Market-town espresso and a slow breakfast

Build a coffee outing around two sides of Sheung Shui: Let It Be’s espresso and local art in Shek Wu Hui, then a breakfast table at Everglow in Sunningdale Garden. Choose one for a short stop, or give the morning to both.

The window onto the street is part of the appeal here. In Zolima CityMag’s April 2025 visit, owner Dannis Yeung describes aiming for a clean, juicy coffee and a place where neighbours can gather. Espresso comes from a La Marzocco machine, while art by Sheung Shui residents gives the walls a local voice. We would make this the coffee-first stop in the neighbourhood, leaving time to ask about the beans and look around.

OUR ORDER

Start with an espresso and ask about the day’s beans. If you want something sweet alongside it, ask what dessert is available: April 2025 reporting highlighted collaborations with local growers, including a seasonal strawberry chocolate fondant. That particular dessert is not confirmed on today’s menu.

Shop D, G/F, 1 Fu Hing Street, Sheung Shui

Look for the black Everglow sign against the brick frontage. This is our breakfast-led pick: U Lifestyle’s August 2026 guide lists cold brew alongside eggs Benedict, avocado-and-egg bagels and black-truffle scrambled eggs. Concrete walls and wooden furniture set the scene for a sit-down pause. Come for a coffee and something substantial before exploring the neighbourhood.

OUR ORDER

Pair cold brew with eggs Benedict, or choose the avocado-and-egg bagel for a smaller meal. These suggestions come from published coverage; confirm the day’s food and coffee menu when ordering.

Shop 5A, G/F, Sunningdale Garden, 8 Chi Cheong Road, Sheung Shui

The guide lists Monday and Wednesday–Friday 7:30am–6pm; weekends and public holidays 9am–6pm; closed Tuesday. Call 3568 0921 to check. Coffee origins, roast details and current hand-drip service are unconfirmed. Our map marks Sunningdale Garden; find Shop 5A on the ground floor.
