Just less than 10 minutes walk from Times Square, one of the landmark of Hong Kong , via the local wet market, you will find the coffee shop around the corner of Sharp Street West. As one of the Aussie-inspired cafes, the owners are very enthusiastic about coffee and they always introduce special drinks during different seasons. Did I forget to mention that barista Noddy there can do very pretty latte art too?

Tucked away on the second floor of the Ferry pier (just outside the gate for ferry departure gate from Tsim Sha Tsui to Central), you can find the very first coffee shop of Arabica % in Hong Kong. It is less than 5 minutes walk from the very crowded Ocean Terminal shopping mall but this spot is relatively quiet and cool for just a coffee! Not much seats inside this branch, but you can enjoy your takeaway coffee along the high stools outside the shop or even on the ferry across the Victoria Harbour (which is very beautiful). I am sure this is going to be a very unique way of enjoying your latte.
