Americano that changes color! We uncovered the hidden menu of the barista himself in this shop

This literary coffee shop in Wuyang Village

There is a very positive name called "NO KPI"

You may know this store.

But you may not have tried their hidden menu

Color-changing layered American style

When stirred, it looks like a "sunset"!

01

This layered Americano changes color and is not on the menu.

Baristas are sometimes like inventors, quietly developing drinks that are not on the menu in coffee shops. We call these drinks "hidden menus."

Layered American

In this literary coffee shop in Wuyang Village, we ordered a cup of hidden menu. This cup of iced American coffee not only has beautiful layers , but also changes color !

The owner, Xiao Nuan, told us that this layered Americano has a magical little secret . As she spoke, she took out her phone and the Americano changed color!

The original black coffee instantly turned into yellow and orange layers, just like a sunset at dusk, under an orange sky, the yellow part looks like the sun that is about to disappear...

Stir it and you’ll get an even bigger surprise. The whole cup of drink will start to spin like a sunset glow . You can’t help but say “magic” !

Want to know what the clear liquid under this Americano is? Go to the store and try it and you will know!

02

The menu drinks that are not hidden also have their own characteristics

Dirt Power

Dirty art with style

A landscape painting created by the fusion of espresso and milk, DIRTY is one of the store's best-selling drinks.

NOKPI's espresso is made from single-origin beans from Colombia. Without ice, the coffee is dripped into the milk on a coffee machine in its original flavor, and you can drink it in three different flavors.

Gothic Latte

A new non-coffee product in the store uses hot milk to draw beautiful patterns on the gray drink.

The grey drink matches the grey interior design of the shop, and grey represents nobility. It tastes like sweet almond milk.

LATTE

The milk foam is thinner than that of cappuccino. The menu of the store tells customers the difference between cappuccino, latte and flat white in a simple and easy-to-understand way, which is very considerate.

The latte here is served in a set of black cups and saucers with gold edges, which is very elegant and beautiful, and the beautiful latte art also adds a lot of points.

03

After eating the cake, you can see a line of mysterious words

There is a mysterious kitchen in the store. Every day, desserts are made to order. When you order desserts, you will be given a beautiful oil painting with an introduction to the desserts.

Mulberry Chocolate Mousse

Today I visited the store and tried the new cake that NOKPI is about to launch. It is a very delicate chocolate mousse cake with fresh mulberries on it.

The rich chocolate mousse is made with chocolate of higher purity, so it tastes bitter, but also has the sweetness of chocolate, mixed with the fragrance of nuts.

The boss told us that the wooden tray under this cake is custom-made according to the size of the cake, and you will see an interesting sentence after eating the cake.

I like sweetness but I also have to accept bitterness.

Isn’t this the taste of this cake? I like sweet so I ordered this chocolate mousse, but of course I have to accept the bitter taste of high concentration of chocolate.

Ship of Theseus

A super good-looking mousse tart, with lemon mousse and orange chocolate mousse as the filling, topped with vanilla custard and topped with fresh fruit.

The mousse tart is relatively hard, so you can cut a small piece with a knife, and eat it in one bite with the custard sauce and fruit on top. It has a colorful taste and the aroma of lemon surrounds your mouth.

Seeing Black and White in Grayscale

A dessert that looks like a work of art, together with the "Gothic Latte" just introduced, can form a gray afternoon tea. The chocolate glaze is made to look like gray marble, giving each piece of mousse a unique texture.

There is fragrant jasmine mousse hidden in the marble chocolate, and there is a layer of sesame filling inside. I think eating this dessert is not only a taste enjoyment, but also a smell enjoyment!

This is a cafe full of words

I have seen INS-style, pure white, literary-style cafes, but I have never seen a cafe that hangs chicken soup words in the store.

From the words at the door, "I live by my feelings, I have many flaws," to the words in the store , "Learn the new through familiarity, and reshape through repetition," the owner, Xiao Nuan, said that everyone will have their own different understandings when seeing these words.

Although the decoration is mainly gray, a lot of green plants are added as embellishment, making the whole store look vibrant.

Various coffee tools are placed on the simple marble bar, and customers can also sit at the bar and watch the barista make coffee.

This microscope-like instrument turns out to be a coffee bean grinder. This coffee bean grinder can adjust the degree of grinding of the coffee beans and the number of grinding revolutions. It is very professional.

There is a secret base at the innermost part, which is a wooden Japanese bar with some wine bottles. According to Xiao Nuan, you can also come here for a drink later~

There is also a glass room on the first floor, which is "changing in setting" . Although this glass room has been fixed here, the furnishings in the glass room can be changed at will. Now it is a sunny study room.

There is a phrase "Be alone in the noise" on the stairs. There is a small mezzanine above the stairs, which is a private space.

Downstairs may be lively and noisy, but after going up to the second floor, you can hide in the mezzanine and enjoy a moment of solitude.

Most importantly, this store has a very pleasing name, NOKPI . KPI is what we usually call work performance, which is what we hate the most and want the most.

NO KPI is a dream for employees and a nightmare for bosses. But when you are oppressed by endless KPIs, you might as well step into NOKPI and enjoy a moment of peace.
