Their Americano was very solid and I loved how its served almost like a Guinness with lots of foam on top AND dynamic "layers" of foam in the cup. It had that subtle sweetness after the bitterness from the coffee. I got myself an affogato. While the vanilla ice cream was pretty good with vanilla beans in it, the espresso was indeed quite strong. The coffee has seating options indoor and outdoor. They also have a row of coffee beans/roasts as well as test tubes for your smell the respective types of beans. The brown coffee tables with accents of light blue, along with the prominent coffee bean aroma, I can see myself catching up with friends here or getting some work done.

Le Pain Quotidien is a pretty good brunch place on Johnston road. It was near our Airbnb and we…read moredecided to come here. They have a large variety of brunch options and they're all very filling. Most brunch combinations come with a drink so you can also get coffee!! Their latte is pretty good. I ordered a combo that came with eggs, salmon, avocado toast and kale. My eggs and avocado toast but good but the smoked salmon was definitely my favorite part. I'm not a big fan of kale so I won't comment on how it tasted. Definitely stop by here if you're looking for a good brunch place in the area.

Wayyyy too expensive for the portion and quality…read more Went for a working lunch here with a homie, and we ordered quite a few dishes. The desserts (Tiramisu & Belgian Rustic Almond Kiss) were good! I'm a huge dessert fan, so anything sweet is right up my alley. That being said, I'm not a huge fan of the other stuff we ordered. The best dish was the Chicken Waterzooi, which was supposedly cooked in beer reduction, but just tasted really cheesy to me - which I'm ok with (also a huge fan of cheese). The other dishes we got were just plan disaster. The prosciutto tartine which was supposed to come with buffalo mozarella came without the cheese, and with a friendly hair on it. Not great. So we sent it back and got a new one, which tasted alright, but not good enough for the price. The stars are for their exceptional customer service though - the staff were friendly and super nice. Now they just have to get their food up to speed.

Missing Hong Kong and My Cup of Tea was definitely one of the spots that I will remember. It is a…read moreplace I kept recommending to friends to try and will definitely go back to one day. The two photos are from different trips, but I have tried a few things here. I have had the tomato beef macaroni, curry fish balls, French toast, and pineapple butter buns. Everything was amazing, and I think their tomato beef macaroni is my favorite here. Their Hong Kong milk tea is also perfect with just the right amount of sweetness. It is not too bitter or too sweet, just perfect (I like sweet things but not too sweet). The restaurant is a bit tight, but they do offer takeout. Even when it gets busy, customers are usually friendly and quick, especially if they see a long line and they are finishing up soon.

Very long lines here for the breakfast rush (20min wait), but indicative of the food quality (so so…read moregood and worth the wait). There's only about 20 seats, most of which are either bar seating or tiny tables), and it's incredibly cramped, but there's a quick turnaround. You can order to go for a faster line too. We ordered the milk tea, satay beef sandwich, bbq pork macaroni soup, truffle egg sandwich, and egg pineapple bao. The sandwiches were decidedly average, but we really enjoyed the egg pineapple bun! And you definitely need to get the milk tea here. The hot one is smaller and comes with condensed milk, while the cold version is larger but comes without condensed milk. Both are extremely concentrated, but delicious. If you're sensitive to caffeine though, it'll keep you up. Best of all, everything was so cheap - 160 HKD (about $20 USD). Highly recommend checking this place out!

Great place for breakfast, but you better get in early. I came to The Cupping Room this morning…read morebecause of the great reviews, but I did not expect that it would be so popular. Not long after I got in, 8:55 AM on Sunday, people started coming in droves. In fact, 15 minutes after I arrived, the place was almost full. For my breakfast, I ordered an iced green tea and the Eggs, Chorizo, Avocado and Toast. The eggs were perfectly poached and matched well with the salty chorizo. The avocados were also a nice touch. As for the tea, although I was not wowed, the presentation was quite good. On my first trio here, I also had the fortune of trying the latte which was very good. I would definitely recommend this cafe for breakfast.

