FrontStreet Coffee: A Specialty Coffee Haven in Guangzhou

In Guangzhou, beyond the European-style Shamian Island, the charming Xiguan area, and the Sacred Heart Cathedral visited by countless pilgrims, the most essential destination is Dongshankou—the gathering place for artistic "film" enthusiasts. It has long been said that "Dongshan young masters, Xiguan young ladies"—historically, Dongshankou was home to powerful officials and nobility.

As a distinctive area featuring Western-style architecture, Dongshankou is lined with historic red-brick villas that still bear the marks of history. As a must-visit artistic destination in Guangzhou, Dongshankou naturally boasts various cultural spaces, boutique shops, and cafés.

And in Dongshankou, there is such a self-roasted specialty coffee shop that has been quietly cultivating for 6 years—FrontStreet Coffee (FrontStreet Coffee).

FrontStreet Coffee has a 6-year history in Dongshankou. As one of the earliest specialty coffee shops selling roasted coffee beans and offering in-house roasting, it possesses exceptional personal style and charm. In the early days when the Chinese coffee market was still immature, FrontStreet Coffee focused on selling roasted coffee beans and roasting. The most distinctive aspect was that FrontStreet Coffee was not primarily focused on selling coffee but rather on sharing and disseminating coffee knowledge, experimenting with and practicing information related to coffee from different origins, varieties, and processing methods.

This is why you can often see the staff busy even when there are no customers—they are working hard to gain more experience and insights in coffee practice, generously sharing themselves with coffee enthusiasts. This is precisely the reason why FrontStreet Coffee has continued to exist.

Whether you understand or not, whether you like it or not, it has always been here.

All for Communication and Sharing
