiFi, a parking lot at the back of the building with lots of parking, and counter service where orders are called out by name. It is a spot many customers plan to return to, with some traveling from afar for specific favorite drinks.
