There is more room to this Blue Pool Road stop than its street frontage suggests: the branch has seating at the front and a courtyard behind. Choose it for a relaxed breakfast over coffee, toast or a breakfast bowl before exploring the Valley.

OUR ORDER

A flat white with a toastie or breakfast bowl from the current menu.

Sinbad moved from its Kwun Tong kiosk to Happy Valley in 2024. The small-batch roaster aims to express the crop and its origin with a balanced cup, making this a good place to turn a quick coffee break into a conversation about beans.

OUR ORDER

A piccolo or flat white, then ask about the seasonal beans for home brewing.

G/F, 31 Wong Nai Chung Road, Happy Valley

Head to Wong Nai Chung Road; older guides may still point to the former Kwun Tong kiosk.
