Kubrick — Artsy bookstore and cafe in Yau Ma Tei with all-day breakfast

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again — 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 its All-Day Breakfast ($128). 

Wifi: No
Pet-friendly: No
Opening hours: Daily, 11:30am to 9pm
Address: Kubrick, Shop H2, G/F, Prosperous Garden, 3 Public Square Street, Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon, Hong Kong

Begin Coffee — Hidden coffee shop in Mong Kok with outdoor seating

Hidden in a Mong Kok backstreet, this quirky fourth-floor café is a hipster’s dream — think vintage decor, unobstructive background music, inventive desserts and (our favourite) plenty of plug sockets for your laptop! For the sweet tooths, we highly recommend the Affogato ($43)! Also, not that it only accepts cash or FPS!

Wifi: Yes
Pet-friendly: Yes
Opening hours: Daily, 12pm to 11pm
Address: Begin Coffee, 4/F, Hanwai Commercial Centre, 36 Dundas Street, Mong Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong

Halfway Coffee — Mong Kok coffee shop with old-school charm

If you’ve been to Halfway Coffee in Sheung Wan, the Mong Kok spot will feel super familiar with its signature old-meets-new vibe — think distressed concrete walls, industrial art, hanging plants, light wooden tables and quirky mismatched stools.

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

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) and plenty of speciality drinks ($45 to $56), Loop Kulture really has it all. We’re also obsessed with the Caramelised Banana Pain Perdu ($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: 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 like 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: Fonji Cafe, G/F, Nam Fung Mansion, 5 Maple Street, Prince Edward, Kowloon, Hong Kong

Tai Wo Tang Cafe – Former medicine clinic in Kowloon City turned artsy cafe

Once a Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic, Tai Wo Tang is now a Kowloon City cafe staple! Aside from its coffee,  you’ve likely seen the fried chicken and Cantonese egg waffles ($138) on Instagram (weird in the best way), and another popular choice is the homemade pineapple bun with foie gras ($68).

Wifi: No
Pet-friendly: No
Opening hours: Daily, 8:30am to 6pm
Address: Tai Wo Tang Cafe, 24 Nga Tsin Long Road, Kowloon City, Kowloon, Hong Kong

BLTN — Causeway Bay cafe with yummy pastries and great coffee

Aside from stellar coffee and all-day breakfast, we also love the pet-friendly outdoor seating at BLTN — a rarity in Causeway Bay! Its a cosy and lesser-known spot, so despite its small size, you’re nearly guaranteed to find a good seat.

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!

Wifi: Yes
Pet-friendly: Yes
Opening hours: Daily, 8am to 10pm
Address: Blend & Grind, Shun Ho Building, 1 Sun Street, Wan Chai, Hong Kong
