For an open-ended cafe stay near Daan Park or an old-house space on Jianguo South Road, 2J CAFE is run by Korean owners Jude and Jason, and the name 2J comes from both names. The old house retains red brick and its original layout, adding industrial touches, upstairs window views and backyard seating. Matcha Latte rewards slow sipping, while Korean Barbecue Rice Bowl brings Korean savory food into the cafe. Its greatest strength is the complete space that makes you want to stay, not only one drink.
● Matcha Latte
Whipped cream covers the surface, creating a rich texture. Korean matcha powder supplies tea aroma and gentle bitterness, rounded by milk. This isn't an intense drink that jolts you awake in one sip; it is better taken slowly in the old house. If you avoid sweetness, ask first rather than letting the whipped cream decide for you.
● Korean Barbecue Rice Bowl
Korean savory-sweet barbecue sauce joins rice and vegetables in a full meal, naturally reflecting the owners' background. Its value goes beyond a cafe having savory food: people who arrive at noon and work through the afternoon do not need to go hungry. Mix the sauce and toppings first for more even bites.
With a laptop, find an outlet seat and do not occupy an entire large table alone on busy holidays. Old-house stairs and seating are less regular than a new shop, which is part of their character. Call ahead if you need an accessible route.
