Jordan.

Temple Street, before the evening.

Jordan has coffee on both sides of Nathan Road: REVOL on Tak Shing Street, Studio Caffeine on Temple Street, house-roasted coffee at Zombie and Hidden Coffee, and Good Day’s tiny counter towards Ferry Point. Passepartout adds brunch on Min Street, Alternative brings coffee and books together on Woosung Street, and Liberty pairs milk coffee with crêpes on southern Temple Street. BAD Coffee adds a daytime stop inside Alhambra Building near the Yau Ma Tei boundary.

Milk coffee and banana crêpes on Temple Street

Make room for a sweet stop at the southern end of Temple Street. Liberty’s wood-toned room has indoor tables and a few seats outside, with enough of a food menu to turn coffee into lunch. A review published in April 2025 pairs sea-salt caramel latte and dark mocha with banana crêpes; a March 2025 visit recommends the rose milk coffee. Choose this café for a leisurely catch-up over a flavoured milk coffee and something warm from the kitchen.

OUR ORDER

A sea-salt caramel latte or Belgian dark mocha with banana crêpes, chocolate sauce and tofu ice cream, if available. Rose milk coffee is another published visitor pick. The operator introduced new crêpe flavours in January 2026, so ask which ones are being made today.

Shop 1, G/F, Po Fat Building, 285 Temple Street, Jordan

The operator’s January 2026 Jordan post lists weekdays 11am–10pm and weekends 10am–10pm; Waze gives the same hours. Call or WhatsApp 5543 9342 to check coffee last orders or book a table. Some directories give an 11am weekend opening. Drink recommendations and the photograph were published in 2025, so flavours and accompaniments may change. This is the Temple Street branch, separate from Liberty’s Dundas Street and Quarry Bay cafés.

Turn off Shanghai Street and make Min Street the breakfast stop. Passepartout’s blue frontage, brick walls and timber tables set the scene for dishes named after cities. An April 2026 visitor recommends the flat white and the Steveston breakfast, with its house-made pork patties. There is a playful coffee choice too: osmanthus rice-wine foam coffee. Come hungry, and allow for a compact room that can fill up even on weekdays.

OUR ORDER

A flat white with the Steveston breakfast, or ask for the osmanthus rice-wine foam coffee. A separate April 2025 visitor enjoyed the Steveston pancakes with hot vanilla milk coffee. Menus change, so check the day’s selection.

G/F, Ka Sing Building, 1A Min Street, Jordan; also listed as 1 Min Street

Plan a daytime visit: OpenRice lists 10am–4pm daily and a 90-minute dining limit; Petsona gives a later weekend close of 4:30pm. Call 2882 0828 to confirm hours, last orders and booking. Reviews describe generous portions, tight seating and prices above a quick coffee stop. Find the blue Min Street shop; older directories still show the former Causeway Bay address.

Alternative Café

Give the barista a few minutes to talk you through the beans. Inside Breakthrough’s bookshop, Alternative pairs a working coffee counter with shelves to browse before or after your cup. Its parent organisation runs a roastery and coffee training for young people, while recent visitors praise the help choosing coffee. Ask for the current hand-drip selection, then decide whether a bag belongs in your kitchen too. This small Woosung Street café makes a rewarding pause between the busier shopping streets.

OUR ORDER

Ask which house-roasted coffee is available for hand-drip, or choose a flat white. For lunch, look for the chicken-and-avocado sandwich recommended in a November 2025 visit. An October 2024 visitor enjoyed coffee mixed with apple juice; ask whether that option is still available.

G/F, Breakthrough Centre, 191 Woosung Street, Jordan

Wanderlog lists Monday–Saturday 8am–6pm, Sunday closed; call 6513 7994 for current café and kitchen hours before an early or late visit. Seating is limited. The coffee counter and bookshop have separate operations, so bookshop hours do not establish coffee service. Bean lots and special drinks rotate; the photographed tasting-flight offer dates from October 2024 and is not a current price promise.

Step off Nathan Road and into Alhambra Building for one of the area’s smallest coffee breaks. The sliding door opens onto dark wood, a tiny counter and the feel of an old Hong Kong office. Tatler recommends an Americano here; take that straightforward route and let the room be the change of scenery. With roughly eight seats, it suits a solo stop or a quiet catch-up for two before the evening bar service begins.

