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…
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…
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…
18 Grams @ Sheung Wan
The Place Right across from the A2 exit at Sheung Wan MTR station is one of the best little coffee spots in the area. 18 Grams is a specialty coffee joint and has a roaster attached to the business (coincidentally in my local hood at Wanchai – see post here). The boys at 18 Grams…
Lof 10: minimalism in Sheung Wan
The Place Get ready to walk up steps and plenty of them. Visiting Lof 10 in Sheung Wan is a study in determination and exercise. Once you’ve ascended to the funky coffee joint that has a very minimalist look and feel, you’ll need a cup of ice cold water; which thankfully we were given once…
NOC Coffee & Roaster in Central
The Place Graham Street in Central is home to one of Hong Kong’s famous wet markets, seemingly a dying breed of space in burgeoning Hong Kong. While there’s a sad loss of such iconic areas, Graham Street is also home to NOC Coffee and Roaster. While the place is called NOC, or Not Only Coffee,…
Little Break Coffee & Kitchen
The Place I keep finding great little coffee joints within a few blocks of each other at Sheung Wan, which has to be one of the hottest little areas in Hong Kong. Whereas the other coffee haunts I’ve checked out in Sheung Wan had a traditional coffee shop feel about them, Little Break Coffee &…
Brew Brothers at Sheung Wan
The Place Described as a Melbourne coffee house in Hong Kong, Brew Brothers is a specialty coffee house in the heart of Sheung Wan. I’m not really sure why the reference is made to Melbourne coffee houses, but Japanese head barista Hikaru Ono spent some time there. At the time of my visit, the Brew…
R&R Bagels with Allpress
The Place Hidden in plain sight is the best way to describe R&R Bagels. Located in busy 28 Li Yuen Street West, the specialty bagel joint is hidden behind one of the myriad of stalls that dominate the busy little street. If you weren’t looking for it specifically, it would be easy to walk by….
