Here's 2 cafe / coffee shop I visited recently (plus Laduree's tea room in Times Square... but I was so disappointed at that one it is not even worth mentioning...) Both would be superb if there were fewer customers but I guess it's too much to ask for when you are going out on a weekend in Hong Kong... On face value, I prefer Coffee Academics a little bit more, probably because I went there later in the afternoon and it was quieter with fewer people.
Would I return to either of these places? For a friends' gathering? Absolutely. But if I just want a quiet afternoon, I probably would just stay at home. I can't brew excellent coffee but at least my apartment is nice and quiet.. i.e., if I ignored the traffic and the occasional siren from the ambulance... noise is just an inevitable part of living in Hong Kong.

Coffee Academics @ CWB

| My first time trying ice-dripped distilled coffee, in a wine glass no less! Pretty pricey (~HKD$100) but I wasn't sophisticated enough to enjoy it. (I ended up having to add milk in it, which is a big no-no but that's the only way I can finish it) It was sour to me, even though the barista said the bean isn't (It was the Geisha bean) I felt like drinking Chinese herbal medicine... LOL |
