Five Bottomless Coffee Joints For Surviving The Six-Day Workweek

We're sad to say that Mid-Autumn festival holiday is coming to its inevitable end, which means laying off the mooncakes and filling up on coffee. Many of us are going to need barrels of it in the next six days. Six. Whole. Days. How does one stay awake that long? The answer: bottomless coffee. Here's five joints you'll want to check out.

1. Element Fresh

This wildly popular chain offers unlimited free refills with its weekend brunch specials, so head out on Saturday or Sunday to get some delicious food paired with some serious coffee.

2. Lush

Every day from 8am-4pm, for RMB 20, you can get as many drip coffee refills as you want.

3 The Local

For RMB 40, you can sip on unlimited coffee from 11am-4pm. If it's Tuesday, you can stay until 5pm and get a half-price steak. Or if it’s Wednesday, do RMB 3 buffalo wings and buy-one-get-one-free margaritas. Or try 1/2 price cocktails and martinis on ladies night, Fridays. Saturdays, it's RMB 10 mojitos. Sorry, we're getting ahead of ourselves...

4. Ikea

It might not taste like the fire-roasted beans from Costa Rica, or wherever remarkable coffee is supposed to come from these days, but there’s no denying that RMB 5 for all-you-can-stand (we say stand because, well, Ikea coffee is just a hair above tasting like toasted sand) coffee is a good deal.

5. The Hardware Shop

Enjoy bottomless RMB 12 coffee Mon-Fri, 7.30 to 10.30 am. Add RMB 8 for toast and homemade jam.
