A bit expensive but inside a nice hotel. Two large iced lattes were about HK$100, but the sweetness of the milk was nice. Definitely gave me the caffeinated buzz I needed to take on the city! read more

Both were soooo good, hot or cold. I don't think the macaroni/ham soup or the egg ham toast were anything special, and would not bother ordering these again. The place is super popular, but the line moves quick. You may be seated with strangers at the same table (seems to be common practice in busy HK restaurants). Service was questionable, but I also saw a video online that they are purposely (& famously?) rude to the customers. What made me laugh was that we had barely sat down (my butt touched the seat for 0.1 second) and the waiter already wanted our order. When we said we needed extra time to go over the menu first, we got a bit of a death stare from the waiter. Their concept seems to be "come in, eat right away, and get the hell out!" I had been forewarned by my friend about the service here though, so I wasn't surprised. I'd still come again just for the pudding.

One thing to keep in mind, you might need to share table with other customers. I ordered the classic meal, macaroni with soup and ham, with scramble eggs, and buttered bread on the side. This meal also comes with a drink, and I ordered Hong Kong milk tea. The milk tea was smooth and authentic. If you want to experience 'Hong Kong' culture, this is the place for you.

Because it's on the 6th floor, it offers quite a relaxing arial scene. There are three rows of small coffee tables closely arranged together. It looks a bit tight, and you can't really walk in between rows with hitting the tables. I ordered an Irish coffee. I'm not a big fan of this Irish beverage, but just decided to try something unusual for a decent price HK$59 (=US$8). The coffee is quite flavorful (kind of between mild and bold), but the whisky part is definitely distinct, at least to someone that normally drinks regular coffee or latte. The servers are very friendly and courteous. Overall, I enjoyed the break there.

The entrance faces a couple of steps to an elevated level where the seating is. To the left of the entrance is baristas doing their thing but you can also see baristas on the second level too. So where do we go? We walked up the stairs to get seats and proceeded to the second level barista who then told us to order on the first level. Couldn't have been easier if the barista was more attentive by greeting and waiting for people to come up to order? Anyways, we grabbed the menu and decided to get some drinks as a break from walking. Since it was hot, I got an iced mocha. And honestly, nothing special. It was just satisfying to drink something sweet and cold. Hype? Maybe. Would I come back here again? Maybe if I was desperate enough to sit at a minimal looking spot and try another drink.

This Starbucks…read moreright by the Nathan Hotel is honestly a lifesaver when you just need to duck out of the humidity, grab some AC, and recharge. It's easily one of the better, most well-run locations I've been to. From the street, it looks like a standard storefront, but once you head inside, it completely opens up. It's deceptively big with a massive seating area in the back. Because it's a bit tucked away compared to the packed spots further down in TST or Mong Kok, it's actually an excellent setup if you need to catch a breath or get some quick work done. Just a heads up for anyone looking to connect: they give you a Wi-Fi activation code printed right on your receipt, which hooks you up with 30 minutes of solid, fast internet. The coffee is exactly what you expect--consistent, fast, and high-quality. The baristas here are super efficient, handle the morning rush well, and make ordering a breeze. Perfect, spacious sanctuary to take a breather when you're out exploring Kowloon.

I stumbled upon this little coffee shop when I took a little stroll next to Olympian City (Yup, under the burning heat but no regret) You will not expect that you may find this place in a region where mostly every other shops on the street are rather old but that is the beauty of it. This place is really cozy and relaxing since it is not located in the most crowded street in Mongkok, there are not that many customers, which definitely makes this a perfect place for chilling. The coffee is freshly made and even though one particular coffee branch is just one block away, it tastes much better and is served by a very friendly barista. Personally, I love the taste of hazelnut and every time I go there, a good old iced hazelnut latte makes my day. It is creamy and of the right amount of milk so it is not too milky. They also serve cakes but I prefer the coffee to cakes. Go have a look before this place becomes THE place and you may need to get in line next time you come!

The menu has a nice selection of teas, including fresh milk teas. My dad got their oolong fresh milk tea which was delicate and floral, and my TKY fresh milk tea had the perfect balance of strong, deeply earthy TKY tea and fresh milk for a bold yet silky blend. I also like the fact that they use paper cups instead of all the plastic standard of milk tea shops. (If they use no lids or straws, or paper ones, that would be even more environmentally friendly). Service is efficient, the space is clean and has some seating by the windows as well as space for standing, and it's an all-around satisfying visit. It's not cheap, with the TKY fresh milk tea at $32, but nothing beats a refreshing, high-quality cup of milk tea.

The price here is similar to Starbuck which is just two shops aside, but what you can get extra is the quiet and comfort environment. As you may know I'm not a fan of Starbuck, it is too popular in Hong Kong, what they called a place to relax and gathering with friends, blahh, never work. So, go check this café when people in Jordan are all squeezing into the tiny Starbuck, you can always find a seat, and I mean sofa seat or window-side seat (Surprise!) I love this cafe because hotel knows privacy, plenty of spaces are provided between seats, you will not feel the tense between other customers. It is a place I can work whole day without disturbance, oh, and not to mention the free wifi! The coffee is good and wait staff are nice, so what can I ask for more? Oh yes, one point need to be added, as a café of Eaton hotel, you can also allow to use the super clean and tidy washroom located next to lobby, what a good point to a girl! The only thing to remind you is to get a scarf because the air-con here is pretty strong. And I'll see you there around!

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.

Nevertheless, the line was still super long that one would get a number and wait before a sip of coffee. Menu was simple, espresso or milk coffee. I opted for the iced latte, perfect for the hot weather. The latte was as balanced as a piece of silk, yet never too thick to swallow. Also liked the temperature of the drink, very considerate.

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.

When your coffee is "naked" so to speak, your coffee house experience becomes becomes very quickly about the quality of the bean and the customer service very quickly.

But having consumed maybe 50 cups of coffee at this Pacific Coffee and others around Hong Kong, I think of the brand Pacific Coffee like the reliable older sibling to the coffee houses of Hong Kong. As with an older sibling, you kind of know what you are getting. There is no nothing fancy or unexpected with an older sibling...they wear the same clothing style, they can be counted on and they are not fancy. They might not be the hippiest or trendiest sibling in the bunch, but they are consistent. Pacific Coffee is just that.
