Tribe Open Third and Biggest Location in Solana
After successfully launching two previous locations in Gongti and Lido, homegrown Beijing brand Tribe Organic have just opened their third and largest location yet at Solana. At 335 square meters, the new location seats just over 100 people across a range of different seating areas, from (actually comfy) bar stools to banquets and tables for two.
As with Tribe's previous locations, the focus here is on organic, healthy food and living, a philosophy that is amply reflected in the decor scheme – think lots of green paint, natural wood accents, and plenty of air-cleaning greenery. There is also much more of a lounge/evening venue feel here, thanks to the clearly defined and well-stocked bar area.
That bar is not just for drinks of the alcoholic variety, however. Tribe is putting the focus on coffee at their Solana location, with seats around the bar that allow diners (or drinkers) to get up close and personal with the baristas, whether they're slinging an espresso or lovingly crafting a pour-over coffee. Enjoy your coffee with a healthy treat from their cake cabinet.
Of course, being located in Solana, one of the other selling points of the new location is its family-friendly appeal. Tribe have made sure that there is plenty to appeal to both kids and parents, installing a kids' play area, diaper changing facilities, and a dedicated children's restroom, and updating their kids' menu with new, eye-catching dishes. While this is great news for families, we feel like laptop warriors in search of peace and quiet may want to stick with the original Gongti location, especially at the weekend.
Now there's no excuse not to refuel with some healthy, hearty food after a heavy shopping session at Solana.
