At Café
As befits a café in the 798 Art District, this is a cleverly designed place - check out the holes in the interior walls - that serves the local artists and poseurs good coffee and juices, pasta dishes, salads and sandwiches. There's a small outside terrace.

Bocata
Great spot for lunch, especially in summer, located slap bang in the middle of Sanlitun's bar street. There's a vague Mediterranean/Middle-Eastern theme to the food, as the name suggests, with decent hummus, but the sandwiches on ciabatta and top-class chips are decidedly Western in flavour. The juices and smoothies go down a treat too. The large outside terrace gets busy if the weather's nice.

Café Pause
Artfully designed, hip café in the heart of the 798 Art District which attracts a mixed bag of trendy locals and passing tourists. The central European-inspired menu features Vienna schnitzel and Hungarian goulash, as well as an all-day breakfast. In the evening, it's a pleasant spot for a glass of wine. They mix decent cocktails here too.

Mima
If you're visiting the Old Summer Palace (Yuánmíng Yuán), then be sure to check out this great, eccentric café. From the bar made up of books, to the most memorable toilet in Běijīng, this place is all about creative design. It's particularly nice in the summer, when you can sit outside surrounded by a small army of cats.

Sculpting in Time
An easy place to while away an afternoon, Sculpting in Time offers books and magazines to browse through, as well as sandwiches and pasta for when you get peckish.

Waiting for Godot
Bizarre but charming café that takes it name from Samuel Beckett's most acclaimed play. It maintains the literary theme by housing a Chinese language-only bookshop. During the day, it's a coffee house. At night, it's a quiet place for a drink.
