Sonia Coffee is one of those small yet old coffee shops that you find in Japan. Not following the trendy third wave coffee scene. Adhering to traditional syphon method of serving coffee and traditional coffee shop items like the hotcake and ice cream parfait. Maybe you'll find curry rice or omurice. All served in pretty tea cups. This was how Japan used to serve their coffee and you can still find them with a bit of research. Thus when I heard that this place opened in Hong Kong, I went to give
Sonia Coffee is originally from Kyoto and has been in business for over 50 years. The location in Hong Kong is inside Moko Shopping Center. They tried to recreate the same decor as the original shop in a mall setting.
They sell the beans that are roasted from the coffee shop in Japan.
They also have a cake display.
If you wish for syphon coffee, they have a sign for what beans they will be using that day. One cup costs $75.
If you order a syphon coffee, you can choose a pretty tea cup to drink in.
Menu is in English, Japanese and Chinese. They offer all sorts of hot meals and desserts along with a variety of coffee and other drinks. They do offer a dessert set which includes a drink under $40. Over that price, you just add on to it. We decided to just order dessert.
Boyfriend ordered the Purple Sweet Potatoe Latte (add $6). Definitely do not order this as this is a coffee place. He even regretted it. It was just milk with powdered sweet potato.
I ordered a Latte (comes with the dessert set). This was very nice. Strong roast that went down smooth. A hint of nuttiness. A good temperature with a right amount of milk to espresso.
We chose one Hotcake ($88 for one piece). You can choose two pieces but one was more than enough as it was quite big. It was the traditional Japanese ones before the souffle pancake trend pushed it out of the way. It was nice and fluffy. Soft and eggy. A simple square of butter and some powdered sugar was all it neede. The honey was flowery and was the perfect addition.
We also ordered the Sonia Speciality Pudding ($68). The other pudding doesn't come with cream but we wanted cream! And the cream was fantastic. Slightly sweet and airy like a cloud. The pudding was delicious. A strong eggy taste with a wonderful caramel topping. It was so soft and delicate.
The desserts were wonderful and paired well with the good cup of coffee. It was nice to get a blast from the past and would be back as well.
