好吧，我是被这家cafe的人流而吸引进来的。话说有一个星期六的下午时候经过上环的Veygo Coffee，在门前看到cafe内坐满了食客，有很多人在吃burger，加上食物卖相挺好的，便决定有空时拜访。Alright, I was attracted to this cafe since it has become quite popular lately. It was a normal Saturday when I walked past Veygo Coffee and saw the little cafe full of people, many of them with burgers.正式再来的时候是一个闲日的中午时份，来吃午餐的上班一族也不少。店子不太大，装潢走简约路线。侍应们服务及态度都非常好，肯花不少时间回答客人的问题。打开餐牌还有点吓了一跳，有很多的选择呢，例如常见的brunch选择如all day breakfast, egg benedicts，还有沙律、不同款式的burger等。When I finally came here again it was a

正式再来的时候是一个闲日的中午时份，来吃午餐的上班一族也不少。店子不太大，装潢走简约路线。侍应们服务及态度都非常好，肯花不少时间回答客人的问题。打开餐牌还有点吓了一跳，有很多的选择呢，例如常见的brunch选择如all day breakfast, egg benedicts，还有沙律、不同款式的burger等。
When I finally came here again it was a weekday afternoon and many office workers came for lunch. TC and I got in. The cafe is not very specious, yet cozy with a simplistic style. Service from waiters/waitresses was good and they were willing to answer questions in length. I was pleasantly surprised to see the cafe offers a good variety of brunch food like all day breakfast, egg benedicts, salad and burgers.
但很快对这家cafe的好感幻灭。
Well, the good impression disappeared as fast as the speed of light.
咖啡 - 先来杯咖啡。没记错的话，我的一杯是creme brulee cappuccino。我的印象是，哗很甜！可能我一直都是在Cafe Habitu那里喝creme brulee cappuccino，而Cafe Habitu 的是咖啡上有一薄片的焦糖，用匙羹按下去会把那片焦糖切碎，而且下面的咖啡一点都不甜。但在Veygo Coffee的是完全不同的！因为它的creme brulee原来是指creme brulee味的糖浆。。。唉，真的是有早知无乞衣。另想强调的是这杯咖啡真的很很很很甜。连锁咖啡店的各式各样下不同味道糖浆的咖啡也没有这里的甜。
TC的那杯咖啡好像是Malt Latte或Malt Cappuccino，忘了是那款。但唯一记得的这杯甜得令人想反桌的味道！！对！又是非常非常甜的一杯！反正大家来的话就建议点最平凡的Latte、Cappuccino或Flat White，除非你嗜甜，那么你可以点这些特式咖啡挑战极限。
Coffee - First thing first, coffee. If I remember correctly, I ordered creme brulee cappuccino and it was so SWEET. I admit that my only other creme brulee cappuccino experience has always been with Cafe Habitu, which offers "real creme brulee", a thin piece of brunt caramel on top of the coffee, and the coffee is never sweet. The creme brulee cappuccino here is totally different. Creme brulee flavour syrup is used... I just wish to stress again that this coffee is really really sweet and be warned. It's even sweeter than the 'flavoured syrup coffee" you get from chain cafes.
What about TC's coffee? I remember it's either malt latte or malt cappuccino, I forget which but the only thing I can still remember vividly is the sweetness. It's so sweet that you wanna hit someone and go on a murder spree.
I strongly advise everyone to just order their normal latte, cappuccino or flat white etc unless you want to push the limit.
Malt Latte/Malt Cappuccino? - who cares? just don't order either
沙律 - 没记错的话，沙律是本身有一两款材料选择，想要多不同的配料可以逐款加钱，而逐款加钱是不便宜的(本身沙律的价钱亦是不便宜的)。如果你认为在一家走洋化的cafe内的沙律会有不错的质素，你的想法有一半是对的。菜不错，三文鱼有数片而车厘茄也新鲜。Salad -There are a couple of options to go with your salad vegetables and you can add more ingredients by paying more for each item. Take note it's not cheap. And if you think that you can get some decent salad in a cafe that is obviously of western style (or try to achieve), you are only half right. The vegetables were nice, there were few pieces of salmon and the cherry tomatoes were fresh.
