Picture My Cup: New Cafe In Wangjing Focuses on Americano
Amidst the rapid development happening in Wangjing, Picture My Cup has placed its final touches up on the walls and seems poised to secure itself as a go-to place in the neighborhood for high-quality American brunch and lunch fare.
Following the huge success of Kro’s Nest, owner Marty Handley is taking a step back from the world of pizza, and adding sandwiches, hot dogs, all-day breakfast and delectable lunch specials to his new venture. Coupled with a satisfying drinks menu – especially for those who enjoy the odd alcoholic beverage – Picture My Cup is a welcome innovation to Wangjing.
Their signature item, a customizable sandwich (RMB 55), gives the choice of one type of bread, one meat, one cheese, one sauce, and one side dish. For the mathematicians among us, I believe that equates to a lot of delicious options available. The multigrain bread tasted like one from a farmers’ market – hot and fresh with a captivating aroma that brought the countryside onto the plate. White cheddar cheese melted into roast beef, accented by a jalapeno whole grain mustard. With so many choices to be made, Picture My Cup is guaranteed to snap up new customers very quickly.
