You can think of a cafe in terms of many things. Does it have decent coffee? How much space is there, and how many outlets are available for you to plug in your computer? Do the owners prefer breathy pop or more of an up tempo variety of music? But perhaps, if you are one of the many people who regularly goes to a café in Beijing for several hours, you might want to consider this question: What is the bathroom like?
You say you need to choose a place to sit for a while and finish checking your students' essays, apply for jobs, work on your freelance assignments, or just mess around on the endless entertainments provided by the Internet. What if while caffeinating you suddenly find yourself in need of a restroom? You could be out of luck, especially in Beijing's hutong areas where often the only bathroom is a public one down an alley. Just as easily, you might discover a gem of a restroom. Of course you may want to consider the taste of the coffee or the general atmosphere when deciding where to go, but those aspects are secondary at best when your bladder is on the line. So, below is our list of Beijing's cafes by bathroom.
