Knockbox Coffee Company (Moved) New Location

Friend and I decided to have dinner here tonight. Unfortunately, we made the wrong decision. Fish and chips were soggy and only mildly warm. Likewise for the full English breakfast set; the sausages and tomato slice were soggy. The toasts were cold and there was nothing special about the bread. In fact, both dishes tasted rather dull. Only the scrambled eggs was commendable as it tasted freshly made.The Columbian black coffee that was tried did not disappoint us. Though expensive, we enjoyed the

只有半小時的空間，精神有點差，想喝一杯好咖啡，於是找來了Knockbox。週末中午時段顧客頗多，店內的數張圓枱都坐滿了，只剩下一排高櫈。反正也是一個人，又不打算坐著渡過整個下午，也不太介意。坐高櫈反而可以細心欣賞那塊精心設計的手寫/繪黑版，介紹了不同種類的咖啡、開辦的課程及咖啡店的原則。很欣賞店方對咖啡的詳細介紹，透過圖畫、文字及數字介紹了不受咖啡的成分，令我這也有機會學習學習。餐單可供選擇的食物多是三文治及酥餅類，也有All Day Breakfast, Egg Benedict 和Fish & Chips。最後決定點Salmon Egg Benedict 試試看! 別看它賣相普通，但卻是相當有水準! 兩隻蛋都是預期的呈流心狀，放在三文魚之上。底部兩塊厚鬆餅很鬆軟，加上帶點酸的蛋黃醬，讓我越吃越開胃!初來報到，保守地點了一杯Latte。漂亮的拉花往往讓人覺得它是一杯有水準的咖啡。果然，咖啡很滑，喝上口完全沒有苦澀味，奶泡綿密。喝了整杯咖啡後感覺回復精神，好讓我繼續下午緊密的行程!第二次來到，點了一份蘋果酥及一杯Piccolo。店員將蘋果酥翻熱後送上，很細心! 原以為蘋果酥內的餡料會是

在旺角想找一間不用"滾水淥腳"離開的COFFEE SHOP 真是十分困難,幸好走遠點便發現此店,一進店店員已很有禮貌的打招呼,對於不懂COFFEE 的我,只叫了一杯穩陣的CAPPO,CAPPO 偏重奶味,但沒有因而蓋過COFFEE的味道,不禁一口接一口完成......CAPPO拉花很漂亮,拉花形狀很功整,形狀維持很久都沒有散開,值得一讚....在店途中,有不太懂用磨豆機的客人到來指教,店員很細心的講解再次加分建議可嘗它的expresso加雪糕(因本人不能嘗太濃的關係,沒有嘗到,見別人點了很有趣)本人覺得COFFEE不加糖可更嘗真其味道(果真跟連鎖店的不一樣)大家到旺角不妨走遠一點來支持一下本地coffee小店

裝修走英倫風的Knockbox除了店鋪漂亮、咖啡好喝外，這裡更是咖啡愛好者的學店。顧客到來不單單是為了一杯出色的咖啡，更是到來向咖啡師學習精品咖啡，或結識其他咖啡愛好者。這裡的一款自家烘培、混豆的咖啡更在知名的Coffee Review上得到94的高分！要打造一間咖啡氛圍如此濃厚的店，當然是因為店主Patrick對咖啡的熱誠。當年Patrick到英國公幹時在倫敦街頭被濃烈的咖啡香吸引著，看著帶點嬉皮的檔主在木頭車中沖個不亦樂乎，便和他聊起了咖啡經。有一週，檔主忽然消失了，原來他到了大西洋彼岸的美國參加了咖啡比賽並得到獎項。原來這位勝出者是Gwilym Davies，他亦以生命影響生命，令Patrick愛上咖啡，也在香港開設了咖啡店。店主Patrick把咖啡的熱誠由倫敦帶到香港，首先在上環開設了他的試業店，後來又搬到了旺角。現在的咖啡店帶點英倫的風格：深綠色的木門、長長的木吧枱、高身木櫈、黑板上寫着本星期的咖啡選豆。選好豆，選好沖法，咖啡師就在你面前為你悉心調配，可細看由磨豆預備到完成的過程。客人和咖啡師，有如學生和老師，深入的作學術交流。所以稱Knockbox香港的精品咖啡文化的推手之

