I’ve known about Rumors Coffee since they opened on Hunan Road five years ago, and though I never ventured inside, I’ve always been intrigued by this tiny Japanese cafe that serves only hand dripped coffee. They opened a second location on Xingguo Road just over a year ago, and upon my return from Paris, I finally paid this place a visit…and what a charmer it is!

其實早在五年前，魯馬滋在湖南路上開了第一家店時我就注意到它了。雖然沒進去過，卻一直對這家小小的日式手沖咖啡店感到莫名的興趣。一年多前他們在興國路開了二店，而我趁著從巴黎搬回上海這個機會，拜托朋友介紹了我認識咖啡店的老板中山先生和中山太太。一去，就完全喜歡上這個地方了。

Before opening this shop, Keiichi Nakayama had a corporate job in Tokyo and travelled to Shanghai from time to time for work. Liking what he saw, he decided to move here with his Shanghainese wife, and together the two of them started their first cafe in 2011 to bring good hand dripped coffee to this city.

開咖啡店之前，中山先生在東京做著一般上班族的工作，偶爾會來上海出差。因爲喜歡咖啡，因爲喜歡上海，他和中山太太決定搬來這裏，兩個人一起開了專做手沖咖啡的魯馬滋。順帶一提，中山太太是上海人，說話非常溫柔，有機會找她聊聊天，心情會很好哦。

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。
