There seems to be many small cafes popping up near the Sheung Wan area lately, as I’m a coffeeholic and have very-sweet teeth (I can have desserts as my breakfast, lunch and dinner!), I want to try as much of these small cafes as I can The first time I went to Corner Kitchen Café with my friend was on a Saturday morning, it was before their Christmas closing and the shop was quite empty as it’s just opened.

The first time I went to Corner Kitchen Café with my friend was on a Saturday morning, it was before their Christmas closing and the shop was quite empty as it’s just opened. The thing in the cafe that immediately caught my attention was the cake display window next to the cashier, with so many different cakes inside! They all looks so attractive I wanna try them all!
Finally I made up my mind to go for a Pumpkin Cheese Cake ($60) and a Chocolate Cream Pie ($60), also a hot large Caramel Latte ($48) (actually I’ve wanted an iced one as the café was quite hot at the time but my friend placed a wrong order >_<). Nevertheless the Caramel Latte was really nice, with good balance of sweetness, caramel favour and not excessive milk (that I dislike as I’d normally opt for a piccolo latte instead of a regular latte). I’d think it’s one of the best Caramel Latte I have ever had, much better than the ones you can get in those chain store cafes.

For my friend’s Omelette, she simply loved it and she said the taste was nice. I’ve tried a mouth of it, it was filled with bacon, cheese, mushrooms, onion and spring onion. The egg was cooked nicely but as I didn’t quite enjoy the favour of the spring onions in the omelette, I didn’t like it as much as my friend did. The fries were the thick type as you can see from the photo, they were piping hot when arrived, I think everybody would agree that piping hot and thick crispy fries are the best!

The second cake of the day was the Chocolate Cream Pie, there was actually no cake elements in it (I misunderstood it as a Chocolate Cream Cake when I checked with the staff there, so I was expecting some cake layers inside). The texture of it was like very dense dark chocolate pudding/cream on a salted chocolate buttery crust. It was with heavy dark chocolate favour without being too sweet nor too plainly chocolate taste (I think they are using high quality chocolate for their cakes with well balance of bitterness, sourness and sweetness of the chocolate), it taste like the chocolate cream layers of the Starbucks Chocolate Marquise but the chocolate cream of this pie was smoother and moister. I liked it but my friend said it was too heavy and she can just finished 1/4 of it and I finished the rest of the cake, happy!The experience here was so good we arranged another visit immediately on Christmas Eve as it was a dayoff for me, but unfortunately we found that it was closed till January when arrived >_<
The third visit was after the New Year on the Saturday it was reopened after its long holiday! We arrived at lunch hour only to find that it was full >_< As I was so hungry we changed to have lunch at another café nearby… then came back for afternoon tea!
This time we ordered the famous Salted Caramel Cake ($55) and a Banana Cake ($55), also a hot large Caramel Latte with skim milk ($50) (Oh just found out that the price has gone up after their holiday when typing this review, it was $48 beforehand! I’m sure of it coz I’m looking at the receipts when writing the review…) and an Iced Lemon Tea ($35).
The Caramel Latte was not as good as last time I had it, not sure because this time it was made by another barista (last time was a handsome guy with blonde hair and this time a barista with dark hair) or because this time I had it with skim milk? It was barely acceptable with not enough caramel favour and the coffee taste a bit burnt (over-extracted the shot(s)??) The lemon tea was okay according to my friend.
For the Salted Caramel Cake, we were having high expectation to it coz ppl said it was good in all food reviews. And it was good too! A first bit to the salted caramel cream I have a feeling that the taste was so familiar to me, what was it?? Then I found that it taste exact like the Almond Roca candy (樂家杏仁糖) that we used to eat especially during Chinese New Year! I asked my friend and it immediately came to her sense too! The cake was the sponge type of cake with only the tiniest airholes and was moist like a Taiwan honey cake, it taste good!
After tucking in the Salted Caramel Cake, we had the Banana Cake. It actually taste like a Carrot Cake with the carrot replaced by banana and also banana puree in between the two layers of cake. As I like the taste of both carrot cake and banana, I like it too! But as we only had it after the Salted Caramel Cake and the taste of the Salted Caramel Cake was too special we both found the Banana Cake a bit plain… we should have eaten the Banana Cake first and then the Salted Caramel Cake for a better tasting of the Banana Cake >_<Anyway I found the sweet items in this café really enjoyable and I want to come back to try more!!
