where to find good coffee near Tiệm caffe MidWay 2026
Sit down, maybe 25 to 35 yuan
That range sounds right for a sit-down cup, though I'd budget closer to 30 to 40 if you want a single-origin pour-over. MidWay is definitely a stay-a-while place, not grab and go, so factor in the table time.
yeah 25 to 35 sounds about right for a latte, but a plain black might run u a bit less
sounds about right for a latte, though a plain americano might be closer to 20
Agreed on the americano, and drip coffee usually lands even lower, around 15 to 18.
A 20 yuan americano tracks for the cheaper local places, but MidWay sits closer to 25 given the seating.
Ask about the beans before ordering, that's the tell.
Roast date beats origin, honestly.
Freshness wins every time, check the bag date
Prices swing a lot by season, so just ask whoever's behind the counter what's fresh.
Is the MidWay cafe deposit scam common in Gejiu 2026?
Classic deposit scam, never refunded.
yeah they usually ask for 200 then vanish before u even sit down, saw the same thing near Tiệm caffe MidWay last month
saw him working the corner by the bus stop too, always with a clipboard to look official
Usually a two man setup, one blocks the pavement.
They rotate between spots so if you call them out they just move to the next corner within the hour.
The 200 is just the opener, the real ask comes once you're walking with them toward the tasting room.
It's not just the deposit that vanishes. They often lead u toward the side alleys off Jiefang Lu first, then ask for "insurance" money on top. Once you hand over anything, the guy's gone.
agreed, the refund never comes. the twist I heard is they sometimes hand u a fake receipt with a phone number that just rings out, so u waste a day chasing it. best to walk away and not even argue.
receipt number traces to a dead sim card
200 yuan is the "tasting fee," not a deposit
