Russell Coffee & Roastery

The atmosphere is great! It feels like an oasis in the busy city. The entrance is a little hidden, but you can figure it out eventually. The salmon salad is so-so. There’s quite a lot of lettuce underneath the salmon. If you’re crazy about lettuce, then it’s definitely your cup of tea. Most cafés use salad vegetables in their salads, but this one is different. Maybe the rent is terribly high in CWB—because the serving is very lettuce-heavy. I requested a cooked egg, and they made it that way for me. Even a Hong Kong-style café is better at cooked eggs than this coffee shop. I ordered a Vienna coffee, and it disappointed me. The cream in a traditional Vienna coffee is usually thick and sits on top of the cup, but what I got here was totally different. I haven’t seen this style in Vienna.

Quiet little cafe restaurant. I had half and half toast that consisted of truffle mushrooms on one and egg, bacon and cheese on the other. They were pretty good but a little on the oily side. Service wasn’t great but not bad either.

I’ve been a fan of Russell’s coffee and bakery for years, and sadly I feel very snubbed for my loyalty today. They gave paper thin toasts 1/4 of the normal thickness, because of how thin it is, it’s completely falling apart with jam soaked through. The ricotta, which always used to come perfectly portioned with the amount of bread, doesn’t even cover a single piece of toast, which is already comically thin and small. It’s okay to tell a customer you’ve ran out of items for sale, it’s not okay to make us wait over half an hour and pay full price for a breakfast that’s so disappointingly unfilling for what we’ve prepared to be an active day ahead. Very disappointed.

If you need somewhere peaceful and quiet to stretch your legs while you're in Causeway Bay, drop into Russell Coffee & Roastery. Taking over the previous location of Cafe Corridor, a popular hidden cafe, Russell Coffee & Roastery is continuation of its predecessor and churns out quality coffee and teas from their quaint venue. Here, you can also enjoy a range of bites that span from sweet and savoury pancakes, yoghurt bowls, all-day breakfast plates, to their regularly-changing desserts. The space is small but there’s around 8-10 tables. The staff wasn’t very friendly, busy talking among themselves despite me standing there waiting to place my order. The coffee was good ($42) and the hot chocolate ($45) not too sweet. We did not try the food though.
