We went to Holly Brown at 10AM on a Saturday for coffee and one of their advertised "New York"…read morebagels. This place is huge by Hong Kong standards. Lots of seating, very open, appears to have an upstairs section for additional seating, then it is open at the door front too and kind of spills into the street. I am not certain if Holly Brown is a coffee place that sells ice cream or and ice cream shop that sells coffee. We had coffee and two breakfast sandwiches on their advertised "New York" bagels. As for the New York bagel, I don't think these bagels are in the direct lineage of a true NY bagel...maybe like a distant cousin twice removed of a NY bagel. It was OK and you could tell it was attempting to be a NY bagel, but missed the mark (not large enough, not doughy enough....with NY bagels it is all about the water used to make them!) Not sure if I could find a better NY bagel in Hong Kong, so the jury is out a bit on the bagel from Holly Brown. My breakfast sandwich was salmon, avacado and a poached egg on top of a plain bagel. Along with my regular coffee americano, something left me a bit flat about this place. The coffee was thin, no punch of flavor or fullness in the bean. My Holly Brown experience was average. Not great, not awful, not memorable, just average. My breakfast had no wow moment. I had no moment of customer service amazement. Coffe was average. Average is a 3 to me on Yelp. Maybe ice cream is really their thing and we will try that the next time. As a coffee option, I will not return.

So they have this chain/franchise in the United States too. There each drink costs 4$+, while here…read moreit is only 18hkd (2.5$). Thought the quality here would be the same as the one in the USA seeing that it's a franchise. Unfortunately it is not. #1 customer service here: rude. Tried to pay with a 500$ bill and asked if I had smaller denominations, which I didn't. Anyways she slammed my change onto the counter. #2 the pearls are all sticking together... Wtf. That usually only happens if the pearls have been sitting there for a while. Which means they weren't fresh or the employees didn't continuously stir them throughout the day. Because of the sticky pearls, I ended up with tons of pearls left after finishing my milk tea.

(I really like the Grapefruit Green Tea) You can also choose the sweetness/sugar level as well as how much ice they put in it. They also can make some beverages hot! It's not the best milk tea place in town, but it satisfies my cravings. This location is tricky to find. It's hidden behind all the little shops along the alley/street. So if you're on queens road, turn right into Li Yuen Street EAST. You'll see the little shops that crowd the alley/street. Keep looking to the right, behind the little stall/shop and you'll find it! If you end up at Des Veoux Road, you've missed it.

I didn't know this until I was reading the sign waiting around for my matcha soft serve. NBD.....that meant that there was more for me to eat in the regular size. I ordered a plain soft serve with waffle cone. The matcha soft serve had the earthy taste of the tea and most importantly, not that sweet. The soft serve went well with the crunchy waffle cone and it was gone in no time. I will definitely come here again on my next visit - I will shop for groceries and get my prize of soft serve afterwards.

In comparison to prices in Korea, it is essentially double the price. I have to admit that Haagen Dazs in Hong Kong is overpriced at the supermarket though. I did like the toppings and the strawberry syrup/sauce was not overwhelmingly sweet. It wasn't the corn syrup type syrup that you would find at Dairy Queen that tastes awfully artificial. Even though it is organic, the premium that you have to pay for this ice cream is a bit cost prohibitive. Once in a while, it's a nice treat.

Great location in Central Hong Kong…read more One thing I appreciate about SB is its consistency. No matter where you are in the world each location offers pretty much the same menu and this one is no different. Pumpkin spice latte made with almond or soy milk is my favorite this time of year. The flavor topped with spice warms my heart. Years ago I frequented SB several times a week but at today's prices I'm lucky if I can afford it once a month. It is a luxury to splurge $6 to $7 for a coffee drink :(
