"Café Culture You’ll be on the go during your visit to Hong Kong , but there’s always time for a cuppa. International design magazines are strewn across the main table, and a chandelier hangs from exposed pipes at the hip The Coffee Academics. Try the Classico No. 3 ice drip (served in a wine glass) with flavors evoking chocolate, mint, orange and raisin. If you’re feeling peckish, the cheese platter should do the trick. However, for the best high tea in town, head to the legendary Peninsula hotel. A string quartet serenades you as you pay homage to Hong Kong’s colonial past over your tea, scones and finger sandwiches presented on silver platters. Reservations aren’t available so expect to line up. A strict dress code is also enforced."

Came here on a Saturday morning and glad it wasn't too crowded. The place is nicely decorated, comfy but the seating is a bit tight. Although this place is famous for coffee but I wasn't in a mood for my daily dose. There are plenty of choices from the breakfast menu and I've ordered the eggs benedicts and the avocado toast which were both tasty. The two eggs from the eggs benedicts weren't runny but it wasn't an issue. My only complain would be the tiny portion given the above average price tag.

The people working there extremely friendly and make you feel very welcomed at the store. I’ve been there multiple times and their coffee beans are really really well done, the coffee makes you feel like something that’s one of a kind; it’s very unique and it’s absolutely perfect. I’ve been here many times, I have their gold membership, and I definitely will keep going there. There’s people complaining about the pricing but to be honest for what they’re delivering I feel like the pricing is absolutely reasonable. Would definitely recommend to anyone that wants good coffee, good service, and really good vibe overall.

I have visited two locations and the quality of service has been high in both. The interiors are well presented with some nice touches, such as the quote plaques about coffee by famous people from history. Importantly the coffee is very good, however the cold brew and more experimental options are far too expensive. The food whilst a bit pricey is very good with noticeable care put into all the ingredients. Well worth a visit.

Well recommended by lots of people, so gotta give it a try. Nice ambience with good atmosphere. Bit pricier than other cafes, perhaps of its reputation? 🤔Great place to laze around and watch people passing by, but.... its not along a main street, errr... so not much of view outside. 🤗 Drinks are a trifle slow to arrive but service is courteous and friendly. There are a number of other outlets with better visibility.

A decent coffee shop at Causeway Bay, dessert and coffee there is outstanding. They offer a piece of cake and coffee as a set during weekday tea time. Price is very reasonable. It was great that they are now offering discount from the dining app. 30% off from food during non peak time.

Stylish decor and fancy coffee drinks. Staff is neither friendly nor rude. A bit pricey compared to starbucks and that’s due to a twist and turn on a normal coffee which is sometimes a win but 2 out of 3 a disappointment. Heard this place is a must go for a coffee lover, but frankly not that impressive and you won’t miss much even if you don’t go.

Atmosphere and furnishing is lovely. Huge selection of fine artisan coffees and other non caffeinated drinks too! Can't miss out on the snacks either! I would really reccomend the Korean style fried chicken! Great this is the free wifi as well! Love meeting up with friends and doing some trip planning here.

The name speak for itself, for coffee craving and place to chill. Consist of special made coffee mix to try out that changes from time to time. Coffee bean of multiple countries giving it a mixed taste of coffee feel up to personal preference. Main meal or small bites can be ordered here too, hence if you have a long free hours you can opt to drop by here for the meal and coffee. Wine selection available & can be ordered too. Price wise, slightly above the typical cafe place. But overall ambience and mood is compensated for it.