Knockbox delivers a good cup of coffee, but not quite as good as some of its competitors.We ordered two lattes and were given respectable coffees.  The location of Knockbox is a little bizarre and you have to go out of your way a little to enjoy their service.  The actual cafe is a standard small Hong Kong setup and has very little space, but a longish bar.  The coffees were smooth and strong, but were not quite as good as those at 18 Grams and RabbitHole.  The pricing is competitive at 35 dolla

第一次去時，覺得咖啡師的量豆和沖咖啡做法，有點像連鎖店式coffee shop的模樣，心中打了節扣，點了咖啡後，静待結果。手沖咖啡不錯，較多容易入口的natural咖啡豆，如果咖啡店可以引入多點種類，不論水洗或是日曬豆會更好，反正咖啡館也有開辦咖啡課程，多點選擇，讓顧客可以一邊品嚐一邊學習是件樂事。店內還有不少輕食類，但味道一般，前往多次的經驗是，要熱的食物不夠熱，如三文治和all day breakfast, 都是那些水平，沒有特別令人印象深刻的選擇，不過，平日下午可以$10配pastry, 選擇雖少，但味道反而比一般咖啡連鎖店的優勝，好像apple turnover，蘋果新鮮果醬濃郁，甘香的咖啡豆味道更佳，almond crossiant，甜味適中果仁味道芳香，配果酸味濃的espresso，回甘感覺十分不錯，加上tea set價錢合理，是配咖啡的好選擇，亦因此令人會追點咖啡和重覆幫襯。未搬舖前，印象中店員比較knowledgeable, 但這裡的店員則比舊舖親切友善得多，可以列入常到咖啡館！

If you read my earlier writing on Knockbox when it is still in Sheung Wan, you know that Knockbox is one of my favorite cafes in Hong Kong; the other café is Rabbithole Coffee Roaster. I regarded this duo as once a one two punch to Hong Kong coffee scene that helped raise the bar of the coffee several notches higher. While I would like this duo to maintain its role and remain the same, the only sure thing in this world is change. What's news? - Food and beer!Knockbox now serves food, real food t

Went to Festival Walk with my buddy so on our way home, we decided to stop here for a break. Environment+ Cleanliness:First of all, I love the green door of the cafe. It looks so retro and cool! Then stepping inside, it was a clean, bright place that was very welcoming, which could probably hold about 15-20 people. I wonder if they changed hands because the name changed and I didn't see the hazelnut cake, brioche or focaccia that I saw everyone talking about on openrice.  They were why I wanted

人在旺角，想飲杯對口味的咖啡，除了18grams外就很自然會想起黑布街上這間Knockbox。這日重臨，其實不特別留意也不知道原來最近店名已改回以前在上環用的Knockbox Coffee Company。不過除了招牌不一樣外，咖啡店裡外一切都還是那麼熟悉，和以前看來差別不大。咖啡店裝修簡約自然，加上店內播放著的輕快音樂，步伐和呼吸也會不自覺放慢。這日來杯latte吧，$35。咖啡調配師預備每杯咖啡時都會把咖啡粉放在一個小磅上量過確保份量穩定性，態度細心又認真。Latte的奶泡打得幼滑，咖啡入口時先嚐到淡淡的果酸香，之後就是咖啡的香甜。這杯咖啡喝起來味道均衡而質感很柔滑，咖啡的溫度亦剛好，十分對口味的咖啡，滿意！店內亦有提供數款牛角包，三文治，all day breakfast及甜撻等cafe food。此外，亦有賣自家烘培的咖啡豆可讓客人買回家自己預備咖啡。從來在各地見過的咖啡豆包裝都是全英語（或其他外語），用中文字印著「香港烘培」的真是首次遇見，超型！之前試過週末到訪，小店內坐滿兼站著不少等位的人客，顯得有點擠擁。與熱鬧的週末比較，此刻的咖啡店就彷如旺角鬧市中的一個小綠洲。能在忙碌
