Was served three ricotta pancakes ($118 hkd) with blueberries, syrup and bananas. Although the portion was small, the fluffiness of the pancake and light sweetness of the syrup made the dish de-lish! If you go before 11am on mon-fri you get a choice of one of four drinks- i opted for the lemon tea with charred lemons (makes a big difference!!). They also had mint infused water near the bar area, and a separate two floor area for seating, accessible by walking out and around the left corner into a separate below space. Mason jar lights dangle from the ceiling and a light teal wall and yellow flowers brightens the room. My friend and I sat here for a little over an hour sketching the space. They give you a buzzer that beeps when ur food is ready for pick up- my pancakes took around 20 min, as there was a group of 5 in front of me. The bathrooms clean, the service is good, and their playlist is indie coffeehouse! Not crowded on a Monday around 10. A great place!

Stopped by The Farm Cafe on a chilly morning for a hot meal. The space was very cozy and had a…read morerustic feel. The male worker greeted me with a warm welcome and instantly made me feel at ease eating alone (something that I used to feel uncomfortable doing). The breakfast menu was a bit small but offered a good variety of options. I got the satay beef spaghetti with ham and egg omelet and bread and butter for $34. Of course, it came with a hot drink so I chose milk tea. I liked how everything tasted very light and healthy, which is very suitable for breakfast. However I do think the satay beef spaghetti has room for improvement - maybe more satay sauce in the soup. The omelet is very thin but a good portion when you consider the rest of the meal. I'd love to come back during a different time of the day to see what else this place offers.

It was a little bit of a let down, feeling like everything was out of a jar and then the sausage was cold. Apparently this is the way it is supposed to be served but I wasn't so fussed on it. On the other hand their drinks are very well made. And they have lots of options for non coffee or tea drinkers like myself.

The store is small but there are plenty of seatings in the common area outside the cafe (indoors). Soul Cafe offers breakfast and lunch. Breakfast is the like of egg, ham, oatmeal, waffle and egg benedict, while for lunch pasta, salad and some breakfast favorites. A lovely surprise to find perfectly done scramble egg here: tender, slightly runny and fluffy. A must for every visit. Benedict is excellent as well. Great value I also am totally in love with their coffee: rich, thick, aromatic and with little acid, it rivals many of the best coffee shops. Even though it does not have the best ambiance, the price is great and some days we come here just for the perfect cup of coffee.

We chose a small table outside, a Café Americano for me, and a tuna salad on a baguette to share. The coffee was good, but there was no artificial sweetener available. The sandwich was outstanding, though, with the kind of tuna salad I wish I could find in the supermarket delis in Vegas. And the superb baguette also had me longing for what I miss from the East Coast - a crunchy exterior. Sigh. It was the perfect pick-me-up after a long day of walking through the streets of Kowloon and Tsim Sha Tsui.

There were a few tables enjoying a late lunch and some coffee. To be honest, I came for the 3D latte art. Yes, it's definitely cool and worth it price tag once. But the coffee wasn't that special frankly and the location of this cafe isn't convenient whatsoever. The window seat view also isn't spectacular, but it's definitely an environment you can sit and relax in for a good while, especially on the weekends.

I eventually became a regular while keeping my expectations dialed low (#1) and learned to appreciate this place for what it was: a laid back cafe in the heart of SSP. At first, my visits were strictly to kill time, drink a little something, and get lost in internet space with their speedy WiFi, but I eventually graduated to spending copious amounts of time here while experimenting with their food options, while even holding a few business meetings here. Whenever I was in SSP, this eventually became my home away from home. It was like being in (a narrow room in) the US, but without all the commercialism. The interior is pretty tight; many folks who are working / studying (in addition to dining and sipping) are usually by themselves. It doesn't get too crowded in here even during peak hours, which is why I enjoyed coming here so often. The service is surprisingly great. The owner, Michael is extremely hospitable and the rest of the staff is very welcoming, amiable, and efficient. For expats who are coming here for a little breakfast nostalgia (especially their ever popular "all-day breakfast" for $88HKD), keep your expectations tapered in knowing the food will naturally be served in HK portions and tastes. Don't forget to enjoy one of their lovely mochas either inside (#2) or in their limited outdoor seating. ___________ (#1) Because ... western food in Hong Kong. (#2) Because ... AC.

I've visited a few more times since my last review, so I thought it would be a good idea to revise…read moremy review to include content about some of their other offerings. I've tried their nicoise sandwich and it was great overall, though it felt a tad dry. The sandwich true to its name does contain tuna and slices of boiled egg, but I think I may have overestimated how much I like tuna sandwiches or any kind. I tried their Jivara chocolate lime, which is another one of those less conventional cakes, where it's more mascarpone and curd than sponge. A coworker of mine joked that the cake looked a bit like a giant malteser, and I suppose she's right. It does, though it's resting in a chocolate shortcrust cup-shaped base (see attached photo). More recently, I've tried their mocha and Mille feuille. He mille feuille was wonderfully crisp, and the caramel, was whipped beautifully so it wasn't overly dense or sweet. That being said, it seems that I still don't know how to eat one properly, since I made a pretty grand mess of the pastry. Their mocha is good. It isn't very sweet, so it makes me feel a bit less guilty about eating a really sugary cake/pastry, but I like the latte more. I felt that the chocolate was to a certain extent masking the scent and flavour of the espresso, so I will probably stick to the latte from now on; to a certain extent I've often seen myself more as someone to enjoy more plain and subdued flavours like vanilla over stronger flavours like chocolate.
