I don't particularly like Starbucks either, especially the ones here, but what do I do if I don't get a coffee, I would die, and there's a Starbucks right in front of me? Haha. I miss "Noisette" at "Second Cup" in Toronto so much! Tim Horton's is not bad but I don't like to call it coffee. I actually like Japanese UCC coffee very much, especially the Suzuki (or something sounds like that).

There's a cafe near Star Street/ Queensway in Wanchai by the Pacific place office building. They serve Illy. Good coffee.

Just had coffee at eat right on the midlevels escalator soho (just opposite pure Gym)
Great coffee! made properly.
Good crema
Food not too bad for a health cafe.

Thanks Chrissy n Cinna..I've seen that health food cafe a number of times, but I've never been there. I might have to go check it out soon, especially considering I live right by it...

there was a place caled "My coffe" in TST on Ashely street a short walk down the street from Red ant, it was great the coffee was superb, and you could even get your own private cup as a regular.
But comming back from a visit back home for a month i found it closed.. it broke my heart :'(

And if you want to eat the tastiest Chocolate cake in HK, you will find a piece in a Mong kok cafe (forgott the name) its hidden away in a small alley close to the intersection of Tung Choi street, and Dundas street, its quiet hard to spot unless you know what to look for.
But well worth a visit if you are in the area. Coffee is decent but the chocolate cake makes up for any flavs.

Moulin Rouge on O'Brien Street in Wanchai does a wicked double-shot latte for HKD21.
Starbucks and Pac Coffee are crap- the only decent chain was San Fran Coffee and they folded after a few months- tough game to get into i guess.

i used to go to "my coffee" all the time and was sad when it's closed. good news is my coffee loving friend opened up an upstair cafe (kinda of a secret hangouts for friends) and their coffee is even better hehe.

I am a certified coffee junkie. Being from Melbourne in Australia I have high standards in coffee, we have great coffee in Melbourne.

After reading this thread a couple of days ago I went to Epoch today and tried the coffee. Hmm, not bad I guess....but if this is the best coffee in Hong Kong I am now seriously scared. I realise coffee isn't an Asian thing but surely in a city of 7+ million there must be a place that has GREAT coffee?? I gave the Illy coffee at Epoch 6.5/10. Maybe it was the barrista. I had a double shot, and with the latte it needed it. A single shot would have been ridiculously weak.

2 latte macchiatos and 2 bottles of water - HK$100.
