Boyfriend and I met up with a friend for tea time who worked in the Kwun Tong area as we were planning some things for the Chinese New Year. She decided to meet up at a place called deFoodies where we could chat while grabbing a bite.deFoodies is actually part of a place that is also available for renting as an event space and as a coworking space called deHub. deFoodies is cafe part of this place.The cafe section has a cake display of the daily cakes and pastries.

The cafe section has a cake display of the daily cakes and pastries. They also serve sandwiches and salads, smoothies and drinks.
Menu is in English and Chinese. There is no 10% service charge. Sandwiches use bread from the former burger place called Shake 'em Buns. It appears they have collaborated with them.
All sandwiches come with a small salad for $58. Or you can order a salad and soup combo also for $58. All can add a bit more money for a drink or soup.
They also offer an afternoon tea menu that are more focused on light snacks.
Our friend and I shared a pot of rose tea ($42). The pot and tea cup were beautiful! The design was so lovely. The tea smelled fragrant and had a light perfumy taste.
Boyfriend wanted something sweeter so ordered a pineapple, peach and guava smoothie ($18). This was pretty delicious. Icy and smooth, it was super fruity. The right balance of sweet and sour.
I'm a cake kind of girl in the afternoon so decided on the Sable Gianduja cake ($38). This was so rich. A deep lush chocolate and hazelnut cake. It was so creamy and moorish. One can literally lick the plate.
Boyfriend decided on the Roast duck leg with potato wedges ($39). The duck leg had a small bit of blueberry jam on top to balance out the savory duck taste. The leg was smelled great and it was very moist. The wedges were soft n fluffy.
He added a lobster bisque ($18). This was really good. It was creamy with a strong lobster taste. One of the better lobter bisques I've had especially for this price.
My friend had the sliced roast beef, French onion au jus ($58). This came with a salad that was fairly fresh with a good amount of dressing. The bread was pretty good. It had a good tea and was crispy on the outside. The beef was sliced a bit thicker than expected but it was seasoned well. The onions were the best. It was sweet and seemed to have been cooked in apple cider.
Prices were not expensive and seating was very comfortable. Wifi is excellent and free. The food was pretty good and it is an excellent place to work or meet up for a chat. Would come back again.
