Khaki 咖啡吧
Part of a three-level complex that makes up FIFI茶酒沙龍, located along the wide, leafy stretch of 仁愛路. The second floor is a Chinese restaurant in the style of colonial Shanghai, and the third floor is an upscale lounge-bar. We had a seat in the coffeehouse on the first floor, taking a break along our stroll to the Flower Market. The space in the back is especially nice, brightly lit with big skylights and fashionably decorated with a motley of tables, couches, and other vintage furnitures.
We ordered something mostly out of obligation so we could rest our feet a bit. Understood that the fashionable space justified a slight premium for some simple afternoon tea snacks. Even then the food was seriously disappointing. SO's blueberry shake was more icy than fruity. My tiramisu was rock-hard and I almost put up with it until the SO spoke up in indignation. They were nice enough about it, at least, but the cake they replaced it with was generic supermarket quality at best. Nice space to sit down and chill, and maybe their dinner menu works out better, but the afternoon tea certainly wasn't anything memorable.
