Russian Oldies, Xiamen

Philip, the owner and manager at Russian Oldies, is a talented musician and music enthusiast, and it shows as soon as you enter the cafe. The walls are covered in old record covers and portraits of music's greats, from Pavarotti to Etta James. The cafe's state-of-the-art record player and extensive music collection ensure that visitors can sip coffee or have lunch to the sounds of eclectic classical tunes. If you're lucky, Philip might even break out his violin or sit at the piano for some impromptu live music. In addition to coffee, Russian Oldies serves juice, tea, beer and a few Italian dishes such as seafood spaghetti. -Lydia Schrandt
