Guangzhou Essential: Pull Up a Stool for ShengDeng Coffee!

#gzonbudget Bringing the iconic Guangdong “shengdeng” stool culture into the world of coffee — this place is next level, boss 🪑☕️ Every drink here feels like it’s been thoughtfully crafted, with real creativity behind it. I’m officially adding this spot to my must-try coffee list in Guangzhou. 💯 「ALO」 – ¥36 Recommendation: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 I went for the ALO Americano, a light-to-medium roast that strikes a nice balance — not too acidic, with a rich and layered aroma. There’s a clever twist in the cup too: you’ll catch notes of hibiscus, bergamot, and a subtle hint of strawberry. 🍓 Complex but super drinkable! 「Little Bee (Xiao Mi Feng)」 – ¥35 Recommendation: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 This one’s a milk coffee made with honey-processed beans, lightly roasted — a great intro for beginners. Opt for the milk version and you might just catch flavors that resemble a blueberry cheesecake 🍰. Honestly, it blew my mind! 「The First Chair」 – ¥40 Recommendation: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 This is the store’s signature drink — and a wild one at that. It starts with an Ethiopian cold brew base, layered with Wuyi rock tea, coconut blossom sugar, passionfruit, and yellow wampee fruit. First sip hits you with a tropical sweet-sour kick, then settles into a bold, bittersweet finish from the cold brew and tea. If you’re into adventurous combos — this is the one. 💰 Average: ¥38/person 📍 Address: No. 105, 19 Liuyun 7th Street, Tianhe District, Guangzhou
