Detour — Restaurant in Hong Kong Island

The coffee and food is good. I would return, but it took too long for food and coffee to be served, making this cafe a poor choice for breakfast unless you have nothing to do for the day. I also do not recommend this cafe for groups.

We waited 25 mins for the first open toast to be served, then another five for the second sandwich. One of us had to wait 40 mins for one sandwich cheese and chives melted sandwich. These meals take no more than 10 min when made at home. Coffee was served all over the place between food and also took two long to arrive.

I’d suggest better training for cafe staff. In general coffee is served first within the first 5-10 minutes before food, and together, so everyone can relax with their coffee at the same time. Food should be served after and as close together as possible so customers can also eat and drink together. The fragment serving here meant that we had nothing to drink with our food, unless we waited, and then food the got cold. It’s also quite awkward for one to eat while others are waiting for their meals.

The staffs comprehension of English also did not coincide with their full English menu and clientele, making it awkward to order. Lucky you can point to the menu because the staff at the till could not understand prosciutto and focaccia. I understand that you cannot expect people to be fluent in English however they should at least...

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this charming coffee shop, and I must say, it was an absolute delight! The vibe here is simply amazing—perfectly relaxed and wonderfully chill, making it feel like a true neighborhood gem.

The menu may be small, but it offers just the right variety of delicious options, from toasts and sandwiches to delightful cookies. Each item is crafted with care, ensuring a satisfying experience without overwhelming choices. And let’s not forget the freshly squeezed orange juice—it’s a refreshing treat that perfectly complements any meal!

The sunlight streaming in through the windows adds to the inviting atmosphere, creating a warm and comfortable space where you can truly unwind. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger a little longer, enjoying your food and the company around you.

Overall, this coffee shop is a simple yet extraordinary spot that I can’t recommend enough. Whether you’re looking for a quick bite or a cozy place to relax, this place has it all! I can’t wait to return and soak up the great...

The drink - flat white: Usually a pour over drinker, but this place doesn’t offer pour overs. So take my review with a grain of salt. Incredibly average flat white. Not overly bitter and not over extracted, but also no traces of unique flavors of the coffee bean and just lacks complexity. The drink was very smooth, good amount of foam.

The environment: incredibly small shop, with very few seating availabilities. If you can get a seat, it’s actually quite an enjoyable place to sit for a bit and watch the hustle and bustle of sheung wan.

Service: terrible. I felt that the baristas are quite rude. They don’t even look at you when taking your order and when the drink is done, they kind of just drop the drink in front of you and leave. They just don’t care about their customers having a...
