Curator’s note
Sherry Gao's team found a bigger room on East Colorado and turned it into a Mandarin where people sit down with the coffee, the original stand having taken its idea from the Japanese coffee stands where people grab a quick cup standing at the bar.
The Coffee
The bar pours espresso on the house blend, a daily brew until noon and a single-origin cold brew. The Sicily mixes Ethiopian cold brew with orange blossom water, lemon juice and lime zest, the affogato sets house espresso and smoked sea salt over 626 Hospitality's ube coconut ice cream, and the matcha runs from ceremonial-grade Chinese matcha in the house latte to Kettl's Uji matcha and a tonic with Japanese yuzu.
The Vibe
Mandarin 2 is a long room of birch plywood under black-framed glass with the mountains in the window, a brass-topped bar, a plywood wainscot, a long table of the same wood along the windows and the mandarin hand logo in neon by the door. Mustard-yellow stools with arched cut-out legs stand on the concrete floor at the glass, and red chairs sit on the patio outside.
