Notably, the drinking culture in this city sets it apart from other urban areas, especially in the late hours. However, Macao has recently experienced a coffee renaissance with an increasing number of 24-hour coffee shops popping up. Whether you’re an exhausted office worker in need of a quick caffeine boost after your shift or a trendy hipster looking for that perfect Instagrammable cuppa to share online, join me in exploring Macao’s one and only 24-hour coffee shop.
Being the first 24-hour coffee shop in Macao, ‘Anytime Coffee’ exhibits an impressive level of ambition. This coffee shop is not just any ordinary café to grab a quick fix, but a haven for coffee aficionados who appreciate the art of roasting and brewing. In addition to its unwavering commitment to non-stop operation, the establishment boasts baristas with a remarkable eight years of experience in coffee roasting, ensuring that each cup of coffee is a testament to their dedication and skill. They take pride in their craft, painstakingly perfecting the art of roasting to bring out the best flavors in each bean. In tribute to its name, the shop offers a selection of 12 distinct flavors of coffee beans for customers to enjoy. The cafe’s interior design is as impressive as the coffee it serves. It has been carefully crafted by a team of professionals, paying close attention to every detail, and drawing inspiration from traditional Chinese medicine elements. The lighting arrangements, in particular, are worth noting, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that is both soothing and stimulating. The fusion of traditional Chinese elements with a modern coffee shop design adds an intriguing layer of depth to the overall aesthetic, making it a truly unique space. But Anytime Coffee doesn’t just stop at serving great coffee, they also want their customers to learn and appreciate the complexities of the coffee-making process. Each coffee cup is accompanied by an informative introduction about the corresponding coffee bean variety, enlightening customers about the origin, cultivation, and processing methods of the beans, effectively immersing you in the captivating world of coffee.
Anytime Coffee’s owner has said that due to its 24-hour operation, the café has attracted a significant number of students who require late-night studying during review week. Owing to the need for extended study hours, these students frequently turn to coffee as a reliable stimulant to help them stay awake and focused. The owner has observed that the café has become a haven for these students, providing them with a conducive environment to cram for their exams. And because of this, the owner has successfully mastered the exam schedule of Macau colleges and universities.
From little snacks that complement the aromatic coffees to the peaceful ambiance and convivial atmosphere of gatherings, Anytime Coffee is an ode and oasis to all those who savor the art of coffee.
