Fodor's Expert Review Coffee Street

If you need to take a break, the best place for coffee in Xiamen is on the waterfront outside the Marco Polo hotel. Along Yundang Lu, aka Coffee Street, you will find nearly five blocks of cafés—some more modern looking than others. There are dozens of spots to choose from, but we recommend hitting up Coffee Club (Shop 10, 1 Jianye Lu, 0592/531–2246) on the corner, which serves quality, if slightly pricey coffee, fresh juices and good sandwiches.
