Coffee & Breakfast
& Green Café
G/F, Harbour Place, 8 Oi King Street, Hung Hom
Best café to work from home
Lush, clean and inviting — & Green café is filled with green foliage among their wooden interior. With plenty of seating, it’s a great place to sit and work from home or study from if you need a change of scenery. Graze all day on their Japanese inspired menu with their Takoyaki Sandwich or try their Chicken Hamburger Curry. For something sweet go for the light airy Salted Caramel Banana Pancakes that’ll have you floating on cloud 9.

NOC Whampoa
G/F, Lily Mansions (Site 9), The Whampoa, Hung Hom
Best take away coffee
Hong Kong born coffee chain NOC (which did you know stands for ‘Not Only Coffee’?) also happens to have a beautiful minimalistic space in Whampoa. It goes without saying that there’s no wrong choice when it comes to coffee at NOC from your Flat White to Cappuccino or Cold Brew on tap. If you’re feeling adventurous, give the Fizzpresso a try. As they’re Not Only Coffee, we highly recommend their Scrambled Crab Toast or French Toast Waffle for those hunger pangs.
