Unclaimed

Much more than just shopping. One of Shanghai major shopping malls The highlight was the Starbucks Reserve Roastery just around the corner. What a massive store! It's the China’s largest and the first of its kind in Asia.

This is a great eight levels shopping mall which is based on HK theme. Levels P1 and P2 are car park levels. Information counters as well as small food courts can be found on level LG1 and LG2. HKRI centres are on level 1 and level 2. The Sukhothai Shanghai and The Middle House are on level 3. Roof Garden is on level 4. There are many big brands such as Asics, New Balanced, Zen and others can be found within this mall. There are many good restaurants as well. Within the building complex houses one of the biggest Starbucks flagship store known as Starbucks Reserve Roastery Shanghai with around 2700 square metres of roastery floor space. It is like having an entire coffee factory. There are two floors, namely floor 1 and floor 2. On floor 1, there are six sections, namely section 1 to section 6. Section 1 is the Roasting Area where one can watch how the master roasters unlock the unique flavour nuances. Section 2 is the Symphony Pipes and Bean Silos. Here, one can observe how the roasted beans are delivered to the five copper pipes known as Symphony. Section 3 is the Main Bar where coffee meets craft! Section 4 is the Pairing Bar where one can elevate one's coffee experience and then take home a freshly scooped bag. Section 5 is Handpicked at the Roastery and finally on Section 6, one can indulge on pastries, pizzas and breads. On floor 2, there are 4 sections, Section 7 to Section 10, which is a continuation from Section 6. Section 7 is the Coffee Library. Section 8 is for tea lovers, Teavana. Section 9 is the Cold Brew Tower and Section 10 is the Long Bar. This Starbucks is packed with people but there are personnel which help with the traffic within Starbucks. For users travelling on wheelchairs and strollers, to get from one floor to another, there is no ramp and the only way is to use the elevator. Anyway, the address for Starbucks Reserve Roastery is 789, West Nanjing Road (Near No.1 Shimen Road), Shanghai.

Well designed mall with good selection of shops. Starbucks is impressive. Enjoyed not small portion of shaved ice cream at Ice Monster. Play Me piano available to show up. Minus for quite a few shops not accepting VISA and for not having ATM in the mall - need to go to ICBC across the road, otherwise the great place to shop.

This mall is 5 star. With The Middle House Hotel next to it. A lot of retail stores definitely higher end. Starbucks Reserve is nearby if you want to grab a quick coffee. Alternatively a 5 minute walk towards the metro station and you can have more eating options.
