The Rockbund is a cluster of historic buildings showcasing the finest examples of the diverse colonial-era architecture constructed in the early part of the twentieth century. Revitalized and restored to their former glory, the magnificent buildings today sit near a popular waterfront area on the west bank of the Huangpu River, housing office complexes, hotels, retail premises and high-end residences.

It is here, inside a gorgeous, airy space on the ground floor of the hallowed Associate Mission Building, that Arabica made our second home in Shanghai with a full-service roastery. The presence of Arabica has infused the historic district with a new energy and vibe, ensuring that architecture and coffee pilgrims are sated sensorially and aesthetically.
