Mifan or Mafan: Eli Italian Bar

This simple gelato shop moved onto Guloudong Dajie rather quietly. It mainly specializes in the cool and creamy Italian treat (scoops range from RMB25-50), but also sells coffee – cappuccino, affogato, all the classics are here – and strangely, fancy handmade soap. The gelato is divine, and best enjoyed on the rooftop upstairs where you can hide out for a few moments, away from the noisy street crowds down below.
