After 2.5 long months of preparation, we are extremely happy to have finally opened the doors to our NLGX Design & Cafe shop in Beijing’s old city area of Nanluoguxiang. This weekend we hosted old friends and new friends, and were lucky enough to be treated with the first warm weekend of 2008!
Thank you all for your support! Without you all, our first NLGX shop would not have been possible.
We’d like to offer a special thanks to:
- Kerry from Coolava Islands Coffee for her premium roast beans and supplies
- Rick from Pilot Coffee for the imported espresso machine and water filtration system
- Mr. Zhao for managing renovations
- Leon and WeiWei for the delicious homemade cookies
- Fabio and Ely from Gustomenta for supplying our gelato
- Mr. Zheng for our rush order of t-shirts
- Sanny from Santa Fe for the Chinese furniture and the Indonesian decorations
- Yuzhou from CRI for her all-around help and support
- Lu Chengjun and Lijie for the Saturday afternoon jam session
- Casey from Wokai.org for helping to build our gelato machine
- and of course our friends and family for all the support!
