A unique multi- cultured meeting place, Solomon's was envisioned by the blending of ideas of an American couple and their Chinese/Indonesian/Philippine friends. The Courtyard is actually a four-story family home transformed into a multi-functional business that yet retains a homey and inviting atmosphere.

Solomon's menu has offerings not found anywhere else in Xiamen. In addition to the usual coffees, teas and fruit juices served in other coffee shops, Solomon's offers home-made baked goods created by the American part of the team. Their recipes, handed down from generations of excellent cooks, are not your standard Chinese non-sweet sweets but rather cookies, cakes and breads that have become favorites with Chinese and foreigners alike.
