Solid coffee pick-me-up on a rainy Sunday morning. The crowd included brunchers and coffee dates. I dug the decor, especially the copper-top tables. Very solid flat white. Dirty was good, too, but I'm not sure why customers would go for it (seemed boring?) but was done well. There's a 2 hour maximum and 1 coffee per person on Sunday AM.
3.5 stars. Ahhh Hong Kong. Despite all your western influences, your American breakfast dishes still leave me wanting. Perhaps they don't use the same grease to cook it? Or perhaps they just can't get their hands on the best English muffins. This place is a tad better than some of the other places. It is accessible from the back of the nearby mall, at the street level, but some directions would lead you into the mall. Do not go inside. The front is a little inconspicuous for a busy district, and its signage can easily get lost amongst all the things going on around it. First and foremost, there is no coffee shop in Hong Kong without food. Sure, you can just get coffee too, but that always seem to take a back seat to food, whether it be breakfast, lunch, or tea. I came here to have lunch with friends, and we ordered the eggs Benedict and a vegetarian breakfast, with portobello, tomatoes and spinach. All dishes came with a salad dressed with balsamic dressing. The food was average, with the eggs Benedict less bland than the vegetarian breakfast. Seriously, why would I eat out just to have some vegetarians grilled on a hot plate, which I can easily do myself? However, comparing to other similar foods I've had in Hong Kong, this place is not too shabby. I've just been too spoiled by living in a foreign country. As for the coffee, the espresso was so-so. It was bitter and required more sugar than I liked. The atmosphere of this little coffee shop is nice, and it was a good hangout place with friends, even if a bit cramped.
We ordered a spicy linguine pasta, chicken wings, pancakes with berries, and a vanilla latte. The spicy linguine pasta was so salty and sandy it was inedible. It literally burns your tongue as you eat it. And the clams were so gamey and had bits of sand in every bite. The chicken wings had that freezer burn chicken smell. The berries were sour, but the pancake itself was actually decent. The worst food I had in HK. And it was so overpriced because it is "Western" Don't come here for food. O and bring a jacket, it's freezing in there.
New find recommended by a friend. Tucked away on a small street between Nathan Road and K11. Good spot for a catchup or if you need to do a little work since they have wifi. They also have a wide variety of coffee options if you need recommendations. My friend described what type of flavor she was looking and they had a perfect recommendation. They even had her smell the beans prior to see if they suited her taste. I had one of their bottled juices, which was yummy. I saw their food and it looked pretty good, so I may return when the craving for an avocado toast calls! Good service too!
Pretty good crafted coffee in the side street in TST. Tried an iced Americano and a soft brew with the honey washed Panama bean. The Americano was made with their Ethiopia yirgacheffe which was roasted pretty spot on. I really like the citrus after taste. The soft brew with Panama bean was served with two sizes glasses. The lady barista explained they purposely served in two sizes glasses for us to experience the coffee in two temperature. We noticed a hint of black tea when it's hotter and it's more citrus when it's cold. Pretty cool idea
A lovely little getaway amongst the hustle and bustle of TST. You can still hear the loud car noises from the street when the door opens but otherwise a lovely little cafe. We popped in here for refreshment after the Christmas market at the Mariners Club. I can't say whether their coffee is good as I don't drink the stuff (didn't hear any complaints from friends) but then did have a nice selection of non coffee beverages, including chocolate, pumpkin latte, and tea, either hot or ice. Their ice chocolate was lovely and refreshing and not too rich which I liked. They have their menus in old science-y books which I think is awesome and they look to have a great selection of eats, maybe next time I will try some. They also sell their own coffee beans, mugs and mason jars along with their own shampoos (possibly coffee based but I didn't check) Staff were lovely and friendly and left us to it.
We wanted western style breakfast, and good coffee, near our hotel. This place fit the bill. Very small, but really cool looking. Nice staff. Our egg dishes were pretty good, but not served hot enough. The coffee was fantastic!
Cool aesthetic place we went for breakfast near our hotel! I got this asian-westernized fusion vibe from the clean cafe. Definitely would want to see this back home in San Diego, but I enjoyed the unique options it had. I had the Curry Potato Rosti and my dad got the Avocado Mushroom Rosy Benedict. Nothing really blew my mind, but it was enjoyable. Good coffee as well.
I searched Yelp for a good breakfast place and it led us here. Was not disappointed. Very small place, but was perfect. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was really good and the latte was amazing. Be sure to try those pink pancakes, a real treat. Only here for 2 mornings and we are thinking about going back again!!
"Probably the best americano I ever had ", my wife said! And I concur. The place is cozy and the staff is very polite. Good café.
Very good western style brunch food and vibes. We tried and liked lobster eggs Benedict and charcoal bun (photo) and pink pancakes with bananas and ice cream
Cozy and intimate with a rustic atmosphere. The restaurant called maybe 30 seats at most. The wall decor and general ambience is very peaceful. I had the eggs Benedict with avocado purée and Portabella mushroom. They poach their eggs to near perfection here. The color scheme of my dish was a little odd but nonetheless, very nicely done and delicious. The coffee has a really nice sweet and bright note to them which I found in my Americano.

It's located close to the metro and a few blocks from my hotel. I came in because I needed a real caffeine pick me up. When you walk up, it's a very cool building. Steps up to the front, and bleacher style seats next to them. Of course there are tables and chairs inside too. The girl in the front was nice and took my order, I just wanted a latte to go. Great coffee! I can't speak on the food, but they do have a nice lunch menu. Highly recommend if you're looking for a good coffee shop. read more

This little coffee shop is conveniently located next to the K11 mall in TST. Coffee shops are becoming a very popular phenomenon in Hong Kong. Alone within 2 - 3 minutes walking distance of this place there are an additional 3 - 4 coffee shops. The interior is quite stylish, the staff friendly and knowledgeable. All the classic coffee drinks are on the menu with a few innovative additions like a sweet potato latte. They also serve brewed coffee served in 2 different wine glasses. The small one is to taste and the larger one to stick your nose in to smell the coffee aroma. It's a nice gimmick. I haven't drunk brewed for a long time. I tried the Panama Esmeralda which was very good. In general the barista know what they're doing! There's free water on the table which I think is a very good idea. In addition they also have a decent selection of snacks, sandwiches and salads. The only let down is that they don't have restrooms. You have to go to the K11 for that. Still I am sure to return! read more

The ambiance is great and the decor is quaint. They bring out the menu in a book which is super cute. They have some interesting drink and food items including a sweet potato latte, which was very good, and truffle fries, which were delicious. If you have a hard time finding it just look for starbucks, it's across the street. They have free WiFi too you just have to ask for the password. read more

Great little coffee place with an amazing selection of delicious coffee, great food and friendly service. A little gem in the bustling Tsim Sha Tsui neighborhood. I'm running out of adjectives to describe their soft brewed coffee, you have to try yourselves. You get to smell the ground beans before they brew it. Paired with their impeccable breakfast it's also a very good option for brunch. read more
