It's hard to discern one coffee house for another, especially given the hold that the two biggest HK players have on us. However, Filter's Lane on Caine Road, a small independent coffee house, does a good job standing up to the big boys, both in the coffee offering, and the general ambience and service. They are total coffee purists at Filters Lane, to the point of being snobby unfortunately. They roast their beans in-house, in the roasting machine in the shop window - yep, that's a piece of working kit. They then hand-drip filter each cup for you. Goodness knows what that means, but there seems to be some sort of art in passing water through coffee grounds to make a drink. To be fair, the coffee there is very tasty, and you will taste the difference between theirs and other chain stores. Normally I take my coffee as black americano, just coffee bean and water. However, at Filters Lane, the richness and strength of the coffee means I have to have it as a latte, otherwise it gets far too strong and bitter. The other quirky thing I like about Filters Lane is the food. It is sort of Japanese inspired, and made in house by the Korean chef. Sure there are home-made cakes, tarts, muffins, etc., but the sandwich and hot food selection definitely has a Japanese bent. I am particularly fond of the tonkatsu chicken sandwich with wasabi mayo - yummers, just needs to be bigger! It's a really chilled out place, could do with a little more soft furnishings - lots of high tables, not enough sofas. Isn't the cheapest place in the world, for that you'll have to go to the chains, but affordable. There's also a lot of information about coffee and the provenance of their coffee in the store, so you at least have something interesting to read.

Cute little corner

I ordered a latte and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was 48$hkd for my large latte - large is the size of a Starbucks tall. Tasty, balanced, and goes down smooth. Their pastries and food choices don't look too yummy so I skipped it. I think they could improve this.

Good coffee, quiet ambiance, away from tourists. Good place to come to on a Sunday afternoon

Flat white

Although this cafe sitting on Caine Road is noisier than the other cafes at Tai Ping Shan Street, I like this place for its banana chiffon cake and the wide variety of coffee they have. The traffic outside gets better in late afternoon during weekend, and its quite enjoyable to do some reading. Staffed by young locals, the flat white is surprisingly good. Also, not located at the hippest area making this cafe less busy and I dun have to worry occupying their seats for too long. ;P

nice presentation

Very good coffee! Not as cool as the other coffee shops in the area but the one that serves the best coffee.

The Flying Pan - eggs ben with salmon on muffins

Western food! The…read moreflying pan has very reasonable prices, poor coffee, mediocre food, and good service. I ordered the salmon Benedict, Kenzie the pepper and onion Benedict. The eggs being over cooked, had a non runny yolk. I ordered sides of baked beans and corn grits which were both fine. Our plates came out with the sides switched up. Not a big deal. Not bad for a western breakfast in Hong Kong. Not great either. I've had better western breakfast in Shanghai, though you would think Hong Kong being the international hub it is, would have even higher standards for western foods. Eggs Benedict: 85HK. Unlimited coffee: 35HK. Using a restaurants own WiFi to post a 2 star review about them: Priceless.

I visited the Flying Pan for a quick breakfast before heading off to work, and first impressions…read morewere good- it's a small, but low-key place, and while the menus are a bit much to look at, the food was just right. I went with an Eggs Guacamole and a mango juice and I thought it was all pretty awesome overall. The food isn't overly expensive, you get fairly generous portions, and they definitely don't skimp on your free sides. The potatoes were a tad dry and I probably wouldn't go with them the next time around, but their grits aren't half bad. Hollandaise sauce is thick, yet runny, and the eggs were poached perfectly. The guacamole was offered in generous portions, and the only thing that I could possibly say they weren't generous with, in terms of portion size was my juice. That's fine though. I'll definitely be back to try a few other menu items.