OUR ORDER

A hot Americano during the daytime coffee service. Ask about the beans at the counter; the current lot is not published. Come for coffee before 5pm.

Shop 19, G/F, Alhambra Building, 385 Nathan Road, Yau Ma Tei

Wednesday–Sunday: coffee 11am–5pm, bar from 7pm until late; closed Monday and Tuesday. Walk-ins only. Look inside Alhambra Building for shop 19. Its address is commonly listed as Yau Ma Tei; this guide groups it with nearby Jordan stops around Kansu Street. Check the operator’s latest updates before a special trip.

Turn onto Tak Shing Street for a coffee stop that can comfortably become lunch. REVOL’s published menu gives milk-coffee drinkers a proper choice of piccolo, flat white and cappuccino, while elderflower espresso tonic offers a lighter afternoon direction. Customer reports describe fruity and nutty bean options, so ask what is available before ordering. Come for a small coffee, or settle in with the signature carbonara if you are hungry.

OUR ORDER

A piccolo or flat white, asking about the available beans. For a cold drink, try the elderflower espresso tonic; add the REVOL spaghetti carbonara if this is your lunch stop.

Shop 5, G/F, Fortune Terrace, 4–16 Tak Shing Street, Jordan

Call 3702 0170 for current dine-in hours: directory closing times differ, and delivery hours are a separate schedule. This is the Jordan café; the former Johnston Road branch in Wan Chai has closed. Beans and the counter selection can change.

Behind the dark-blue shopfront, Zombie takes coffee seriously without keeping the menu solemn. Time Out’s July 2026 profile notes its in-house roasting, while the published menu offers several pour-over tiers alongside double-shot espresso drinks. Choose it for a bean conversation, or make a warm afternoon more interesting with Zombie Black, the shop’s iced Coca-Cola coffee.

OUR ORDER

Start with the Origin pour-over and ask about the day’s beans, or order Zombie Black for iced Coca-Cola coffee. Portobello-and-poached-egg toast turns the stop into a light lunch.

Shop 1, G/F, 9–13 Kwun Chung Street, Jordan

Time Out lists weekdays 8am–7pm and weekends/public holidays 9am–7pm. Call 3705 1090. Pour-over tiers do not identify fixed bean lots online; ask at the counter before choosing.

House-roasted hand-drip and rose espresso to take away

Look for the blue folding doors near Kansu Street. Hidden Coffee brings its Tuen Mun roasting operation to a tiny Jordan takeaway counter, with hand-drip alongside a surprisingly varied espresso menu. Start with the day’s filter beans if coffee is the point of the detour. For a cold signature, try Rose: espresso mixed with rose tea steeped cold for 48 hours. A scone or brownie makes this a coffee-and-snack stop before exploring the nearby market streets.

OUR ORDER

Ask about today’s hand-drip beans, or choose the iced Rose signature for espresso with cold-brew rose tea. The cucumber latte is another distinctive option; add a scone if available.

Shop 13, G/F, Honour House, 2–10 Woosung Street, Jordan

Takeaway only. The operator provisionally lists daily 11am–7pm, with last orders at 6:30pm; call the branch on 9660 1616 to confirm. Honour House is also addressed as 375–381 Nathan Road and called King Hon Building in some reviews. Find shop 13 on the Woosung Street side. Beans and bakes vary; delivery prices may differ.

Head towards Ferry Point for a much smaller coffee stop. Good Day’s Man Ying Street shop has only a handful of seats, so it suits a solo pause or a conversation for two. The cucumber espresso soda is the distinctive order; published customer accounts also describe hand-drip coffee and house-made desserts. Ask what is brewing and what is on the counter rather than arriving with a fixed cake in mind.

OUR ORDER

Try the signature cucumber espresso soda, or ask for today’s hand-drip options. Add a small bake from the counter if something catches your eye.

Shop B, G/F, Man King Building, 25 Man Ying Street, Jordan

Also listed as 25B Man Ying Street. Call 2330 0111 for current opening days: online listings disagree about Monday service. Seating is very limited and the beans and bakes vary.