This avocado toast experience really killed and surpassed my last avocado toast experience (Montauk…read more- you'll have to read my review for reference). I loveeee avocados in all forms....in tortilla soup, fried, sliced in burgers, homemade guac dip, and straight from a raw cut half sprinkled with sea salt. Just throw them at my face. I'll eat it. So I loved the combination of avocado diced with almonds, alfalfa sprouts, thinly sliced radish, and whatever else magic was on there. All that covered over one piece of sliced bread. The other slice had a perfect poached egg. A bite of egg and a forkful of avocado mix was just scrumptious. I will have to recreate that at home. Iced soy vanilla latte was dynamite! I think it kept me up while adjusting to time change since it was day 2 of traveling. Lastly, had to go with a take away dessert. The buttery baked fig dessert was gone in 4 bites. It was a little on the dry side. But I saw potential in the making....beautiful piece of baked good.

Like most specialty coffee shops in Hong Kong they also serve food. The pastry selection is limited here and choices are pretty limited. They also serve a few hot food items like avocado toast and pasta. I've had the food once and it's above average for a coffee place. Seating is limited so you can't spend too much time here hanging out. Not a place I would recommend to catch up with friends.

To my high hopes of finding this place on Instagram to coming here, the experience was slightly…read moreunderwhelming. First off, layout of the place is kind of weird. The entrance faces a couple of steps to an elevated level where the seating is. To the left of the entrance is baristas doing their thing but you can also see baristas on the second level too. So where do we go? We walked up the stairs to get seats and proceeded to the second level barista who then told us to order on the first level. Couldn't have been easier if the barista was more attentive by greeting and waiting for people to come up to order? Anyways, we grabbed the menu and decided to get some drinks as a break from walking. Since it was hot, I got an iced mocha. And honestly, nothing special. It was just satisfying to drink something sweet and cold. Hype? Maybe. Would I come back here again? Maybe if I was desperate enough to sit at a minimal looking spot and try another drink.

So this place is somewhere between a 4 and a 5 for me, having been a few times over the last few…read moremonths for really only afternoon coffee and a snack. This place shot up to a 5 for me based on eating a meal there last night. $251 HKD for two meals, a side of sweet potato fries, a glass of wine and a latte...kind of a huge value and really very good! So we popped in because we wanted something other than our standard dai pai dong up the street and/or sushi options and this place is very local and close for us. They have special that with every entree order of over a $100 you get a drink for $1. Shut the front door! My husband ordered a super cheesy grilled cheese sandwich from their grilled cheese options. I ordered a greek salad with some smoked salmon. We also noshed on some sweet potato fries. We then for a $1 each, my husband had a latte and I enjoyed a glass of red wine. The fries were hot and really good. The grilled cheese was of ample size and super cheesy. The Greek salad was a touch too simple (needed a few more olives I think to punch it up), but evenly coated with dressing and fresh. The desert case is also packed full of great looking cakes, bars and cookies and worthy of a repeat trip (prices in the case range from $68-88). They advertise a special of like $98 for a glass of Prosecco and a dessert! It appeared some couples were wandering in to enjoy this just as we were leaving. Around 7PM when we arrived on a Friday, the place was not busy at all (which I know is bad for business, but preferred by us!). It was nice to sit with the open air on the first floor and simply enjoy our time. They have upstairs seating as well and it is closed in, the downstairs part is more open to the outside elements when the weather is nice. I walk by this place almost every day and the busy feeling of brunch on the weekend or packed lunch crowd during the week is different than the quieter evening vibe. The staff was friendly, welcoming and absolutely accommodating. For $251 and a good quality meal, we will absolutely return sooner than later.

Fantastically cute, reasonably priced, well located, and yummy! Service was friendly & efficient…read more We tried 2 fresh juices, kiwi & watermelon - they were a bit pricey at $40 each for a smallish glass, but were really friggin good. Not overly sweetened and tasting of nothing but perfectly ripe fresh fruit. We also ordered one brunch and one main. Oeuf Meurette French style eggs cooked in red wine with chicken & bacon and Barramundi roasted with lime & tomato, served with smashed potato and rocket. So delicious, both. Portions were generous - 2 soft boiled eggs in the breakfast and a large cut of fish in the main. A tip: if it looks full, check up the stairs. There's an entire upstairs dining area! Will be back.
