Kactus Coffee (Sheung Wan)

This Korean-style cafe from the people behind Busan Night, Jeonpo Meat Shop, and Pecorino has been doing well in its original Yau Ma Tei branch and has recently expanded onto Hong Kong Island, taking over a two-storey shopfront on Queen’s Road West. The industrial vibes of the space are softened by intentional, retro decor such as sky-blue tiles outside the front, mismatched furniture pieces that look like they were plucked from vintage stores, and quirky but well-designed silverware. We loved their Kactus Coffee, which only comes iced and topped with a slightly salty hand-whipped cream.
