MUM's NOT HOME — Restaurant in Hong Kong

I'd say MNH is one of the nicest cafes in hong kong with good cakes, nice drinks, and cutest and most heart-warming owners in hong kong! A previous review wrote that the owners are not welcoming westerners - THIS IS REALLY SO NOT THE CASE! Everytime im there there must be at least 1-2 tables with foreigners, with a big smile on their faces or simply chilling out themselves there! I had brought some of my foreign friends (visitors, be them Westerner/ Asians/ whatever nationalities) there and they all had a wonderful time there and all of them said they definitely would visit there again (and really they did and went secretly without me!)! Owner Chow always give u a big warm smile when he opens the door, make u feel like u are back to "home". I do not know the owners personally but I think the below comment is kinda unjustice and thats why i'd write my review here. Please small shops/ cafes like this are struggling everyday because of the crazy rent nor govenrnment policies. If you didnt enjoy yourself there simply dont go there again instead of writing bad comments here especially you didnt give a concrete review on your experience. Please just be supportive to the little shops here to make hong kong less materialistic, if you didnt enjoy just be helpful and simply be less harsh and give some advices for their improvments! I love MNH and would like to see them be in hong kong as long...

This is a really unique place with very “hipster” vibes. Definitely an interesting experience but lots of room for improvement.

We went on a Sunday and was told there is a minimum spend of 100HKD per person, so basically, per person, you need to order 2 drinks or 1 drink and a cake. They only have full fat milk and, I think, only cheesecakes (not very lactose intolerant friendly). We asked if they had decaf and they didn’t know what decaf was.

We ordered the butterfly pea cheesecake (which they recommended), the masala cheesecake, the turmeric latte and the sweet potato latte. Food and drinks fell well short of expectations. The butterfly pea cheesecake was sour and had an odd consistency with pieces of fibrous flower throughout. The masala cheesecake was marginally better, but the spice flavour was so strong it was almost savoury. Both “lattes” were served in interesting metal bowls but probably more appropriate to describe them as bowls of frothy milk.

Great vibes, so lots of potential if food and drinks could...

MUM'S NOT HOME is a ridiculously special place in any city and is an absolute treat here in Yau Ma Tei.

After leaving the hustle and bustle of the street behind, ascending the dark stairwell, and hitting that doorbell, you're greeted with a smile and welcomed into a vibrant, happy, energetic oasis of happy beats, delicious drinks, and creative energy.

Drinks and desserts all have a homemade feel to it, giving the whole experience like you're hanging out at a friend's house.

Hang out, enjoy your refreshment, soak in the creativity and beats, then don't forget to grab some merch on the way out—all of which are original designs. That's about the best way to enjoy life and support your local creative artists all at...
