I would definitely recommend giving a try during the afternoon tea time, the afternoon tea menu has a variety of choices , each set cost only HKD48 (includes coffee/iced tea, n you can pick the type of coffee you want!). The portion and taste are good as well. For dinner: meals are more expensive . I tried the bacon spaghetti (Hkd118), and added extra hkd30 for soup and iced tea. Frankly speaking the spaghetti and soup were so-so, nothing special, a bit disappointing.

Considering how, like my cafe, this place isn't placed where there's a lot of foot traffic, it may go unnoticed, but my oh my is this place yet another hidden gem for the privileged few that stumble upon it. They offer a wide range of crepe cakes, and my favourite by far would have to be their pandan crepe cake- it's just so smooth, and coconut-y, yet it's not particularly sweet. In that sense I feel that presenting it as a crepe cake suits it really well. I've also tried their salted caramel, matcha and rum raisin crepe cakes, but they're leagues away from the pandan crepe cake. That being said, they're still pretty good. If they run out of pandan cakes, I'd suggest the salted caramel, which is moderately sweet and also quite fragrant. The rum raisin is alright, you can definitely taste the rum in it, but I'm not a fan of their matcha crepe cake- i don't know why, but it just tastes a bit weird if you ask me. Their coffee has also improved significantly since my last visit- they do seem to use arabica beans for their espressos, so expect a bit of a kick, albeit a fragrant one. Pastries are also pretty good, and if I'm not mistaken, they're recently launched their hot breakfast menu.

I think I did a triple take, and then I immediately went onto social media to find more pictures of their desserts. The pictures of the desserts on Instagram were amazing, and I started drooling right away. Apparently they even have a decently priced (pretty cheap actually) afternoon tea set, although their tea set is a bit different from the traditional ones served in HK. After dinner, I walked back to this dessert place to ask them for their hours in the next couple of days and to take a sneak peek at their menu for prices. The woman helping us was not the most friendly - in fact, she was pretty cold, but it didn't deter me from looking at the menu. Their menu is on a tablet, which is fairly convenient since they have real pictures of the items in good photo quality; if the item is sold out or not offered for that day, the picture is removed or there's a "sold out" next to it. You select the items you want by clicking "add to cart" and then return the tablet back to the waitress. It's fairly high-tech and an overall unique experience. I returned a few days later with my family and we were taken to a small and tight corner for the four of us. There were a ton of tables at the front of the restaurant, so it was a little annoying that we had to squeeze into the uncomfortable table we were at. Looking at the prices, we decided to order just a few items. The individual items are pretty pricey, but they have interesting combo desserts that are much more affordable than ordering a simple cake. Mille cake was $39 HKD which is roughly $5-$6 USD. Not a bad price, but the mille cake was actually SUPER tiny. It was pretty much like a little biscuit that you could pick up in your hand and munch on. It reminded me of the puff pastries I would buy at Valu-Mart. The cream in the middle was rich and pretty sweet, and the puff pastry was crispy with a slightly sweet taste, but overall it was nothing special. The plate had this special edible salt that added a bit of flavor if you mixed it in with the cake, but it was a disappointment. Praline chocolate truffle cake was also $39 HKD. This looked really decadent in the pictures - like a chocolate throne cake. And when it came out, it was also ... really small. It was definitely rich and super chocolate-y tasting, but nothing special. There were two slabs of chocolate on the sides that gave the cake some extra texture, but it was not very good. Chenonceau was $58 HKD (about $8 USD). This definitely was the best dessert out of the three we ordered. There were five little desserts on the plate and looked incredibly unique. Green tea and black sesame ice cream in between three small cakes. On top of the ice cream was a sesame tuile. I thought it was fairly tasty and definitely worth the price. Cakes were soft and refreshing, and the ice cream had good flavor. There are a ton of other really interesting desserts with unique names, but we didn't order them because the pricing was a bit too high and we were running low on HK currency. I think we wanted to order a soufflé, but they were all sold out for the night. Ambience is definitely a good place to bring a date. Lots of girls (and older ladies) seem to like coming here and splitting desserts while talking the night away. The look and feel of the dessert place is definitely high class and trendy. I would associate the decorations with the look and feel of Caffe Concerto in LA. The only thing that seems to need some work is the service. For some reason, I really felt like the woman waitress who was snooty the first time we came around continued to give us attitude the night we dined here. Not sure if it's because we're not from HK or because my parents were with me, but just got the vibe that she was rushing us. She gave us the check before we had asked for it when there were tables who had finished eating and were just talking. tl;dr - Order their more unique and original desserts. Don't order the simple ones that are in their display cases - definitely a letdown. Atmosphere was super nice, but I felt the service was truly lacking.

Not much to look at when it comes to a store front and really a tiny, mildly unkept inside (not dirty or anything, just no effort towards making it look well appointed or decorated nicely). They do not sell coffee that you drink on sight, but you buy it and take it home to brew at your own home. The woman who helped us guided us to a coffee based on some questions we answered for her about what we look for in a coffee We walked away with their "Premium House" blend, which I think is their middle of the road bean. I drink a lot of coffee and I have enjoyed this. Not sure if I think it is all the rage of authentic Turkish coffee, but glad I purchased (I was thinking it would be bolder and it was not as bold as I thought it should be). I bought a half a pound for about $63HKD, which seemed reasonable to me. This spot is not near where I live in Hong Kong, so not sure I would make the trek to purchase it, but would buy if I was in the area again. CNN Travel said the following (a little back story to show the history of the spot): "Many of Central's caffeine junkies can blame their struggle with addiction on Old Master Ho who has been selling his excellent coffee beans at Olympia Graeco Egyptian Coffee since the 1950s. The shop itself was established at the beginning of the last century and was first lauded for serving authentic Turkish coffee. Alas, coffee is no longer served on the premises, but Old Master Ho has not stopped roasting beans since he took over the shop and keeps quality high while prices low. Nowadays, the shop attracts gawking tourists curious to see the ancient Chinese man handling the equally ancient roasters, but it is the unbeatable value of the product that keeps locals coming back."

I mean, I has a serious sweet tooth, and it's the only dessert place around, and I don't crave to come back. My hubby was craving for a good old bowl of sweet mung bean soup. What a disappointment. It was very watery, no sediment (what the Chinese call "sand", which appears when you boil beans for a long time). Ditto for the red bean soup my dad ordered, no fragrance from the orange peel. Now, if you are what my mom says, the "younger folks", and order stuff like durian dessert, mango dessert, etc., you'll fare better, my little cousins love what they got. Which leads the older folks to lament the lost art of making a good bowl of sweet bean soup, which is so cheap but time consuming, and only old folks order anyway...

The mixed fruit had a variety of fruits, and was just so perfect paired with the herbal jelly. There was mango, watermelon, melon, and another fruit. There are also many other desserts available to choose from. It was definitely fulfilling, and it was not too sweet and was just right for me. The jelly was good, but it was cut in noodle shape instead of cubed shape. Either way, it was delicious for me or maybe I was just exhausted from the hiking I did prior to eating here as I hiked all the way to Sham Tseng and it was late at night. Location/Service: the one I came to is located in Sham Tseng and is pretty far from the bustling Kowloon or HK Island. Service was good, and was greeted nicely and had orders taken and came out really fast. The desserts were not really expensive and was not overly sweet or not enough sweet. It was just right so my sweet tooth definitely enjoyed it. Great dessert to end my day from the long hike I had and also after eating roasted goose.
