• Kafa Cafe, especially the one in the lobby of 8 Wyndham Street Central, get Pinky to make it for you (she's only on until lunchtime)
• First Cup Coffee, 8 Prat Avenue TST
• Quando Cafe (very hard to find but worth the effort, Flat B, 4/F, Granville House, 41 C/D Granville Road, TST)

Good luck

I haven't tried the famous First Cup yet but I like to add Crema Coffee, further from First Cup, which I consider the best espresso/ristretto I ever had in Hong Kong. Here's the address

Crema Coffee
G36 Peninsula Center
67 Mody Road
Tsim Sha Tsui East
(Next to Regal Kowloon Hotel)

Tsim Sha Tsui MTR exit P2
Tel: 2369-0338

Ohhhh I second you on Eat Right and Kafa, esp Eat Right, I think it's one of the few places that does their lattes properly (well, Aussie style if you like). I really really miss my coffees in Melbourne (and never thought much of it until I left the country and realized what I'm missing out on). Think I'll check out the other two you mentioned below, though it's bit of a hike for me...across the harbour.

Cheers.

I was very disappointed at Eat Right last year. My girlfriend and I both thought both the food and coffee were atrocious and vowed never to go back! I had the same experience at Kafa. At both places, the coffee tasted like it had been brewed with beans that had been sitting around for a while. That's two places I'll never go back to for sure.

Segafredo's in Wellington Street serve great coffee

First Cup - Excellent place...they started out like 10 years ago with a tiny 2 seat store (more so a coffee bar at the time) on Lock Road and then progressed and progressed. Decent sized place serving quite a range of coffee for HK's standards. Brazil Santos Lattes there are a godsend.

Quando Cafe - if there was no water, no coffee beans, no milk, no murky substances of gunk, no acid rain left on this planet - I might consider having a drink there! The fact that when it rains you get soaked while sittin at Quando's doesn't add to the ambience.

Try a restaurant in SOHO called eat right. seriously delicious coffee. Tsun Wing Lane is the location
