The next time you are in need of a tasty crepe or a real cup of coffee, the place to go is Soul Mate. Located just off the always-popular Shanghai Lu, Soul Mate is a quaint French-inspired cafe and a must-try for all in Nanjing. With comfy couches and what could be Nanjing’s best coffee, Soul Mate is a great place to spend a lazy afternoon listening to good music and playing games – they have chess, a few board games, UNO cards and plenty of decks of cards to go around. And once you get hungry, their brief-but-tasty menu offers something for everyone. Most recommended, however, are the crepes. Lunch and dinner crepes are pretty good, but their banana crepe with chocolate sauce is a one-of-a-kind. While there are only about six tables in the place, it’s usually not too crowded to get a table.
pity the staff were more interested in playing cards and taobao than serving or being watchful of customers. Great potential let down by poor work ethics and training. A very disappointing experience.
