Although the staff were very gracious and friendly, they seem to be very poorly trained in food safety & food allergies. For an F&B establishment, this is very concerning. I ordered the corn & zucchini fritters, which came out quite bland, the batter of the fritters was still wet, undercooked and they were room at temperature. Perhaps they're meant to be served / cooked that way, similar to a Japanese okonomiyaki? But in my experience, fritters are served hot and crispy, cooked through with no wet batter. I also ordered the Berry Bomb smoothie which has strawberries, blueberries & raspberries in it. I informed the staff about my raspberry allergy, which she noted. However, my drink came out with tons of raspberry seeds in it which I spat out into a napkin. I double checked with the staff again, the male staff said the berries come in a big mixed bag that's why they couldn't be separated, but then the female staff reassured me there is NO raspberries in my drink. The restaurant was full, therefore the conversation was haste. I took her word for it as she was the staff for my table. I took another couple of sips after she reassured me, but my throat started itching a few minutes after. At which point I realized there were definitely raspberries in there and stopped drinking immediately. I mentioned it to the staff again and the male staff confirmed the berries definitely come in a mixed bags, but they had handpicked the raspberries out of my drink before blending it. I tried to explain to them that is not how allergies work and they need to request their boss for a proper training about food safety, cross contamination & food allergies. I was lucky that I only ever get mild discomfort, some people have severe allergies that could be lethal. Despite all that, I want to reemphasize that the staff really tried their best. They remained gracious and polite while running a full house that day. I just wish they were better trained and took customers' allergies more seriously. Because even after I tried to explain, they still brushed it off like it was no issues. I hope the restaurant manager / owner sees my review and invest some time & effort into training their staff better. Both front of house and back of house before someone gets seriously hurt.

My friend & I travelled from New Territories & Kowloon to Kennedy Town just for their widely advertised Sunday Roast. I even went ahead and tried to reserve (in which they said there’s no need to) AND double checked that the roast was available THIS Sunday. Then we showed up, STARVING, at 3PM sharp, only to be seated AND given the Roast Menu, then after 10 minutes of waiting, they told us: NO ROAST TODAY. With no explanation. The waiter said: “the chef said there’s no roast available”. We asked why, the waiter said: “I don’t know either, I don’t work on Sundays usually”. This is my last straw of this week. I don’t understand why a restaurant would widely advertise a menu they don’t even have and try to scam the customers to visit, just to tell them after seated that nothing they want is available ⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️

Blend and Grind is a coffee shop & cafe with a few branches around the city including this place along Catchick Street in K-Town. I had breakfast at this branch recently and found everything to be really good. Ordered their Avosmash - olive & tyme sourdough topped with smashed avocado, sun-dried tomato, feta, pumpkin seeds and lemon drizzle. It tasted really nice and went well with the well prepared macchiato, strong espresso blended with a bit of milk and foam. This was an overall nice and light breakfast at the Blend & Grind branch in K-Town. A good first showing. Nice job, guys.

What a chill and relaxing spot in Kennedy Town! Fantastic for brunch or finding a quiet place to work. Delicious coffee and food, with good variety as well on the menu - would recommend their bagel sandwiches and avosmash. Though overall price range is higher than usual, considering the quality of the food and how filling it was, it felt somewhat worth it. Nice, quiet and spacious spot that also happens to be very dog friendly. Lots of seating available inside and outside, and the staff were also very friendly and welcoming.

Great place to get coffee AND food for brunch and happy hour! It's not very common to find a place with both good coffee and food that are not too overpriced. Americano and dirty were both pleasantly intense and smooth. Smoothie tasted healthy but had a nice balance of banana and chocolate flavour. Food menu were extensive, including sandwiches, bagels, brunch food, bowls, etc. I like how big the space is, the atmosphere is also chill and welcoming. Outdoor seating available. Good for families and bigger groups.

Friday night requires a meaty bite and the restaurant didn't disappoint me with middle rare hamburger overlaid with cheese and mushroom. The taste is well balanced with the freshness of lettuce and tomato. However, the cheesy burger is a bit difficult to bit as the texture of the solidified cheese is too hard. The fries could be crispier and they have slightly lost the crunch. The lattes are well balanced. Overall it is a good experience. With a bit of adjustment, it could easily be a staple in Kennedy Town.
