This one’s more for teens, and you’ll know exactly what I mean the minute you see their menu. Since the moment our kids learn to walk on their own and start wandering around the house by themselves, parents lock up the drain cleaner, put the laundry detergent up high, and drill into our kids’ heads that certain things should never, ever go into their mouths. At PinkDojo Market’s DojoCafe, they’ve done the exact opposite.
Located in Sanlitun’s 3.3, this quirky shop sells cute novelty toys and snacks, it’s better loved for its Instagrammable backdrops. But they’ve got a cafe with an odd menu where their signature cake is a Brillo pad. The Scouring Sponge Cake makes regular feature appearances on social media.
Then there’s DojoCafe’s Sea Salt Orego Soap Mousse that’s shaped like a bar of soap. This dessert balances salty and sweet, with crunchy Oreo bits contrasting against a smooth mousse. Like the sponge, this one is also cute and quirky.
But their drinks are where, as a parent of a young child, I cringe a bit. Their Blue Velvet Coffee tries a bit too hard to resemble household cleaning chemicals…
