Describe a cafe you like to visit.

　　You should say:

　　Where it is

　　What kind of food and drinks they serve there

　　What you do there

　　And explain why you like to visit this place.

　　A café I'd like to visit is a small, family-owned café in Beijing, not far from the Lama Temple, down a street called Wudaoying. This street is well-known for it's more alternative boutique shops, bars, cafes and restaurants. It's a traditional hutong street in the old part of the city. Anyway, there are quite a few small cafes there and each has an individual and personal style, unlike the big chains and franchises you commonly see all over the city. The particular café I am talking about is run by an artist friend of my friend who is a big lover of cats. Yes, he actually keeps loads of rescue cats and they pretty much live in the café and the back courtyard. The seats in the café are cozy armchairs and comfortable sofas. There are wooden tables, small lampshades and interesting paintings on the walls, and bookshelves tucked in corners and between the seating. It's a bit like a really cozy living room in an old person's house in Europe, I imagine, with, of course, a unique and interesting Chinese flavour – calligraphy books on the shelves and antique Chinese ornaments on display. In terms of the menu, the café provides a wide variety of different fruit teas, coffee, and a few simple, interesting cocktails. There isn't really much food, but the snacks they offer are tasty and well-considered. There are small Japanese-style barbecue snacks, western sandwiches and some light salads. I often go to this cafe with my friend, Joyce, when we feel like being away from the corporate feel of the CBD where we work, away from huge avenues of thundering traffic, and the high-rise buildings of central Beijing. It's a nice kind of escape from all of that. We sit and chat about life, our relationships, our family, our aspirations and our worries. And somehow the atmosphere in that café, and all the cats roaming around freely, always makes us feel more positive about the future.
