If you want a break from your usual Starbucks and Pacific Coffee. This is the ideal place for a cup of quality latte and a piece of chocolate truffle cake. The ambiance in this coffee shop is delightful. The decor is simple, cozy and homey. It's usually crowded with people work around the area on weekdays, but it's also a great place for family and kids. There a plenty of seats, and the little sofa with cushions is my favorite spot. It really relaxes me when I want to take a short coffee break and get away from the busy office. There are a good selection of pastry, cookies and even gingerbread men cookies. I love their muffin selection including chocolate, blueberry, and oat and walnuts. They have croissant, scones, sandwich, cakes, fruit and salad pretty much all day. I like a cup of their Japanese style corn soup, raspberry mousse cake and chocolate truffle cake. The chocolate truffle cake had a great dark chocolate truffle layer and a mousse layer beneath. It's definitely my favorite. They can also make you a nice ice cream sundae if you have a sweet tooth. Coffee is miles better than Starbucks or Pacific Coffee. They do know how to make a cup of latte. There is plenty of taxi outside of the coffee shop, tons parking spots outside and in the car park next door. It's 2 min walk from Megabox or 10 min from Telford. There was lots of room for parking outside and in the car park next door. Free wifi is available, just ask them for password.

I have noticed the portion is slightly bigger if you dine in so that's what I usually do. It's a little pricy compared to the other local restaurants but you do get a better ambiance here and it's less crowded. (I prefer here over the overpriced Pret A Manger...)

The warm, ambient lighting with gentle ceiling fans creates a comfortable and tasteful atmosphere that adds to the overall experience. For the food, the Blueberry Red Velvet Cake ($48) showcased a deep wine-red color, complemented by a blueberry mousse base and a layer of cream in the middle. The delicate blueberry bits on top served as an attractive garnish. The sweetness level was moderate, but the cream layer was just too heavy and cloyingly sweet.

Perfect for a gathering when people drift in and out at different times. They have lots of outlets by the wall if you need to use your laptop. Dishes are mostly pasta, and drinks is an extensive selection of tea and coffee. Food is okay but not great. As for the books area, I'm impressed with the selection. It's not a big bookstore, but they have books in traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese, English and Japanese, arranged by subjects. If you look for books about sushi, you'll find the Japanese titles next to the Chinese ones, and you can decide whether to read Kazuo Ishiguro in English or Chinese. There is a section for German literature, Italian literature, Austrian literature, Polish literature... a level of categorization that surprised me. The cafe/bookshop is downstairs from the cinema, so shortly before or after show times, it can get busy. According to their business card, they have cafes in Beijing and Hangzhou as well.

They still are able to maintain a hipster feel with the all white facade and interior design. This review is specifically for this branch. The coffee here won't be the best that you have in town but it is definitely well above average. They also offer a batch brew black coffee in the mornings for the work crowd which is only 25 HKD. That price is a deal for good coffee in HK where coffee prices are among the highest in any city I have been to in the world.

If you're looking for a place with a surrounding that's as cute as the coffee shop itself, this would not be the place to go to. ~Ambiance The seating is solely outdoor only. There's 6 seats on the counter, but that's outside too. So there's constantly people walking, sounds of cars, and the worst part was smokers. The coffee shop itself is really cute, but I can't say the same for its surroundings. ~Service It was my first time here and the girl working was really friendly and patient with me. ~Coffee I ordered the lychee latte and I really enjoyed it!

The hostess will ask if you want to be seated inside or outside. HK humidity is no joke. No way would I be able to sip a hot one outside. The AC inside is perfect even with the open entrance.

Halfway was our occasional morning base, with solid Western breakfast fare: scrambled eggs on sourdough or avocado toast with smoked salmon and a solid latte and matcha latte. The artful plating stands out, with food and drinks served on vibrant enamelled porcelain with intricate designs. That said, breakfast here veers towards the more basic: scrambled eggs on toast with a side salad and nicely plated pink mayonnaise. The sourdough bread was a good multigrain, but overall a surprisingly standard rendition of a breakfast open sandwich. In all, a nice spot with friendly service, a modern setting, good atmosphere and solid a-okay cafe fare that is beautifully plated.

I have only been there once and was told that I could get a seat in the middle of the day was something of a miracle. To put this into perspective, this place looks no different from any cha charn tengs you will see; the only significant feature would be that it is absolutely tiny. You could fit about 30 people inside and that's about it. The opening hours are always shifting and they seem to close up at every convenience. so why is it so attractive? For that you will have to take a look at the entrance- you will see rows and rows of freshly made bread being turned out. This is a favourite amongst workers in the area as there is simply no other bakeries in this area which turns out freshly made buns like this any more. They used to be a common site but in this day and age it is simply not a practical solution. they have such a wide range on offer that most people will be willing to queue up or put up with the tiny tables that you have inside. Combining a cup of tea with one of these buns would make a perfect afternoon tea set- infact people come here around the clock and unlike other cha charn tengs people don't usually order the set menu. This tells you just how good their stuff is. Let me just pop by this afternoon..
