Get Directions →"The coffee shop at Whiskers and Paws in Horizon Plaza, Ap Lei Chau. Less so about the coffee, more so about the doggie vibes."
Get Directions →"Good coffee and food. Decent prices vs Central and west. High chairs, outdoor area, pet-friendly."
Get Directions →

Get Directions →"Well-prepped espresso, good extraction, well balanced, and great Japanese style decor inside. Great little escape in Central."
Get Directions →

Try: Cheese & Ham Croissant, Nutella Cruffin
Get Directions →"The ambience is nice, if you are a fan of coffee places in Central not too far from the Mid-Level Escalators."
Get Directions →
"Just went to a joint with friends today. Quite impressive. Minimum spend $80 per person — so ideally go for lunch, tea, or dinner."
Get Directions →"Tried the one in Central. Stop brewing 30 min before closing — so go when you have time. Pricey but worth it. Always busy, dog friendly. Perfect if you want to just disappear for an hour."
Get Directions →"Coffee is decent, but the vibe is not for me — a bit too loud, and there are little flies from the open kitchen."
Get Directions →
"Amazing coffee, roasted, prepared and served by a Q Grader, Coffee Champ. Great place for dates, solo."

Café Run · The Station
📍 Sheung Wan
"Harbour run stretched to Wanchai — Dave hit a personal best. Ice lattes and espresso smoothies waiting at Adrian's café after. Turns out caffeine pulls harder than the finish line."
