8/10 plates emptied!
Yes! 8 plates emptied which is considered a pretty good score for this petite hidden coffee shop along Gough Street where you have all the popular tourist eating spots of Shing Huen Yuen（胜香园）and Kau Kee Restaurant（九记牛腩）on Gough Street. Elephant Grounds has been attracting as much attention amongst foodbloggers for its innovative and mouth drooling ice cream sandwiches.
But this was not the reason why I was here. I somehow just managed to pass by Elephant Grounds during lunchtime and felt like it was time to pay this place a visit as it has been sitting on my to-try list for too long. Elephant Grounds succeeded in becoming one of my favourite coffee shops in Hong Kong for its laidback yet radiant ambience, harmonic and edgy coffee, and imperfect yet delightful cookies.

不得了，咖啡一喝便知龙与凤，是环境有影响吗？小小的咖啡店，却在户外面对住九如坊公园的观景，自然光充足，周围都种了几棵大树，给人一种懒洋洋的优闲调子。为甚么今天不是星期六？因为不知道喝甚么好，店员介绍了Dark Roasted Latte，但我却点了一杯Mocha。诚然，懂得喝咖啡的都不会点选朱古力咖啡，好像不太能够试得出咖啡店的功架。原来我错了。杯子上印有大象的脚，非常可爱，咖啡拉花不是最漂亮的，但奶泡算是浓稠适中。呷一口，这杯Mocha的味道来得极其惊艳。咖啡味浓且香，朱古力味道没有抢过咖啡本身的风头，却把层次升华了。每一口的咖啡都带著那股烘焙得浓浓的咖啡豆香气，还有甜度适中的朱古力味，让一杯看似平凡的咖啡变得不一样。味道与香滑的口感是超凡的，朱古力和咖啡一起奏出一首优美的歌曲。喝完一杯，已经想点多一杯。

友人点了一杯Flat White，较多奶的咖啡，但味道上一样有浓浓烧香的咖啡豆味，味道上好像不太乎合Flat White的要求，多一点奶会比较好。个人还是喜欢让人感到惊喜的Mocha多点。
On the left hand side, my friend ordered a cup of Flat White which was not profoundly exquisite yet considered fairly decent. The rather intense dark roast coffee tone stood out but for a standard of Flat White, we were expecting a milkier and creamier flavor.

This little journey is not over, not until you take a bite of sweets to go with the nicely brewed coffee. Cookie time! Elephant Grounds offer a variety of choices for their cookies and I handpicked Salted Caramel Chocolate Cookie for a Monday to kill my blues. It was a very soft, chewy-like type of cookie, not my personal favorite and it did tasted more like a brownie for texture-wise. Loved the boldness of the flavor as the huge flakes of sea salt toned down some of the overly sugary caramel filling in the middle of the cookie, you may not really like it for it’s too sweet for most of the people. But I liked my cookie just the way it was, it was a bit dry but crumbly good to go with the robust coffee on the side.
喜爱闲来享受一杯咖啡的我，绝对认为Elephant Grounds在环境虽然地方细细，但烘焙的咖啡和甜食都非常有诚意。不太造作但这小店却很有edge，在香港地也算是难得。
Elephant Grounds in the Woaw Store on Gough Street DID woah me away. Only if I had more time to enjoy a cup of delicacy every now and then, it would have made my life so much better.
