WHY GO

For a coffee stop with a distinctly Hong Kong accent, take a seat at Tai On. Its old tea-restaurant setting now frames espresso drinks and updated café food. The pairing to build a visit around is simple: a yuen yeung latte and an egg tart. It is an appealing change of pace between the neighbourhood’s more minimal coffee counters.

OUR ORDER

Yuen yeung latte with an egg tart; ask which tarts have just come out. Keep this as a coffee-and-snack stop if you are continuing a café walk.
