Description

If you're looking for an excuse to snoop around the beautiful campus of China's most famous art schools, the China Academy of Art, you've just found one. This café is nestled right in the heart of the academy and is, not surprisingly, a popular meeting spot for visiting artists (the broke art students probably find cheaper alternatives). Coming here just to walk past the waterways and amazing architecture of the main building is worth it in itself, but academy or no academy, the café does also serve excellent Lavazza coffee. A lot less tacky than Kiwi's Café mentioned above, Antidote's interior pulls off the trendy, up-scale art café look quite well. The walls are decorated with large-scale art work and the huge, glass windows and high ceilings lend the café a bright, friendly, laid-back atmosphere. The menu includes a classic selection of coffees, hot or iced, as well as a number of pastries and light snacks.
