A neighbourhood of steep streets and very good reasons to stop halfway up. Pick a spacious coffeehouse near the tram line, or keep climbing for a smaller specialist on Centre Street.
Choose Bohemian House when you want to settle into the coffee-making world for a while. The café was designed around a long bar and visible roasting area; combine that sense of theatre with brunch before tackling Sai Ying Pun’s uphill streets.
OUR ORDER
Ask about the current single-origin pour-over, with a breakfast toast if you are hungry.

Locally roasted specialty beans give this Centre Street shop its purpose. Put it on your list when you want the coffee itself to lead the conversation.

Ask for a recommendation from the current bean selection.

The familiar black cinema-style sign marks a neighbourhood coffee-and-cocktail bar. A good choice for a casual catch-up over the locally roasted house blend.
