Disclaimer: I only had the Nitro Cold Brew and as a cold brew connoisseur this is the best I've ever had anywhere in the world, and I've had many! Don't know about the food but looks good. read more

I got an iced matcha and a hot matcha here in two separate occasions! Would definitely recommend the hot more. It's so creamy! Staff is very friendly. There is plenty of indoor seating if you want to order food and eat inside. Also some outdoor seating nearby if you get takeout! read more

Love this place for food and aesthetic. Another top cafe pick for me, though this location can get pretty crowded compared to the SYP one. I've gotten the pancakes and grilled cheese here which are both good. I used to get the Swiss mocha which I loved but I'm not sure if it's still on the menu--the other coffee items here are quite nice as well though. read more

Yelp said that it would open at 11 but when I got there at 10:30 they were definitely open for breakfast. I don't drink coffee but my friend said they have great coffee here. I ordered the iced green tea and it was really tasty. I also ordered avocado, radish and poached egg on thick toast. They poached the egg perfectly and when I cut into it, the yolk oozed onto the avocado like lava. Picture time! The service was okay - I felt like the servers were a little bit spacey when I was putting in my order; was it too early at 10:30am? I would come here for breakfast again, you can't go wrong with their avocado toast.... read more

Pleasant coffee-focused cafe with lots of indoor and outdoor seats, good food, 300Mbit WiFi. Soy, oat, almond milk available for vegans. Cappuccino contains non-vegan chocolate by default. Masala chai contains animal products as well. High-quality coffee and friendly service, usually quite slow. read more

The first time I came here, I was immediately amazed by how good the music quality (sound and also choice) was. Then I looked around, there was a pair of Devialet speakers, which are some of the best in the market currently. Experience started off well. Anyway, got the Salmon Donburi and Swordfish Donburi and man was I happy as I ate. It was really asthetic when it was served, with a balance of fish and veggies with corn, while the egg was in the center ready to burst. The egg was very runny and great, while the salmon was torched just enough for the outside to have a slight crisp while the inside giving the pleasant sashimi-feel to it. The corn complimented the fish and rice well, and everything was topped with coarse salt which gave an occasional surprising crunch! Ordered the Nitrobrew Coffee, and it was a really well balanced drink with the strongness of the coffee and coldness to it. However, I couldnt really justify the price for it, since it was essentially a cold brew coffee with some foam on top. I enjoyed it and think the drink is amazing though. Overall, really amazed with the food, drinks, and also the ambiance of the place with the speakers, bright lighting and nice furnishing. Giving this place a 5 for the great food. And something just makes me want to come back to this place, even made some suggestions to the manager (owner? not sure!) for more low-carb options while keeping the great protein offerings they have. See if the menu changes anytime, and I can come back for a try. read more

I went to the Gough Street location right when it opened and became an instant fan of their artisanal coffees. It was an absolute gem. 5 stars hands down. As soon as they opened their Fashion Walk CWB location, fit with more food and delicious treats, I couldn't wait to try EG again! I had a coffee date with my aunt, and luckily she found a table for us inside. It was raining, so no one was seated outside, but I plan to return when the weather's good. Seating was a bit cramped, but we managed to enjoy our conversation, amidst the buzz of voices and music overhead. Food/Beverage: Good solid flat white and cappuccino! 5 stars for the artisanal ice cream - Rose Water Rhubarb (which came topped with dense pink marshmallow)! Service: Quite disorganized. Waitstaff got our orders confused not once, but twice! I ordered a flat white, while my aunt ordered a cappuccino. My flat white arrived first, but after 5 minutes, the cappuccino still didn't arrive. I asked them to kindly follow up on the cappuccino, and for some strange reason, they brought out two! Similar thing happened when we ordered ice cream. At first we only ordered one scoop of the rose water rhubarb vanilla ice cream, to share. But seeing how delicious it looked and tasted upon its arrival, my aunt also wanted one for her own. Yet again, it was taking an awfully long time for the ice cream to be served. Did they run out? Was there no one serving ice cream? We were both puzzled. Nevertheless, it gave us more precious time to catch up. After almost 15-20 minutes, I went up to the counter check with them. I said, "We had ordered a second scoop of the rose ice cream. Could you please check? As we have not received it." I suppose some words got lost in translation and 5 minutes later, two servings of the rose ice cream were brought to us. I wouldn't have minded the extra scoop as it was lip-smackingly delicious, but bear in mind, it's HK$45 per scoop. Not the cheapest in town. So, please Elephant Grounds, I love your coffee and food a lot, but please improve your customer service. read more

I have to say I like the vibe of the shop the most. It's a great place to sit down (w/ or without someone), listen to some music, do some work, have a conversation, etc. I do think the music can get a bit loud at times but that's me being picky. There's also outdoor seating so I'd imagine it's quite comfy when not in the middle of summer. Their menu is well thought out. It's diverse while keeping the focus still on coffee. They have beer, whiskey, tea, and a seasonal menu with more creative drinks, as well as food offerings. Their burger wasn't too bad. My go to espresso wherever I go is either a Piccolo or flat white. Their espresso is a bit on the milder side. While my drinks are creamy and smooth I do wish the code was a bit bolder, nuttier, more chocolate. It could just be personal preference? They do take care in making a pretty consistent cup though so bravo to them! read more

