8 Hotspots for Coffee Lovers in Hong Kong

In every city, we search for the best hotspots for coffee lovers. A list of the best coffee in Hong Kong was therefore a must-have in our extensive list. travel guideOf course, there are more great hipster coffee shops in Hong Kong, but these are the coffee hotspots we've actually visited and know are fun and good. As an iced latte lover, I'm thrilled that you can get this coffee everywhere in Hong Kong!

The Sheung Wan district is home to many great hotspots. Most shops also offer takeaway coffee if you want to spend your time exploring the city. Most micro-roasteries take their coffee making very seriously, so don't be surprised if you have to wait a while for your coffee. Lithuania, VilniusYou might also have to wait outside because some coffee shops are tiny. I'm curious to know what your favorite coffee spot in Hong Kong will be! Enjoy the tips from this list.

Come with me to get breakfast in Taipei 🥢

Straight from the airport to this little place to taste soup dumplings and so much more! That's what I call a soft landing 😉 <3

In Taipei, you go to a Soy Milk Shop for breakfast. Warm soy milk to eat in a bowl, and steam baskets with the tastiest dumplings and baozi. You can really wake me up for this kind of breakfast. These local breakfast spots come in all shapes and sizes, from Michelin-recommended spots to hole-in-the-wall stalls.

Most soy milk shops open early (and sometimes even 24 hours a day), and these are the dishes you want to try:
🥄 Warm soy milk
🥢 Soup dumplings (you can often choose between pork and veggies)
🥢 Pork baozi
🥢 Youtiao (油條 - a kind of fried donut stick)
🥢 Youtiao (油條) w/ pork floss & rice
🥢 Turnip cake
🥢 Chives pancake
🥢 Scallion pancake

TIP: Sharing is a good idea to taste as much as possible, because the portions are (often) large.

You'll want to remember these soy milk shops for your future trip to Taipei:
📍Fuhang Soy Milk
📍Soy Milk Shop
📍Yong He Soya Milk King (Da'an)
📍Sihai Soy Milk

I am currently touring Taiwan, and you can also find all the tips in my Stories Highlight.

Have you ever been to Taiwan? I'm curious if you thought it was *that* amazing!

Just back from Catalonia and I thought: I'll share some tips right away.

During our road trip, we stayed two nights in the Ebro Delta. An incredibly fun stop for families and foodies, where there is plenty to do.

• A boat trip to the Musclarium is a must! Here you eat oysters and mussels straight from the farm, in the middle of the sea.

· Admire the flamingos and black ibises that can be found here all year round.

· Rice is grown in the Ebro Delta all year round. For paella, but Kensho also makes sake and miso from it! You can visit them during a tasting.

Cycling along the rice fields, canoeing on the Ebro River, and visiting various beaches. It was still a bit too cold right now, but there is plenty to do.

• The towns are very low-key and not that exciting, but you can find fantastic local food there. From the Michelin-awarded Les Moles* to local eateries like Vermuteria Bonmarisc and Lo Tinglado. We ate a lot of fish, but also anemone fritters (a first!).

Now back to work, and I’m going to create an extensive travel guide of this road trip through Catalonia, but you’ll want to save these tips for a future adventure.

8 of the best coffee in Hong Kong

Black Sugar Coffee & LifestyleFor the very best coffee in Hong Kong, on the border between Mong Kong and Ho Man Ting, head to Black Sugar Coffee. It's essentially a coffee shop meets concept store, as you can also buy quirky Hong Kong-style items.
Peace Mansion, 8 Peace Ave, Ho Man Tin, Hong Kong – Facebook page

The Cupping Room RoasteryAnother great spot for good coffee in Hong Kong, in the Sheung Wan district, is The Cupping Room. It's a great place for coffee, but also for lunch. The eggs Benedict and the croque monsieur are excellent!
Shop LG, 287-299 Queen's Road Central, Central, Hong Kong – cuppingroom.hk

The Coffee Academics: In the Victoria Harbour City Mall my regular spot for a coffee break is The Coffee Academics. The iced latte is very tasty there!
Harbor City, 3-27 Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong – the-coffeeacademics.com

Hazel & Hershey Coffee Roasters: Ready for a coffee break? At Hazel & Hershey Coffee Roasters, you can not only buy the best equipment for making coffee at home, but you can also order slow-brewed coffee and avocado toast.
Shop 3, 69 Peel, Central, Hong Kong – hazelnhershey.com

Urban Coffee Roasters: Full = full, and I can't call the staff very friendly. It is, however, one of the best coffee shops in Kowloon! Definitely hipster style. A great place for brunch on the weekend, but you're also in the right place for a coffee to go, expertly brewed for you.
Hong Mei Building, 135 Lai Chi Kok Rd, Tai Kok Tsui, Hong Kong – Facebook page

best coffee in Hong Kong

Brew Bros CoffeeJust around the corner from Dim Sum Square, you'll find Brew Bros Coffee. A Melbourne-style coffee shop serving Australian coffee. Tip: They also have Chai Lattes and offer breakfast and lunch.
33 Hillier St, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong – Facebook page

Common GroundSheung Wan has several good coffee shops, but Common Ground is definitely one of my favorites. It's also a great place to relax with your laptop if, like me, you often work from abroad.
19 Shing Wong St, Central, Hong Kong – Facebook page

Knockbox CoffeeRight next to TAP in Mong Kok, you'll find Knockbox Coffee. Go here for professionally brewed coffee and the most delicious pastries!
Ground Floor, 21 Hak Po Street Mong Kok, Hong Kong – Facebook page
