Looking for a charming spot to sip hand-dripped coffee? Rumors is your place. A quaint Japanese cafe that maximizes natural light and clean minimalist design, Rumors has two locations in Shanghai (Hunan Road and Xingguo Road). Locally owned by husband and wife, the Nakayamas have been serving strictly hand dripped coffee since 2011. The beans arrive on site raw and are roasted in house under Mr.Nakayama's watchful eye based on the bean origin, variety and flavor preference . Pro tip: crowds flock in for the afternoon pick-me-up, especially on the weekends so if you are looking for a more peaceful setting, mornings are best. If crowd watching is more your speed, come early and stay late.
