Potato Brain



A rarity in Beijing, this stand not far from Line 4’s Xisi Subway Station has two specialties: fried potatoes and hot dogs – and coffee… so three things. The menu is simple, first, you pick your potatoes, which range from classic French fries to tater tots to those smiley face tater tots; then choose a hot dog.


For dogs there are five to choose from, including a double hot dog, dubbed the “Double Sausage Double Happy” (RMB 18); the New York Dog (RMB 25), which comes loaded with onions, green peppers, ketchup, mustard, and white sauce; and, another worth mentioning, the Fries Party Dog (RMB 32), topped with French fries (in case you want fries on the dog instead of on the side), ketchup, chopped bacon and cheese.

Pepper Café



This newly opened coffee shop inside Sanlitun SOHO is as simple as a coffee shop can get – which is saying something considering all the cafés to be found here opt for style over substance. Pepper has a counter, coffee-making area, seating, and walls plastered with what looks to be manga covers, nuff said. For coffee, it’s just Americanos (RMB 25, iced or hot), Latte (RMB 33), etc. They do have seasonal flavors and an affogato coming to the menu soon – worth a try.

Blue Ark Pub & DAO Coffee



DAO Coffee has opened yet another branch, this time connected with a brand new restaurant and beer bar: Blue Ark. DAO brings what they’re known for to this new location – damn good coffee, so let’s turn to Blue Ark. From the looks of it, they serve typical bar fare, including beef tacos, rib platters, various snacks, and even a truffle burger. As for beers, the menu is split into four sections with lots to choose from, including a few IPAs, pilsners, fruit-flavored beer, and the like. If you can’t decide there’s the option for a four-glass flight (RMB 89/four 150 ml glasses of beer).
