It shows that Coffee & Art was opened up by a semi-retired local design company founder; an easy place in which to relax and watch sleepy Jiangning drift by. The art in Coffee & Art comprises numerous paintings (prints in most cases it seems) for sale that make for interesting wallpaper to accompany the usual assortment of coffees and teas. The tranquil environment makes Coffee & Art the ideal place to while away cold rainy winter afternoons with a good book while an additional basement area would serve nicely as a lockup for looted art.
