Sai Ying Pun.

A hill worth climbing.

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.
