4) 97 Hong Kong Dessert （香港97）
This is probably the only place in town where you can find such an extensive selection of cool Hong Kong desserts, and customers have also recommended it as a cool place to hangout.
Many who claim to have a passion for the shop suggest working your way through the Mango selection and various iced drinks using coconut, fruits, jello and red beans. The papaya with black herbal jelly is a nice touch too.
Address: B1, The Gate City Mall Bldg 8, 22 Zhongguancun Science Park, Haidian District.

5) Aizai Café (爱在咖啡)
This little café is not easy to find, but the hunt is certainly worth it for the bagels, waffles and coffees on offer. Reportedly, the barista and café consultant here worked in cafés in the U.S. for eight years—and the perfectly smooth lattes prove it.
Don't ever pass on the bagels, said a loyal customer nicknamed "bandsauce" in his post. Fresh bagels (20RMB) come with a generous spread of cream cheese. These aren't just bread rounds; they are lovingly prepared by a former employee who learned to make bagels from a Western family she used to work for. They taught her well; they're crispy on the outside and doughy on the inside. But the waffles (25RMB), made in a proper waffle iron with house batter, certainly steal the show. The organic milk and freshly- roasted coffee are a bonus.
It has a loft as its second floor and the two story windows let in lots of natural light. If you want Chinese food, they have noodles too.
Address: Shop 158, 1/F, ULO Park Bldg 608, Guangshun S Street, Wangjing.
