Cafe Food Fight Winner!

Our Café Food Fight has really come to the boil this week, with our list of top-rated places radically redrawn. This is how things looked last week:

1. Panino Teca
2. Panino Giusto
3. Sculpting in Time
4. Village Cafe

After a week of Food Fighting, Comptoirs de France has come out of nowhere to steal the top spot, while Café Zarah has slipped into third place. It’s good to see one of the Gu Lou cafes making it into the top five. Meanwhile, Panino Giusto has slipped down to fourth place – a reaction, it seems, to mixed service levels.

5. Sculpting in Time

Our winning review this week comes from David_Pennbrook, with his assessment of the student favorite Sculpting in Time:

A little piece of Haidian heaven
“As a university student Sculpting in Time is truly a God-send. The atmosphere is so relaxing. One can snuggle up on the overstuffed chairs and sofas while sipping away on expertly crafted drinks. The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating, never rushing you out or trying to make you hurry. Sculpting in Time gives most American coffee shops a run for their money.”
