Just opened 2 months ago, Chang Zuo 長作 is the newest outlet by Chinese fashion brand/select shop Dong Liang 棟樑. Located on Changle Road, this beautifully renovated structure includes a first floor cafe, topped by 3 levels of boutique space displaying a carefully curated selection from independent designers, as well as Dong Liang’s own creations. The design style is a mix of modern and wabisabi, with careful attention to details. It’s exactly my cup of tea.
托荃二文老板的福，我在回上海的第四天就發現了棟梁于長樂路上新開的 “長作“。 一樓是咖啡館，二至四樓則是與棟梁合作的獨立設計師作品陳列室。整個空間非常漂亮，許多小細節都做的相當用心，而且雖是新店，卻已有種沈澱過，令人安心的穩重感。
The menu includes hand drip coffee from Seesaw (40-50 RMB/cup), tea (68 RMB/pot), and freshly squeezed juices (40-45 RMB/glass). On this first visit, I tired the Colombia Wine Making (40 RMB) which was very nice, as well as a fig pumpkin tart (40 RMB) which was just ok. Do know that Chang Zuo does not serve espresso and lattes etc., so don’t come asking for pretty latte art.
簡短的飲品單上大部分是Seesaw的手衝咖啡，不過也有茶和鮮榨果汁。我點了一杯哥倫比亞紅酒處理（40元）和一塊無花果南瓜塔（40元）；咖啡好喝，南瓜塔沒有特別印象（據說提供甜點的是來自杭州的咖啡枕頭，似乎是個小有名氣的品牌，不過我可能離開太久了吧，對它並不熟悉）。
Going upstairs, to the equally elegantly-designed boutique space.
往二樓上去，就是品牌陳列空間。每個角落都很美。
I suppose this is what people call love at first sight.
簡潔低調的設計感，完全是我喜歡的風格，也難怪我對這間咖啡店一見鍾情。對了，長作不供應意式咖啡，所以請不要期待拿鐵拉花之類的東西。
