A CUP THING. — Restaurant in Kowloon

Visited this coffee shop today and unfortunately had a disappointing experience. The minimum spend per person is HK$70, which felt quite steep for the offerings provided. Additionally, there is a 75-minute time limit per visit, which made it difficult to relax and fully enjoy the experience.

If they had some 'A Cup Thing' branded merchandise I would have brought some. Thank you so much, and see you again next time I...
