瑞記咖啡

瑞記咖啡, a cha chaan teng in Sheung Wan, Central and Western, is at 香港島上環皇后大道中2/F. Before heading over it is worth checking the hours, phone number and Google rating below, so the trip is not wasted. The address puts it on an upper floor of a building (an "upstairs shop", very common in Hong Kong), so note the floor and unit number; lifts can be slow at busy times, and some older buildings only have stairs.

Cha chaan teng are part of everyday eating in Hong Kong: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner are mostly served as set meals that include a drink, with a small extra charge for a cold one. At busy times you will often share a table, food arrives fast and tables turn over quickly; many also do takeaway, sometimes with a small charge for the box. Few charge the 10% service charge, Octopus is widely accepted and some older shops are still cash only. You can ask for no ice, less sugar or a hot drink instead when ordering; the set meals of the day usually change daily.

Google lists the opening hours as Mon–Fri 08:00–16:00, Sat–Sun closed. That makes 5 working days a week. Arrangements may differ on public holidays, over Lunar New Year and when a typhoon signal No. 8 or above or a black rainstorm warning is in force, so call before making a special trip. You can call 2850 8643; a phone call is the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or how to get there.

At 4.0 out of 5 on Google (846 reviews), it sits mid-table; the written reviews say more about service, prices and waiting times than the number does.

Sheung Wan is part of the Central and Western District on Hong Kong Island. The island is steep, with many streets climbing the hillside; the Central–Mid-Levels escalator links Central with the Mid-Levels and the Peak Tram runs up to The Peak. Offices, malls and old neighbourhood shops sit side by side, restaurants are packed at the office lunch hour (roughly 13:00–14:00), and with parking scarce the MTR, tram or bus is usually easier than driving.
