Was served three ricotta pancakes ($118 hkd) with blueberries, syrup and bananas. Although the portion was small, the fluffiness of the pancake and light sweetness of the syrup made the dish de-lish! If you go before 11am on mon-fri you get a choice of one of four drinks- i opted for the lemon tea with charred lemons (makes a big difference!!). They also had mint infused water near the bar area, and a separate two floor area for seating, accessible by walking out and around the left corner into a separate below space. Mason jar lights dangle from the ceiling and a light teal wall and yellow flowers brightens the room. My friend and I sat here for a little over an hour sketching the space. They give you a buzzer that beeps when ur food is ready for pick up- my pancakes took around 20 min, as there was a group of 5 in front of me. The bathrooms clean, the service is good, and their playlist is indie coffeehouse! Not crowded on a Monday around 10. A great place!

If you're looking for a place with a surrounding that's as cute as the coffee shop itself, this would not be the place to go to. ~Ambiance The seating is solely outdoor only. There's 6 seats on the counter, but that's outside too. So there's constantly people walking, sounds of cars, and the worst part was smokers. The coffee shop itself is really cute, but I can't say the same for its surroundings. ~Service It was my first time here and the girl working was really friendly and patient with me. ~Coffee I ordered the lychee latte and I really enjoyed it! There was a hint of lychee, and it was just perfect. Nothing was overwhelming.

Finally had a chance to visit this place!

I have to admit: we came here twice in one day…read more First in the morning. 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.

I had to try the Hong Kong exclusive which was the Toffee Nut Crunch. Not too sweet and very yummy. I enjoyed the toffee bits in my coffee. My husband wasn't as impressed with his iced americano. He said it was water down. I'm so glad that this Starbucks was located in my hotels downstairs lobby, otherwise I don't know how I would have functioned!

We picked up two tins of Bird's Tongue Jasmine for around HKD 250. I like Oolong but the ones they let us smell had a strong, almost fermented fragrance that we decided to pass on. Is oolong always like that? 3 stars for the decent variety and friendly service in English, but there also isn't too much that distinguishes this place from all the other options in the city.

The shop itself is pretty small, but there is an outside-the-shop seating area that is more spacious and comfortable. I preferred seating there. I ordered a bagel of the day, which was ham and cheese bagel. I have been hunting for local bagels ever since I am back from Canada, so this is a must try. The bagel was pretty good, it got a crisp exterior but not hardened. Well, I do prefer bagel with cream cheese, so I'll come again to try my luck. Any one have good options for having bagels in Hong Kong? *thanks in advance* HAHA Another thing I picked out from the menu was a cold raman with tofu. The raman wasn't chewy in particular, but I liked the sesame dressing and the slimy lady's fingers. A refreshing vegetarian dish from this shop. In fact, the shop is offering many light dishes. If you are looking for some fresh options nearby you can try it out. They served some special coffee menu e.g. the sparkling coffee. I got the orange one and it tasted like coffee mixing with orange soda. Kind of an interesting feeling to have sparkling coffee. The hot chocolate was creamy and rich as well. I liked the relaxing environment being surrounded by food and books. I'll definitely come again another time when I am visiting Eslite Spectrum.

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.
