A tiny outpost barely a stone's throw from the original Paras, Paras Newstand does the basics; slightly pricey coffees (28rmb for a small cappuccino in a paper cup) meant for take-away and that's it. It's got a newspaper-stand aesthetic going on, with English and Chinese language dailys like Global Times and the Shanghai Daily available to read on hooks, and a couple stacks of newspapers serving as seats. There's barely any space to sit, but it's well-lit and it's got a pleasant vibe as people stand around waiting for their cup of joe. It's also pet-friendly, as they proudly announce on their door.
