WHY GO

Give the barista a few minutes to talk you through the beans. Inside Breakthrough’s bookshop, Alternative pairs a working coffee counter with shelves to browse before or after your cup. Its parent organisation runs a roastery and coffee training for young people, while recent visitors praise the help choosing coffee. Ask for the current hand-drip selection, then decide whether a bag belongs in your kitchen too. This small Woosung Street café makes a rewarding pause between the busier shopping streets.

OUR ORDER

Ask which house-roasted coffee is available for hand-drip, or choose a flat white. For lunch, look for the chicken-and-avocado sandwich recommended in a November 2025 visit. An October 2024 visitor enjoyed coffee mixed with apple juice; ask whether that option is still available.
