Popped in for a light snack, coffee pick-me-up and air con after an afternoon spent meandering around the Hebe Haven peninsula and slowly walking my way to Sai Kung. At 4pm on a public holiday weekend it was strangely quiet.
I ordered a latte and a croissant. Before my order arrived the guy who was waiting on me brought me a glass of water, (which he attentively filled again when I drank it all). The coffee arrived in a glass rather than a cup and before I touched the glass I was worried that they had made me an iced latte, but it was a good temperature. The croissant had also been heated and I enjoyed smelling the buttery aroma before I ate it. Both tasted good, the coffee had that 18 grams taste, I'm not sure how to describe it, a little bitter and dark tasting but also there's a hint of berries like blueberry in the initial sip.
The only thing which was somewhat unpleasant about the experience was that the other staff (who clearly had little to do given how quiet the place was), spent a good deal of time staring at me and on at least one occasion a female waiter talked to a male waiter about me and they both stared. I guess I was a change from staring at empty tables. However the waiter who served me did a very good job despite his colleagues letting him down. (The service would have scored a five for being faultless had they not made me feel uncomfortable.)
Try it out if your in the area and want a coffee with a slightly more nuanced taste than Starbucks.
