Best Places to Drink
Coffee in Hong Kong
Calling all coffee (and tea) aficionados in Hong Kong! If
you've made it a goal to taste the best freshly brewed coffee in the city,
consider this post a checklist of your cafes to visit.
The Classified Café
Located in Sheung Wan, Classified Café was named as one of
the Top 5 Restaurants for Cheese Lovers by Time Magazine. Of course, the
artisan cheeses aren’t the only must-have in this place. This French café is
famous also for their gourmet coffee, boutique wine, and if you visit their website—you’ll see the superb interiors
for the perfect coffee drinking experience. Wine bottles on shelves, charming wood
furniture, and artistic chandeliers—this is the perfect place to unwind with a
date after a long tiring week. Other branches are found in Central, Tai
Hang, Stanley, Sai Kung, Wan Chai, New World Tower, Horizon Plaza, and Happy
Valley.
My My Café
Also found in Sheung Wan, this is the probably the smallest
café in Hong Kong. It’s more of a “coffee shed” because of its extremely tiny
space. Simply said, you visit this place for the awesome coffee and excellent
2-staff service, the bragging rights to say you’ve been to MMC, and get on your
way. It’s a treat in itself to squeeze in the small but wonderful coffee shop
because it’s heavily decorated on the inside. It’ll cost you only less than $40
in this café. They’re open from Mon-Wed (10:00-22:00), and Fri-Sun (11:30), and
closed during Thursdays. To be sure, check their Facebook
page first before you bop over for a visit.
Mana! Fast Slow Food
Searching for organic, glutten-free, and vegan food? Head
over to Central for Mana! Start your order by getting some hummus and
flatbread. Try their Mana Bliss or get a tofu burger. Finish your meal with a
cup of tea for $35, or their organic coffee which is made from non-GMO soya
milk and premium blended beans. Coffee price ranges are $20-$45. If you’re a
vegetarian living in Hong Kong, this is the perfect place for you. They are
open from 10am-10pm every day. Visit their site
for more info.
The Coffee Academics
Found in either Causeway Bay or Wan Chai, this coffee shop
is innovative in its ways to provide customers with the best coffee there is.
If you consider yourself a coffee connoisseur, all the more reason to visit
this place. If you’re looking for the perfect gift for café-addict pals, you
even have the choice to create your own blend.
Their “Notable Coffees” coffee could either be made via ice drip or hand
brewed. Both of these are above the normal coffee price range, because each cup
costs about $58-$98. Their espresso price range is from $24-$42. They also
serve Infused Loose Leaf Tea, which you can order by the Pot (hot) for $48, or
by the Glass (cold) $38. They also roast their coffee beans on the spot, so you
know that every single gulp is fresh and made with extra care and passion!
What are you waiting for? If you’re on a mission to taste
the best coffee there is, you better start now. There are so many coffee
experts in the city, and you’ll have all the fun—whether you spend your time
with friends and family, and even when you’re alone. Have happy coffee drinking
spree in Hong Kong!
