Archer Introduction
Moved to an old house next to Chongwen Park to further localize the introduction of Archer at its inception: offering serious cuisine and desserts, with an aura of unwillingness to compromise with the mundane... Now it simply states: desserts, coffee, sandwiches, straightforward yet full of imaginative possibilities. Observing Archer’s everyday posts, it is found that in addition to providing dining services, they regularly showcase vintage collections in the store, occasionally transforming into a cultural performance platform, hosting independent band performances, and even events such as markets and in-store tattooing. The founders, He-Rong and Qi-Xun, originally established brand recognition online with handmade desserts, and later rented an old apartment on Beirong Street with friends from a curated product store, operating a mixed-use space on both floors. Due to the inadequacy of the venue, they later moved to an old house surrounded by red brick walls next to Chongwen Park, set in a beautiful and leisurely environment. He-Rong mentioned that moving here was aimed at further localization. The indoor color scheme of Archer 2.0 is primarily a warm green, with old furniture and vintage items paired with green plants, decorated with feathers and classical art lamps, creating a modern yet retro space.
