WHY GO

A café that makes its neighbourhood part of the experience: vintage porcelain, old Hong Kong details and the antique shops of Cat Street on the doorstep. The reason to choose it is the whole coffee ritual.

OUR ORDER

A flat white in a vintage porcelain cup, or a longan honey latte for something sweeter. Rose and black-sugar lattes are other choices highlighted in Foodie’s August 2026 guide.
