The Place Located underneath one of the most iconic attractions in Hong Kong, the central escalators, is Zero One. It’s a ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ place, which should definitely be on the list of any true coffee aficionado’s list of must visit coffee joints. Another of the Taiwanese originated coffee joints, Zero One channels…
Artista Perfetto @ Causeway Bay
The Place Tucked away in the backstreets of Causeway Bay is one of Hong Kong’s premier coffee destinations. With a heritage from coffee hotspot Taiwan, the team of young guns opened Artista Perfetto (AP) with the fanaticism of true coffee aficionados. You know you’re in for a treat when one of the main guys has…
Africa Coffee & Tea @ Wong Chuk Hang
The Place One of the new and exciting developing areas in Hong Kong is on the (relatively) new South Island MTR line… Wong Chuk Hang. A semi industrial area where there are hidden gems everywhere, including art galleries, private kitchens, amazing gyms and all sorts of bric-a-brac, Wong Chuk Hang is a part of Hong…
Le Petit Salon @ Wanchai
The Place In what has become my daily coffee joint, my new local coffee hotspot is Le Petit Salon is just around the corner from my apartment in Lockhart Road. It’s kinda located in a no man’s land between central Wanchai and Causeway Bay, and is tucked away in a wooden hut that is completely…
Halfway Coffee @ Sheung Wan
The Place In what has become a standout in an area with a really established coffee culture, Halfway Coffee is perhaps one of my favourite spots for coffee. There’s something really interesting about the little joint sandwiched between two laneways in Sheung Wan. You know you’re in for a bit of a different experience when…
Arabica @ TST
The Place With a buzz that’s not been seen for a while, Arabica opened up it’s first Hong Kong outlet over at the Star Ferry entrance at TST. For those of us on the Island side, it means a little bit of a journey, either by ferry or MTR (followed by a decent walk). On…
Amber Coffee Brewery @ Central
The Place I had to travel a little further than my Wanchai base to find Amber; thankfully, this hot new coffee joint is right on the Ding Ding line. Located on super busy Des Voeux road mid point between Central and Sheung Wan, Amber Coffee Brewery could just about be the best coffee spot in Hong…
NOT Specialty Coffee @ Wanchai
The Place I’m still coming to terms with finding places in Hong Kong, but after almost two years in my new home, I thought I was getting better at finding places. That was until I tried to find NOT Specialty Coffee! I must have walked up and down Jaffe Road three or four times before…
The Hideout @ Sai Ying Pun
The Place Everyone knows about the famous Shelley Street escalators that run all the way up through Soho, right?! Well, did you know that there’s another set of escalators that runs up Centre Street in Sai Ying Pun? Not quite as famous yet, but in a part of Hong Kong thats becoming gentrified, it’s only…
Taylor Street Barista @ Canary Wharf
The Place In a city that’s dominated by three big commercial coffee joints, it’s actually relatively hard to find an artisan coffee house. It’s why I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled across Taylor Street Barista; the closest thing to an Aussie cafe that I’d found in London (although I did find some others that…
Green Door Cafe @ TST
The Place Amongst the hustle and bustle of Tsim Sha Tsui, there are a surprising number of quiet spots where, if you can find them, hide little gems. Green Door Cafe was a little hard to find, even with my ever handy Google Maps, but after a few false starts I managed to weave my…
N1 Coffee & Co
The Place The Easy way to get to N1 Coffee & Co is from exit (unsurprisingly) the N1 of the Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station, but my rout is normally a bit more circuitous. This place is my regular coffee spot when I head over to TST to visit Din Tai Fung for lunch (food…
