Black Sugar Coffee & Lifestyle - Olympian City 2 — Restaurant in Kowloon

Ordered: small Americano ($40, 8-10oz) take away

One of the few lesser known coffee chain in Olympic City Mall (compared against Starbucks etc). Coffee is pricer per volume, even by Olympic City standard. I am a fan of the fruity-sweet aftertaste so their Americano was great; but those who prefer a nuttier blend may disagree. They also have specialty single origin coffee for ~$68 a pop.

Haven't tried their food yet, though a glance at the menu seems to suggest it to the usual cafe flare and is around ~$100 per pasta.

Atmosphere-wise, there is a lot of Shiba Inu dogs decor around. If you are a fan of the breed, you will be fed plenty of eye candy.

My two cents: good for splurging; though no need to make a special...

Probably your best bet for a good coffee spot in the Olympian City mall. Friendly staff and some good pastry for pairing. Give their cheesecake or pound cake a try. Fruity blend roast for their long black.

Seats are limited so be sure to come early or after the lunch rush hour. Packed during weekends definitely. They also have a stamp card for those that frequent the coffee brand.

If you’re wanting to work a little here, have good headphones as it can get noisy when it’s packed. Just have decency to order once in a while staying at the table.

Order at the front...

Absolutely the worst service and attitude I’ve ever experienced. I was there with a toddler, and while the adults ordered three coffees, we were told to pay an extra minimum charge for her just because she was sitting there. After waiting over 20 minutes for an $80 hand drip, we left out of frustration.

When I returned minutes later to retrieve a receipt needed for parking, they’d already tossed it and refused to check for it. The staff was rude, unhelpful, and dismissive. It’s okay if they have such policies, but these policies should be absolutely clear...
