The only place I can think of is the huge shopping mall (10 floors) close to the bell tower. Have you tried it?

ZHET doesn't know the answer because she doesn't drink coffee or cook.

Best choice would be Metro, but you need a card to get in. (Well, maybe you can talk your way in. I'm not sure.)

!! Be warned that "students" who want to practice English with you may actually be scammers. In Shanghai they try the Tea Ceremony Scam. In Beijing it's the Art Student Scam. Be very wary if a stranger wants to speak English with you, especially if you are in a tourist area. !!

Just joking. :)
