Single Origin - pour over and espresso bar — Restaurant in São Lázaro

Price : $$$

Pro: quiet, decent coffee, friendly staff

Con: price, potion size of the latte, uncomfortable sitting.

In general, coffee shop is a luxury in Macau. This independent coffee house was no exception. The overall design of the coffee place was minimal and does feel like a hipster coffee place. However, it is not spacious and seats are not comfortable (wooden stool and bench). Everyone is literally an elbow away. We went there when the shop open. We ordered the cake set (98 MOP) and a ice long black (42 MOP). The portion size of the latte is like the shop design, minimal. The tart itself is okay (early grey and chocolate tart, you can taste the tea and it is well balance with the chocolate, but the tart base feels like eating cereal brick) but not worth the selling price (65 MOP). The long black is clear and balance, with a good sweetness and not too acidic. Overall, unless you have lots of cash or bringing your own cushion. I don't recommend this...

We stop bySingle Origin on Rua de Abreu Nunes, just 2 minutes walk off of Tap Seac Square and at least a couple times a year, usually when staying at nearby Royal Macau Hotel or when we pass by Tap Seac Square. This is a very small but quality coffee shop in Macau.

There is a limited amount of downstairs and upstairs seating so you may need to take your coffee drinks outside or to go.

Espressos are very good here as are the Mocha and iced-coffee drinks, great for hot summer days. Cafe Americano is decent as well, just ask them to not put too much water in your coffee, a regular problem at other coffee shops around Macau.

Overall, we had a successful stop at Single Origin, giving plenty of reasons for future visits spending time in the St. Lazarus District or Tap Seac Square. You can also try their other little place called Blooom near Jardim Vasco de Gama and Communal Table, a coffee shop and cafe nearer to the Historic...

Small cozy cafe further from town. We were lucky to get a seat at 3pm ish but people were streaming in after. There are also seats upstairs but otherwise you can do takeaway and drink outside the shop.

You can order easily via the QR Code but generally takes awhile for the coffee to be served. We waited about 20-30mins. We had the a special cheesecake with sichuan spiced cream which was surprisingly good. Mild taste of the mala but nothing too overwhelming.

We also bought two of their signature coffee. Have to say that the presentation was 100 points. Coffee was good but tasted abit more like dessert. I prefer the chilli mocha (?) on the right.

Overall nice place to chill and drink. Just be prepared to wait...
