Hey guys,
I’ve found another small cafe that’s within walking distance from Jing An temple. It has free wifi and 2 tables for sitting around. Another plus for me is that it serves organic snacks.. some really nice sorbet in the Shanghai summer.

I’ve been to over a dozen Starbuck’s in Shanghai and have never paid one rmb to use their wireless service. A few times I have had to get a special code from the barista for customers and sometimes they don’t even change this code daily so I have come back the next day with no problem – free internet all day (as long as I am drinking a 40rmb latte or eating a 60rmb snack).
Yes! Starbucks in Shanghai began offering free wifi this year whereas they didn’t before. I should update the post when I’m not too lazy. Cheers.
Krispy Kreme is a good place for free wi-fi. They also give you a free donut to taste.
