Started with coffee, but never stopped with coffee. What can coffee be paired with? Perhaps the answer can be found in the theme market "Delicious Praise · Coffee Trendy Market" of the 2026 Hongqiao International Coffee Culture Festival, which will open on May 15th.
This market is the first coffee market since the fourth Hongqiao International Coffee Culture Festival. It will last until May 17th, from 10:00 to 21:00 every day, gathering more than 60 specialty stalls such as coffee, food, cultural and creative, and public art. They are lined up in a row on the green space of Noah's Wealth Plaza, full of fireworks.
At the event, the reporter was attracted by a special tune held by a citizen, surrounded by dry ice and exuding a fairy like aura. This is the "Latitude Coffee" from Changzhou, Jiangsu.
The landlady introduced to the reporter the original special coffee "Saturday Morning", which is cold brewed Maoshan Qingfeng green tea, Ethiopian washed coffee base, paired with juniper flavored liquid, and decorated with camellia biscuits and smoke.
The creativity of this special tune comes from the comfort of morning runs in the mountains, aiming to convey the feeling of escaping busyness and enjoying relaxation to every coffee enthusiast. She said that she is very optimistic about the coffee consumption market in Shanghai and has launched market research. There are plans to test the waters and open stores to expand the Shanghai market.
Maple Blue Coffee, which has just settled in Hongqiao Longhu Tianjie and gained popularity from Chengdu, also took the initiative to appear in this market, bringing the brand's popular pistachio latte.
Have you ever tried drinking coffee with a lidded bowl? "The salesperson enthusiastically recommended, bringing the authentic Sichuan style coffee flavor to the business district. Using traditional Chinese lidded bowls as containers, paired with Sichuan style characteristic chili and Sichuan peppercorns, the unique taste buds collide and leave a deep impression.
Here are more independent brands with distinct personal or regional imprints. For example, the "Bitun Coffee" from Baoshan, Yunnan not only brings the richness of highland beans, but also the story of its origin tracing back; The "Saint Di Coffee" that focuses on traditional hand brewing is surrounded by many enthusiasts who are observing attentively in front of the operating table; The creative tone, name, and flavor of 'Xi Ka' reflect the ingenuity of the host.
On the first day of opening, we also welcomed many special customers. Digital nomads Carstal and Monica Momo said that they saw an advertisement for the Hongqiao International Coffee Culture Festival on their way to Hongqiao Airport after landing, and they made plans to experience it together today. This place is like a party, with many cross-border fusion experiences, making people feel more alive
The relevant person in charge of the organizer of the market, Fenjingjie (Shanghai) Culture Co., Ltd., stated that based on years of experience in hosting the China Coffee Cup Testing Competition, this market focuses on showcasing the diverse ecology of Chinese specialty coffee.
The core of the market is coffee, but coffee is here, not a solo performance, "said Zhou Xingjun, the office director of the Hongqiao International Coffee Culture Festival Organizing Committee and deputy secretary of the Xinhong Street Party Working Committee. For the past three years, the Hongqiao International Coffee Culture Festival has always adhered to the core concept of" coffee+everything ".
This year, we have adopted a 'market+public welfare' approach, with social entities self raising and running their own themed coffee culture festival markets, maximizing the potential for this feast to become a collaborative one
