A cafe chain you probably won't be seeing in America
If you are looking for a coffee in Shanghai you can go to one of the many international cafe chains, like Starbucks, or you could go to the Taiwanese cafe chain ecoffee.
ecoffee store
I thought it was a starbucks when I first saw the shop from afar. Starbucks thinks so as well, and has filed a complaint over the matter. Here are the logos of ecoffee and Starbucks.
Like any good knock off, the coffee at ecoffee is much cheaper than at the original. A Tall Cafe Latte at Starbucks costs 25 RMB (about 3.67 USD). The same sized Cafe Latte at ecoffee costs 15 RMB (about 2.20 USD).
