Café Sausalito — Restaurant in Kowloon

This is a pretty good coffee shop and cafe located along Tai Nan Street in Sham Shui Po. Opening hours are 9am to 6pm daily. They have a small indoor seating area and casual setup. They offer a nice range of coffee and non-coffee drinks along with a small menu of food items prepared in their kitchen.

Had a really good lunch here recently, very much enjoying their pulled pork, topped with pineapple slice, served on a toasted sesame seed bagel. Served with a bit of salad, this was a really good lunch. The bagel was perfectly toasted and held the succulent and delicious BBQ pulled pork and pineapple nicely. Just great. On the occasion, I also tried their single origin espresso (Brazilian blend) that was very good.

Overall, a great showing by Cafe Sausalito. There are a lot of coffee shops and casual eateries in the Sham Shui Po area, this is one that seems to have what it takes to make it in what is becoming a more and more...

The cafe itself is compact and small with a narrow alleyway. The seats are a little squished as well so I would recommend going during less-busy hours to have a nice eating experience if you’re planning to spend a slower afternoon here.

This cafe is probably the very first cafe opened in ssp 10 years ago and has been renovated for a few times. Although the chairs are that comfy, it feels spacious and the lighting is sufficient. There’s also wifi! Ordered a mushroom lava toast and a cup of latte. Sourdough is just fair in terms of texture and taste. Mushrooms aren’t well caramelised so it lacks bit flavour. Cheese sauce is very generous but a bit grainy and more of a white sauce. The toast can soak up all the sauce. Latte is great with light-to-medium roasted beans. The flavour is well-balanced. I would like to try their bagels or all-day breakfast on...
