Flash Coffee is a chain of coffee shops that have opened throughout Hong Kong. Originally from Jakarta, Indonesia, the flashy yellow shops are mostly geared for take away.

I added a red velvet cookie ($40) and there was an 8% discount. The cookie was from Cookie Dept so there wasn't any surprises here. It was good. Soft and chewy. Probably the only thing good I ordered.
Coffee was terrible so will not be back. It may not be expensive but not good at all. I've had better coffee at McCafe.
