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…

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…
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…
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…
{sfs} it’s so hard to find
The Place It wasn’t a good start when we went to look for {sfs}, or otherwise known as Saint Francis Street in Wanchai. The place was next to impossible to find, also not helped by the little coffee joint not opening on time; so we walked by a number of times before finally finding the…
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…
Open Door Cafe at Sai Yin Pun
The Place It took us ages to find Open Door Cafe, which was much further along Connaught Road that we were really prepared for. The busy road is not really the ideal place for a cafe but when we finally walked through its front door, the heavy traffic noise disappeared quite quickly. Open Door Cafe…
