Central is part of the Central and Western District on Hong Kong Island. The north shore of Hong Kong Island is one of the densest business areas in the city: the MTR Island Line runs from Kennedy Town to Chai Wan, the trams ("ding dings") between Kennedy Town and Shau Kei Wan, and many businesses trade from upper floors of office blocks and older tenement buildings. The south side is known for beaches, trails and fishing harbours such as Repulse Bay, Stanley and the Aberdeen typhoon shelter, which get busy at weekends and on public holidays. Central is Hong Kong's financial and business heart; the Central–Mid-Levels escalator links the streets up the hill, Lan Kwai Fong and SoHo come alive at night, and the Central piers serve the Outlying Islands.

Very disappointing experience. We ordered but our food never arrived. We had to remind the staff a second time, only then did they realize they had forgotten our order completely. The restaurant was also extremely hot because the air conditioner was not turned on. Poor service, will not be coming back.

Coffee is beautifully crafted and is probably some of the best you can get in town. However, very poor choice of music. Music genre ranges around local band and rock music. The cymbal rides and the bass and kick drum’s attack are super disturbing for making a nice conversation. A good café should consider music, temperature, humidity, and lighting as a whole experience than just the drinks. The owner should seriously consider building a playlist (that can rotate) that is suitable for enjoying coffee, reading and light conversation than letting staffs pick whatever they want to listen.

I’ve visited this coffee shop twice, and both times I’ve come away impressed. The quality of the coffee is consistently excellent, and the atmosphere makes it a great spot to relax or get some work done. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to.

Really great coffee shop in Central. The arty vibe is tastefully done and the staff are friendly. The coffee is pleasantly strong but still with a creaminess that leaves little bitterness afterwards. Very impressed and highly recommend!
