Lili Time, a café in Shanghai, is not well-known, even to the locals. "It is a little bit special," its customers say. Some people say that they do not just go to the café for the coffee but want to experience the "special" service too.
It all began in 2013 when Zhang Lili, the owner of Lili Time, was working in her first café. One day she received a note from a customer. "I'm deaf but I really love coffee," it read. " ▲ " This customer later became the first deaf barista in her shop. And that was the beginning of Lili's story with the deaf community.
In 2019, Lili and her husband started Lili Time. Over the past few years, it has become a space filled with love. Thanks to it, more and more members of the deaf community have been able to integrate into society.
Unlike some other cafés with deaf baristas, customers here need to order their coffee by talking to the staff instead of using QR codes. The baristas speak slowly and have trouble pronouncing some words clearly. But Zhang holds on to it. "Small talks count," Zhang Lili says. She wants deaf people to talk to others because it can help them build up confidence.
At the same time, Lili Time has reached beyond the deaf community. It provides space for different kinds of charity activities. For example, it has held many free classes. In these classes, customers teach each other useful skills for free. Those who are good at taking photos teach photography skills and foreigners teach foreign languages. These activities are all centered around the idea of "everyone can help". They have never stopped and only kept growing since Day One.
Now, Lili is thinking about opening a third café. Mothers of children with special needs have come to her. They hope that her café can help their children with autism or other problems. By opening these special cafés, Lili wants to realize the wishes of more people.
