This new cafe in Hong Kong is where understated Japanese minimalism meets quality coffee craft in Tsim Sha Tsui. Meaning \u201cto live\u201d in Japanese, Kurasu started as a humble online shop before blossoming into a global specialty coffee destination. Now, it’s breathing new life into the busy TST streets as an oasis with top-notch brews. Sip smooth, fruity pour-overs or rich lattes showcasing Kurasu\u2019s dedication to the coffee experience.

Tucked away in the lush Quarryside community hub, Islet Coffee Lab\u2019s minimalist outdoor seating blends seamlessly into the surrounding greenery. Here, the smell of fresh coffee and the natural sunlight filtering through the trees make it easy to leave the chaos of the city behind. Islet keeps things simple for now, focusing on expertly crafted coffees like its smooth Brazilian single origin espresso. We’re obsessed with its flat white, with lovely milky sweetness balanced by a subtle almond note. Grab a camping chair and let the sunshine provide a healthy dose of vitamin D as you unwind with your morning brew. It\u2019s the ideal start before you dive into our local guide to Quarry Bay<\/a>!<\/p>\n
