If you're in search of an anti-inflammatory coffee option, the ginger latte at Grasp Coffee is an excellent choice. It combines freshly squeezed turmeric juice with hot coffee, creating a rich flavor that brings a warm sensation. For those who prefer a bolder ginger taste, simply request extra ginger when placing your order.

Additionally, the café offers free coffee grounds that can be used to neutralize odors in refrigerators, shoe cabinets, and cars. However, since these grounds have passed their flavor peak, they are not suitable for brewing coffee.

In Shenzhen's fast-paced urban life, young people are seeking ways to satisfy their inner needs while expressing their lifestyle. This is where the "coffee in the morning, alcohol at night" model comes into play, highlighting the transition from coffee to alcohol as the day progresses.

Located on Cuiye Road in Futian, 77 cafe&bar is a cozy, inviting place that embodies this concept.

The owner is clearly a fan of Leslie Cheung, as there are posters of him both inside and outside the store, along with some creative cartoon posters.
