Stumble upon this cozy coffee x brunch spot while staying in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong. Why 50 Cafe is…read moredefinitely a gem, with friendly service, a relaxing atmosphere, and great place to catch up with friend(s). My friend and I shared the 50 Brekkie. 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!

Their interiors are Clean, simple and much neater than its nearby surroundings which means once you enter you feel 'safe' from the hustle and bustle. Rawnola or their jam on toast are my go to items when I do have a little bit of time in the mornings, and at lunch AVOCADO on toast!!!! So amazing!

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.

Demure in size but serious on the caffeine is The Brew Job, one of the better coffee spots in…read morewestern Kowloon. Only a stone's throw away from the Olympia Station, this place is so small that it's easy to miss. For folks looking for a quiet place to chat or some caffeine with a side of WiFi, this place fits the bill. Bear in mind, The Brew Job is no Starbucks. There is no indie music or up and coming artists playing in the background, or a fancy gift card for future purposes. The layout is narrow with super small tables and an even smaller tiny counter. Conversations are bound to be overheard, the smell of the coffee will permeate the room, and patrons are typically in and out constantly. Thankfully the staff is both efficient and friendly. It's a cash only operation, but it's nice knowing they also take Octopus cards. While the cappuccino and ice coffee are my go-tos (under $40), the real motivation for being here is their reasonably fast WiFI and solid, intimate meeting space. There is a parking garage across the street and some bicycle parking areas for commuters. Don't come here in a group of course, but for solo sipping and/or some intimate conversation, this is a quality neighborhood spot.

I stumbled across this cafe on my way from the train station to the hotel on my first day of…read morearrival and ended up enjoying a good breakfast every single morning. It is quite a small place and recommended to groups larger than 3 people. The espresso is quite mild and slightly sour with a tense of fruit aroma. I tried most of the bagels and ciabatta with salmon and pastrami. Breakfast takes some time as everything is prepared freshly. This is definitely a good place to slow down in a busy city and the place to go for people who appreciate third generation coffee.

2.5 stars for breakfast 4 stars for ambiance- it's super…read morecute Had Sunday brunch here while on business. It was dead empty except for two other tables (one with two tourists and the other with a local man...I assume). Two other tourists sat down during my brunch but read the menu and left. I ordered the waffles with ham and it came with a side salad. The food was OK. It was an HK take on western food and the waffles came plain with no topping so it was a little bit dry for my North American palette. Towards the end of my meal I discovered a live slug in my salad. I flagged the waitress to ask for the bill (because I was NOT going to continue eating) and showed her the slug. She said "oh sorry" but that was about it. She did not offer any kind of compensation and brought me the full bill with no further explanation or apology for the slug. It was like it didn't happen. As mentioned before this place was empty for brunch. However, in the late, late afternoon/early evenings I noticed it would be packed. Perhaps this place is better for coffee and dessert. One other thing to mention is they have free wifi but when you ask for the password they won't give it to you. They will insist they enter it on your phone themselves. I don't generally like strangers touching my phone because I don't know what they may do. I guess they have never thought of changing the wifi password daily... Tip: Don't sit next to the plants. It's fruit fly city.

While looking to bookmark some cool coffee places in Hong Kong, I saw many IG reels for this spot…read more I came specifically for the pretty cups. 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. The furniture has that old Chinese antique with lots of 80s tchotchkes. Here is what we ordered: - Longan Honey Latte (iced & hot) - Black Sugar Latte (hot) All of our drinks were excellent as was the service. Great place to relax and chit chat with your friends. Restroom is available in the back.

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.

We were actually looking for a different coffee shop and couldn't find it and so stumbled into this one & it was SO fortuitous. Their iced coffee is fab. We also got ham & cheese croissants and they were really delicious. There are a few seats downstairs but a bunch more seating upstairs. Everyone was super friendly. Later in the afternoon we were in the area again, trying once more to find the coffee shop we couldn't find in the morning, and we did finally find it but then discovered they didn't take cards (arrrrg) so we happily went back to Noc (where they do take cards, thank you very much). This time we got hot coffee & shared a slice of orange cake. Totally reco this place!

Little seating on the ground level and enough, one level up. Only another couple besides me when I walked in up here, it's starting to fill up. Coming to the place, I like the fact that they have sugar containers here instead of the sugar satchet, which I feel are such a waste of resources. They have the classic cup and saucer for the coffee with a little sleek spoon. I love clean design and this place is all that. More photos and details to follow on my blog. Link in profile.
