It might be located off one of Shanghai’s busiest arteries but at just 20 sq m, Fine cafe is designed to draw only the most observant of pastry-loving pilgrims.

Local practice Atelier A designed the rustic interiors of the teahouse and dessert spot, which is an eponymous addition to the brand’s small chain of Japanese-style cafes in the city.

Atelier A has given the interiors an old-world vibe via exposed brick and rough cement walls and floors. The staff bar and pastry cabinets are made from worn dark wood which adds to the vintage feel, while a trio of small wooden tables has been mounted to the wall.

Naked lightbulbs and electrical wiring are left exposed, adding to Fine’s rugged minimalist vibe.
