There're two things to note if you want to drink the coffee here -- 1) get up before noon and 2) ignore the previous location pinned on the map here (hopefully by the time this is published the pinned location would have been corrected).I have no idea when this place opens but it closes at 12:00.

I have no idea when this place opens but it closes at 12:00. Fortunate for my locust friend and I, despite our serious detour due to the misplaced pin (which was a few street blocks away by the way), we managed to find Coffee Ming. Note that this place is not on any main street -- you need to turn into some sort of alley to reach here. As a pointer: find 紅街市, then follow 高士德大馬路 (on the red market side) to the southeast. Walk past the HSBC then turn LEFT (it's not a proper road). You should see Coffee Ming straight ahead. Looking back from coffee ming to the entrance:
We got ourselves the coffee, noodles and toast. The noodles were slightly soggy but other than that good. The coffee was nice as well -- a less refined, less deliberate flavour than the coffee found in other places, but good coffee nonetheless.
What we liked most of this place was the atmosphere. Everybody sit on XXS sized chairs with butts almost touching the floor (which turned out to be surprisingly comfortable) and cleanliness wasn't expected by anyone. Nobody pretend that this is an elegant restorante ming and everybody is happy with the coffee. Everybody was friendly and willing to share, turning this somewhat run-down stall into a relaxing escape.
