  Well, if there was an award for kindest barista in Hong Kong, Lily would win it easily. I came in the other day feeling sad and exhausted, and she looked after me so thoughtfully, feeding me chocolate brownie, and Taiwanese sweets, as I drank coffee and tried to work.
  It reminds me of the... Read more

  What a cracking little place. It's a nightmare to find and has slightly odd opening hours (1pm? Really? This, surely, is sadism) but all was forgiven on the first sip.
  
  It's a tiny little place, not much more than a room, really, up the stairs off Elgin St. I arrived when quite a few... Read more

  Great little hole in the wall café. A little awkward to find at first as it is tucked up on the first floor and the door is normally closed. House blend is a light roast, but a great selection of beans are available to chose from. Service is a bit slow but quality is excellent.

  We scoured Elgin Street to find this place but definitely worth the effort. The coffee was mild and smooth and everything I'd been missing from home. Amazing variety of beans, and some pretty impressive latte art. The opening hours are a little strange - after 1pm most days - but I am so pleased to... Read more

  This place was closed at 8.30am. Looked abandoned.

  Another tucked away cafe in Central that drew my attention from beanhunter. Having read the menu of beans for sale I was convinced it's not quite the farm level coffees I was looking for, thus I ordered a latte.
  
  Milk was frothed to a temperature on the high end of my tolerance. Though... Read more

  This place is hard to find. It's actually upstairs off Elgin St. Cafe is pretty good.

  This is my all time favorite cafe in HK. Every year when I back for holiday, its a must to visit here! The lady here is so nice to talk to. And you can feel her passion of making coffee.
  
  Here is HK, any good shop must be busy during weekend. So its better to visit here at off-peak... Read more

  Fresh beans roared at the cafe. They do a drip coffee which some other shops don't. Fantastic knowledge and experience. Enjoy!!! A little hard to find but worth the effort.

  Just have to add to my previous review. Went in a few days later to buy some beans for home and the barista remembered not only my coffee order, but even part of our conversation. Now that's service!

  Well, this is my new favourite in Hong Kong.
  
  Don't be put off by the difficulty of finding it, if you're not a local. Look for the sign on the side of the building, walk up a short flight of stairs and then head bravely through the mysterious door on your left. Behold, coffee... Read more
