Luckin has taken over the old Starbucks at Lanhai International Plaza, turning it into a two-story space that mixes high ceilings, arched doorways, and a faint European cafe vibe with the chain’s usual efficiency. Downstairs feels like any other Luckin, quick and practical, but upstairs is where it tries something different: open reading areas and semi-enclosed corners give the sense of a shared study or quiet office, though there’s no public WiFi to distract you. Coffee prices are still the familiar 9.9rmb, which makes the boutique-style setting feel almost experimental—like Luckin testing how far it can push the idea of a sit-and-stay cafe without losing its core convenience appeal.
