This weekend, I went to a cafe near HKU station. The entrance wasn't very noticeable, but once inside, the decor had a minimalist industrial style. We decided to sit upstairs, and luckily, there was nobody else there, so we had the whole place to ourselves. It was a perfect opportunity to chat and chill with my friend.
The owner of the cafe was incredibly nice and recommended their Irish Coffee and Chocolate Hojicha Coffee. We decided to try both of them. In addition, we also ordered the All Day Breakfast and the Porcini Mushroom Pasta.
The Irish Coffee was a specialty coffee without any alcohol added. It had a beautiful gradient and was perfect for taking Instagram photos. The foam on top was smooth and creamy, and the taste had a slight acidity followed by a pleasant aftertaste. It had a great depth of flavor.

Read moreLovely cafe tucked away in Po Tuck (haha) Street! Visited for black coffee about a year ago and it was really great so I decided to revisit for lunchtime.
Had the full day breakfast (98HKD) and apple tea coffee (60HKD) and both were amazing. Great portion and reasonable price, wonderful presentation as well. The apple tea coffee is quite unique, the apple tea flavour is subtle but complements the coffee very well.
