A great start to the day! - We had a lovely morning with Angela as we had many tasty treats and coffee. Our favorites were the scallion pancake, soft rice coffee and soup dumplings. Angela was so kind at offering help after the tour and truly was a delight.

Great introduction to Shanghai breakfast! - I love the Shanghai breakfast tour! It was interesting to see different foods that I had never seen or had the nerve to try by myself. I'll be revisiting these places since they were so tasty!! I also enjoyed the element of pet-friendly coffee places. ◡̈ It was a great introduction to another side of Chinese food that a lot of people aren't privy too.

Amazing tour with Emma! - Waking up early on a weekend is completely worth it when you're on a LostPlate Shanghai coffee and breakfast tour! I thoroughly enjoyed my time trying new places (and I've been in Shanghai for 9 years, and ate things I've never tried before!) as well as in the company of the other guests and our tour group leader, Emma! My senses were sufficiently filled as we walked through the Shanghai streets and I nearly had to be rolled home from the amount of food I had. 10/10 and I highly recommend if you're in Shanghai looking for a morning activity!

Best way to know Shanghai - I got the opportunity to participate to the brekfast food tour and Emma, our tour guide, made all the experience amazing. The food was great and that’s a great way to know Shanghai and its culture too. Our tour guide was silly the best, she explains the history of each restaurant and stall as well as the dishes. I definitely advice to partecipate in Lostplates food tour!

Delicious food + Great coffee + Amazing host (Angela) ! - Awesome way to kick off the first morning of my Shanghai trip! Angela was our host and she was super fun and knowledgeable on all the cuisine and Shanghai culture / history in general! Learned a lot and had great conversations, all while enjoying delicious food and coffee. Highly recommend!

All the Shanghai food highlights, and a sampling of great coffee (dog patting optional) - A really nice walk through a great leafy neighbourhood, with loads and loads and loads(!) of good food. It ranged from holes in walls to a nice place to sit, and Lost Plate really tried to give us the Shanghai highlights. Perfect for people in a rush who may not have time to investigate all that Shanghai has to offer. I must admit that I chose this specifically because there was coffee included, and I'm so glad I did, with Shanghai's great coffee culture. Both cafes are dog-friendly, with *fantastic* coffee, so as a dog-loving coffee fan, this was the perfect. I also loved that there were "Lost Plate specials".

Perfect for traveling foodies - We LOVED our tour with Angela. It was a perfect way to start our time in Shanghai as we discovered breakfast snacks that we’d be able to find the rest of our time. Perfect for traveling foodies.

Lost Plate smashed it - zero wrong moves! - Breakfast stops were amazing - we liked everything we ate. Even the things we didn't expect to like were exceptional! DELICIOUS! They really know their Shanghai stuff! Our guide, Emma, was also really good at making us feel comfortable and was so passionate and cool - she is clearly super well traveled and knowledgeable and passionate about exploring!

Guide Angela was the best! - This tour was amazing! We got to try so many different foods that we would have never been able to order on our own. The guide's know-how was amazing and we got to see some really authentic spots. Highly recommend!