I have been following Elephant Grounds on Instagram for MONTHS! I finally got down to the cwb branch to sample their delights this morning. I wasn't disappointed as the food looked and tasted as good in real life as it does online. Firstly, may I just point out that we went looking for a latte before hitting the lunar new year market. As we eyed up the coffee menu, my aunty and I looked at each other and both felt like it would be a waste to settle for a simple latte considering their delightful array. She opted for a salted caramel latte and I ventured forth with the French vanilla. They coffee was delicious! Best cup I've had in a while. The French vanilla was sweet and smooth. Perfection. There is also a great selection of brunch items to choose from. My dining companion chose the lavender cream cheese and honey toast and I went for the avocado toast. The dishes were tasty indeed, and I was surprised that the honey went so well with lavender cream cheese (although we did scrape away some of the lavender as it was a touch over powering). My avocado toast was good, however sadly the avocados were a little under ripe. But boy did they boss it with the eggs. Perfectly oozey as soon as I put my knife to it! Hells yeh I'll be back again! read more

Tried both the taro and banana party ice cream. Both were too sweet and weak in flavor. Questioned the manager as to why there is no banana flavor in "banana party", he explains the name is just a name...nothing to do with flavor. I cannot speak for the food, but this place seems quite popular for those about that instagram life. If you enjoy ice cream for their taste, best to find something else. read more

Food: mediocre; nothing special but not terrible. Service: lacking. Waiters and waitresses stood around chatting. Location: conveniently located at the heart of Causeway Bay (Fashion Walk). I would come back again for the sake of convenience but not for the food. read more

Elephant Grounds - Salmon donbori and chicken salad - Cafes Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

Located in the ever stylish Fashion Walk, this place was and still a go-to for KOLs and rich kids who just came back from overseas. Food options change all the freaking time so slightly frustrating. More than once I wanted to get the açai bowl, but it's only served in the morning of certain day. How unpredictable it is has grown to frustrate me. Also the music is soooo loud, are we in a club? The coffee is good. read more

Quite busy on a Saturday afternoon The Mexican corn was decent but needed some lime. (New York's Cafe Habana's Mexican corn is still the best) The avocado salmon poke here was too salty. Taro chips salt was nit scattered evenly The nitro brew was on the acidic side read more

The moment I entered this place, I fell in love with the vibe. It's the type of cafe you'd love to hangout in with or without friends. Love the music, the look and the menu. It serves diner dishes minus the guilt of all the oil, fat and unwanted calories. For brunch we ordered corned beef hash which came with greens (Brussel leaves) two perfectly poached eggs and it wasn't too oily, pancakes which came with berries and a homemade maple syrup that was not too thick or sweet and a grilled cheese sandwich which came with tomato soup and a side salad. Will definitely try their hand crafted coffee on my next visit. I highly suggest trying this place out! Both the place and the dishes are very photogenic :) read more

Loved it! My husband and I were visiting HK last month and stumbled upon this little coffee shop. We ended up going again on another day but it was just so yummy. Our takeaways: - The vibe here is fun, clean, and decor is like rustic meets modern. - Free wifi! - The service was amazing both times we were here. - I had the macchiato and a chai latte. Both delicious! read more

It seemed quite full in the afternoon on a Wednesday but, we surprisingly got some seats inside. The Impossible Taco Fries was definitely delicious and the Chai latte that I had was spot on! Definitely going back again read more

After landing in Hong Kong at 7am and not being allowed to check in till 2pm, I decided to kill some time by coming here for breakfast. I got here just after opening, so it wasn't particularly busy. They have quite an extensive coffee choice, most I had never heard of. I opted for the "bulletproof" one. Breakfast choice was a bit limited, but I decided to go hipster and have the avocado and poached egg toast and some freshly squeezed OJ. Service was quick. The bulletproof coffee was interesting. It was made with coconut milk and had butter in it (and probably other stuff too). The food tasted good and was nicely presented. The orange juice was disappointing. read more

Tired of eating Chinese food , we searched through Instagram for a cafe that was close to where we were located and found this nice cafe with a rustic feel. The kale with quinoa salad was surprisingly awesome! We loved it. We also tried the Fried Chicken that was so tasty that made us order the tap beer. read more

Nice and simple cafe, with very good coffee. My French Vanilla tasted very good. Vanilla taste was very mature and luckily not Starbucks-Sweet-Candy like. read more

Can get very busy during the day but cosy environment with friendly stuff. Probably not the best place to chill alone if you want to get some work done on the comp- tad loud. But great vibes and great coffee. Totally loved the bulletproof coffee- americano with coconut oil and butter. Worth a try! read more

I am writing this review upon finishing a refreshing Cold Osmanthus Oolong Brew. Previously, I have come to the Elephant Grounds to share ice cream with a friend, and I was very impressed by the aesthetic presentation of our dessert (the cute wooden spoon was definitely a perk). Today, I came to get some work done and get a drink. I will say that this cafe is not for those who are looking for the quiet coffee shop vibe; the music is mainly upbeat pop, and it is a popular place with nearly every table filled past lunch time. I really enjoy the aesthetic of Elephant Grounds (earthy, neat, wooden accents) and the quirky, colorful art on the walls (skateboard installations!). There is an outdoor and an indoor area to sit in, and there are also outlets in some of the benches! Great if you want to work on your computer and need to charge your various devices. The one drawback of Elephant Grounds is that you can't really customize/play with your order. For example, replacing a starch with a salad, or holding the syrup in your drink. I usually like to tweak my meal or drink a bit, but I have been politely declined at the Elephant Grounds in both CWB and Admiralty. In addition, it takes a while to be served - the waiters are usually waiting for you to flag them down. That being said, I do recommend visiting Elephant Grounds if you are looking for an aesthetically-pleasing coffee shop with particularly creative and yummy artisanal ice cream! read more
