"Kam Hing is the spot for when you want coffee that feels like a treat, but you don’t want to spend $7 on it. This Hong Kong-style café in Chinatown makes the best sponge cakes in town, which is important to note, since you can get sponge cake and a Thai or Vietnamese iced coffee for less than $5. It’s fancy coffee for when you don’t want to spend a lot of money, and it’s just as good as the pricier options on this list. Go all out and get some rice rolls too—your order will still clock in under $10. " - carina finn koeppicus
