Breakfast In Hong Kong – Three Cafes To Visit
Yes, I went to Hong Kong and ate avocado on toast everyday. I know what I like. Here are the best breakfast cafes in Hong Kong to get your avocado on toast fix in Hong Kong. Other breakfast items are available at them all.
1. The Cupping Room, Sheung Wang
287 – 299 Queen’s Road Central
Grabbing a seat at the bar in the Cupping Room was the perfect Hong Kong first day breakfast experience. The brunch menu is served until 5pm so there’s no rush to get up early but the tiny cafe was pretty busy at 10.30am on a Monday morning. The avocado toast comes with mayo, ricotta cheese, almonds and radish on sourdough – a slightly different take on my favourite breakfast menu item. The house black filter coffee with oat milk on the side was delicious, too. Service was super speedy and while the tiny space doesn’t really encourage one to linger over breakfast for too long, staff were friendly, taking our orders on a iPad to go directly to the tiny open kitchen, and we didn’t feel rushed to give up our spots.
2. Brew Bros, Central
33 Hillier Street
Another small but perfectly formed cafe, Brew Bros was recommended by the team at Hilton Suggests who got in touch while I was in Hong Kong to see if I needed any recommendations. Obviously I asked where I could eat avocado on toast and drink good coffee. The Brew Bros HK$90 set breakfast menu has a range of dishes served with a choice of black or white coffee. The avocado on toast here was really simple but really delicious, served on a thick slice of sourdough. Another great spot for a speedy breakfast to fuel a day of exploring the city and my pick for a slice of HK cafe culture if I had to chose a favourite.
3. The Coffee Academics
38 Yiu Wa Street, Causeway Bay
Hopping over to Causeway Bay for the third and final Hong Kong breakfast, The Coffee Academics is a bigger space so perfect for lingering over coffee and breakfast, and for doing a spot of people-watching. A chain across HK, Singapore and China, The Coffee Academics has a menu dedicated to, no prizes, coffee. There’s also a mostly Western all day food menu. The breakfast menu includes avocado on toast and each dish comes with a coffee of choice. This was delicious but I would have liked a little more avocado, there was some hiding under the salad. Service is speedy and the food and coffee was great but this definitely felt more like a cafe that could be at home (and be a regular spot to drop into) in any big city rather than a quintessentially HK experience.
These look so delicious. Makes me really want to go back to HK.
Oooh I've never been to Hong Kong but I would definitely go just for the food haha. I especially love the idea of the second one!Amy;Wandering Everywhere
