Kubrick β€” Artsy bookstore and cafe in Yau Ma Tei with all-day breakfast

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again β€” it’s a crime against remote workers that Kubrick doesn’t have wifi! Nevertheless, this Yau Ma Tei bookstore and cafe is otherwise flawless, from its Instagrammable vibe to itsΒ All-Day BreakfastΒ ($128).Β

best cafes in hong kong, coffee shop, mong kok, begin coffee, outdoor seating

Begin Coffee β€” Hidden coffee shop in Mong Kok with outdoor seating

Hidden in a Mong Kok backstreet, this quirky fourth-floor cafΓ© is a hipster’s dream β€” think vintage decor, unobstructive background music, inventive desserts and (our favourite) plenty of plug sockets for your laptop!

best cafes hong kong, coffee shop, kowloon, whampoa, hung hom, NOC coffee company

NOC Coffee Co. – Large minimalistic cafe in Whampoa with in-house coffee beans

We know this cafe chain isn’t a hidden gem by any means, but the massive, airy Whampoa location is grossly underrated. We’re also biased fans of its $45 Mocha (the perfect balance of coffee and chocolate!) and the minimal decor across all NOC’s branches, which we find helps us focus when working.

Wifi: Yes
Pet-friendly: Yes
Opening hours: Daily, 8am to 8pm
Address: NOC Coffee Co., Shop G42, G/F, Site 9, Whampoa Garden, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong

best coffee shops hong kong, cafes, coffee, kowloon, sham shui po

Loop Kulture – Instagrammable cafe in Sham Shui Po with great food & coffee

Offering zero-waste products (from mostly local brands), a “chill tent” in the middle of the cafe, seriously strong coffees ($40 to $65)Β and plenty of speciality drinksΒ ($45 to $56), Loop Kulture really has it all. We’re also obsessed with the Caramelised Banana Pain PerduΒ ($118), a dessert that demands sharing! Just note it can get quite noisy during peak hours, so it’s not the best for studying.

Wifi: Yes
Pet-friendly: Yes
Opening hours: Daily, 10am to 6pm
Address:Β Loop Kulture, G/F, 90 Apliu Street, Sham Shui Po, Kowloon, Hong Kong

Fonji Cafe – Japanese retro-themed cafe in Prince Edward

This cosy cafe is tucked between Prince Edward and Sham Shui Po and remains a lesser-known gem. It feels likeΒ we’re at grandma’s thanks to the retro decor and indulgent chiffon cakes ($68) that taste homemade. Be warned, though, there’s a minimum charge of $100 per person, so don’t expect to just have a coffee ($35 to $60)!

Wifi: No
Pet-friendly:
Yes
Opening hours:
Tuesday to Sunday, 12pm to 7pm
Address:

Blend & Grind – Central & Wan Chai coffee shop with brunch and cocktails

Blend & Grind sits on a quiet corner in Wan Chai’s Streetstreet Precinct, while another location is perched right off the Mid-Levels Escalators in Central. After a recent refresh, the menu now leans toward stronger coffees like Long blacks, Macchiatos and Cortados. Both branches offer solid spots to work outside the house, though we’re partial to the Wan Chai venue, which stays open late and turns into a neighbourhood bar!