不过，为了不会太单调及想吃多一点健康的蔬果，我加了两款配料，造成错误。额外加的菠萝不是新鲜的，付了不便宜的钱加配料却招惹了疑似罐头货。你能相信吗？反正我就是吃了。另外加的chickpea鹰嘴豆竟然是以焗炸好的形态上场。断估不会是自家焗炸吧，而且谁要在沙律中加上少量这些极不健康而又吃不出是鹰嘴豆的东东？
反正Veygo的沙律就是拿不同的现成即食的加工品给你。店方有多用心？
最后，大家可看到这沙律的份量少得可怜。
BUT, in order to consume more fruits and vegetables, I added two more items to my salad and it proved to be a great mistake. The extra pineapples were shockingly not fresh, that is, I paid for some canned low-quality pineapples. The extra chickpeas were equally a joke as they were deep-fried and I highly doubt if the cafe had deep-fried them itself, which only meant they got some ready-to-eat chickpeas from god knows where. Who would want canned pineapples and super unhealthy chickpeas for a salad?
How exactly can a cafe succeed when they just used all different kinds of junk ready-to-eat food? And don't forget this salad is tiny.
素食汉堡 - 另外还点了几乎每台都有的burger。卖相不差。如果薯角可多一两条会更好。伴随burger的是一小包茄酱，如果用小碟盛著便可弃用不环保的小包。薯角热呼呼的上台，淋了一点但都不错。Burger是挺大份的。中间夹著的有沙律菜、蕃茄、芝士及素汉堡扒。汉堡包是正常的，亦有稍微烘热。汉堡扒比较干，有点儿像吃腐皮卷。整体来说这汉堡还可接受，是这天最好的。
Vegetarian Burger - The other item we got was the burger, which every table got one. It looked pretty nice but I guess a bit more potato wedges would have been even better. Also came with the burger was a sachet of ketchup. Wouldn't it be more environmental friendly to use a small plate for ketchup instead of sachets? Maybe I am being too critical of Vegyo...
The potatoes wedges were hot when arrived, they were nice although a bit soggy. The burger was big and had some salad leaves, tomato, cheese and the vegetarian patties. The bun was normal and was slightly toasted. The vegetarian patties was dry and the texture was like tofu skin. Overall it's an okay burger and the best item of the day.
朱古力蛋糕 - 没记错的话它们有些甜点是自制的，不过在橱窗内看到的蛋糕都是由供应商买回来。这朱古力蛋糕没有太甜，但亦没有香浓的朱古力味，质素一般。以这样的价钱在同区有不少更好的选择。Chocolate Cake - I think Veygo offers some housemade desserts but most of the cakes on display are from suppliers. We picked the chocolate cake which was neither sweet nor chocolate-y. It's just so so. You definitely can get something better in the same area at the same price.
Iced Cappuccino - 后来点了一杯外带的涷cappuccino，终于不是甜的了！！这杯咖啡不错。Iced Cappuccino - A takeaway iced cappuccino and finally a non-sugary taste coffee!
试了上环及湾仔的店，都没有好印象。不明白为可flavoured coffee drink可以离谱地甜，甜得根本连咖啡味都喝不出来，本末倒置。另外的印象是这家cafe提供不同款式的brunch食品，明显是走西洋风，而且价钱也一定是。但是在沙律上露出了马脚。正常外国人开的餐厅又怎会用炸的chickpea、罐头的菠萝或没水准的芝士？通常在港式的西餐厅才会吃到这类沙律。但如果店家希望走洋化的路线，心是一定要用的。Neither the Sheung Wan nor the Wanchai branch impressed me at all. I still couldn't understand the abnormal high level of sweetness in the coffee in which coffee taste was hardly found. Besides, Veygo clearly is trying to position itself as an "Western" style cafe, which is also reflected in its price. Then what's wrong with the salad? A real "Western" style cafe would not use canned pineapple or flavourless cheese. Just up your game Veygo.
(后来也去了湾仔分店，可看那边的食评)
