Ranked among the world's 50 best coffee shops and the only mainland Chinese cafe on that list, Metal Hands occupies a concrete-and-skylight space on the former French Concession's Nanchang Lu. The Pistachio Dirty and a seasonal cinnamon latte topped with a "sunny-side-up egg" latte art became the shop's viral signatures. Concrete walls, wooden accents, and mirror capsule barista stations make this one of Shanghai's most photographed interiors.
