This is one of the specialty coffee shop in HK that also cater food items, which makes it a great spot for brunch. We had the Gibraltar and cappuccino, both with their house blend. They use Hokkaido milk which is a plus. The expresso were well extracted. I believe the barista were very cautious about how the customers treat the coffee. She kept on insisting the coffee shouldn't add sugar and stuff. It's somewhat annoying to specialty coffee drinkers. But I guess the HK coffee culture is too Americanize... milk + sugar

Love the interior decor of La Station - reminiscent of the NYC subway station (hence the name, "La…read moreStation")! The cafe itself is quite small, with limited seating. My friend and I were originally seated at the bar, a bit cramped due to our large carrying bags, but luckily a high table opened up and we moved there. We ordered the following: - Blackbeard Secret (Coca-Cola with a shot of espresso) $40 - Definitely not what I expected at all. Interesting combination, but not particularly fond of it. - Rose Latte $45 - Best I've tasted in HK! Very delicate and delicious! You can taste the rose flavor, which I enjoyed very much. I suppose you can say I'm going through a rose-flavor phase, from my previous review, haha. - Orange Caramel Mocha $45- I was concerned that the caramel would make it too sweet, but it was just right. I love the combination of anything with orange and chocolate, so this was right up my alley. - Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting - absolutely divine. - Almond croissant - sublime. The food was served on a cute wooden board. The almond croissant was warmed up, perfect. Overall a great place to catch up with friends and enjoy some delicious coffee and treats!

I'm surprised to see reviews praising the coffee here. I tried both the cappuccino and the latte…read moreand they are unequivocally bad. My rating is based on the following: Coffee: 1.5 stars Environment: 3 stars The cappuccino had no foam what so ever and even with the milk the bitterness of the coffee really cut through. The coffee is strong so if you need a pick me up this would do. Using Starbucks as a baseline for average. This coffee is below that standard. The latte wasn't much better. The coffee was really bitter and you don't get any silky smoothness from the milk. Had a hard time finishing my drink. I drink black espresso all the time so it is not because I'm not used to drinking stronger coffee that my opinion is this way. The decoration of the place is cool, but the place is really cramped. They also only have high chairs with small tables. Sitting there for more than a few minutes was not enjoyable. There are so many better coffee choices in Wan Chai.

When I saw the word 'brekkie', I immediately thought of Australia - it means 'breakfast' in their lingo. I'm thinking this cafe is possibly be Australian inspired :) This dish was prepared by the lady behind the counter with a small portable stove. I can feel the love as she delicately prepares this for us! We also ordered the Lavender Latte and the Matcha Magic. What is a Matcha Magic you ask? It is a Matcha Latte with a shot of espresso! Perfect for those who loves Matcha but also needed that caffeine boost lol. The Lavender Latte, surprisingly, does not have the usual overpowering lavender kick... it was very light and soothing. Recommendation: Would Why50 consider making a Lavender Mocha? ^^ Chocolate actually goes well together with the lavender taste ;) Keep up the great work!

Well, Cafe Corridor is pretty hidden, and almost a "hole in the wall", at the end of a ground floor entrance across from Times Square. My friend ordered a Brazilian Single Origin Pour Over and I got a Rose Latte. I quite enjoyed the cozy environment and was very reminiscent of coffee shops I used to frequent in the US. There is no Wi-Fi so it's a fair incentive for you to socialize and enjoy a coffee with your friends instead of being connected. The bathroom could be better maintained, but not much to expect from a place like this. Will return to try their breakfast and pastries!

2.5 Stars for the coffees…read more There is a lot of fanfare and positive reviews for Care Corridor. . First off, it is a bit hard to find if you don't look closely, so I supplied a picture of what the entrance looks like. The Corridor itself is cool, and once you enter its a quaint little shop, maybe 7 tables. It is not a bright store, maybe a bit more divey ambiance. As you've seen other posts, there is a great "No Wifi" picture, suggesting we talk to the people we came with and for that I'm adding a .5 star :) We all need to be reminded to enjoy the moment more, not necessarily your gadgets. They do serve food, but we only had coffee. They definitely know their coffee drinks and give suggestions if you ask. Both drinks were good, however, not hot and maybe just above warm? Maybe it was meant to be that way? I'm not sure because the employees don't really follow up to make sure you are satisfied and seem a bit coffee snobby. I'll confess though our specialty drinks were firsts, nowhere have I had/seen them before so maybe they are not meant to be "hot." Seem to be alot of tourists or expats coming in here. There are 4-5 other coffee shops that receive alot of notoriety along with Cafe Corridor. Am I happy I came, saw, tasted? Yes. Will I go out of my way to come back? No.

Interior is as expected for a cafe of this type, though the service is a bit minimal due to the crowds. The latte is good although a bit small in serving size. Avocado sandwich is on point, presented with a fresh side salad, and beautifully plated. It was also surprisingly filling as most cafes tend to skimp on their portions. Definitely a great place to eat when you want a break from your HK style cafes or simply wanting to get a great cup of coffee.

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.
