Tucked within the welcoming embrace of Pujing Waiting Hotel (Shanghai People’s Square Xinzha Road Subway Station), Café Zha offers a refreshingly authentic dining experience that goes beyond the typical hotel restaurant. More than just a place to grab a meal, Café Zha is designed as a culinary crossroads where the vibrant flavors of Shanghai meet the convenience of international comfort food, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for guests and locals alike.
Located just steps from the bustling Xinzha Road Subway Station, our café is ideally positioned in the Huangpu District, the cultural and commercial heart of the city.

Our menu celebrates the rich culinary heritage of China while catering to global palates. Start your morning with a nourishing Shanghainese breakfast—savor steaming bowls of congee, delicate xiao long bao (soup dumplings), or savory scallion pancakes, all made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. For those seeking familiar comforts, we also offer a well-crafted Western breakfast buffet with eggs, toast, pastries, and premium coffee.
As the day unfolds, Café Zha transforms into a relaxed spot for light lunches and afternoon refreshments.
