There is a Starbucks at Empire Centre in TST East next to the side street entrance and 711 convenient store. Opening hours 8am to 11pm daily.
This is a typical Starbucks, you can order standard coffee and iced coffee drinks and expected range of over the counter foods. They have just a few seats near the counter. However, there is a larger seating area just inside the Empire Centre open foyer area for Starbucks customers.

Note: For those interested in trying something more local, just around the corner at Empire Centre, there is a small locally run coffee shop called Black Sugar. Coffee is pretty good and over the counter food items better...

This could be hazardous for the next...
Read moreStarbucks is world-renowned! Who hasn’t heard of it, tried it and not become a life-longer? I love visiting locations around the world! You can experience a variety of items that may/may not be at your local favorite store! This particular store is small, BUT it’s inside a large building with ample seating if you just walk through. The baristas are friendly and helpful; a Starbucks standard taken to heart. My drink was made correctly, even though it’s not my go-to-drink at my home store. My food choice delicious and warmed correctly. Since I’ve been in Hong Kong, this has become my favorite...
