Tasteless vegan bubble waffles - Edit
The only reason why I had visited this small but rather cosy vegan restaurant was due to its iconic vegan bubble waffles. I was also delighted that they do sell vegan milk tea which is another favourite of mine. As such, I had ordered Vegan French Toast, Vegan Bubble Waffle (mix with half chocolate and half original), Oat Milk Tea Ice and Date Longan Tea Hot.
Read moreUnfortunately, this was met with disappointment as their vegan bubble waffles were tasteless and really bland. I do believe the egg version should taste much better, but I do not consume egg. Their French Toast was way too huge a serving for both of us, and we struggled to finish the food, and we ended up throwing a quarter of the toast instead. The Milk tea was decent at least. I was having a bad sore throat on that day, and this could explain the negative dining experience.
At the time of our visit at around 3:30pm, we were the only customers dining in the restaurant. This restaurant is not very huge too, but can house at least 15 plus people perhaps. The venue is at the hill slopes of MTR Sai Ying Pun which is not difficult to locate with a Google map on hand, but requires at least 10-15 minutes of walking from the train station.
All in all, I would not recommend this vegan restaurant as the food was rather dissatisfactory despite their warm and friendly service.
Pros: Disappointing vegan bubble waffles
Cons: Warm and cozy ambiance, Friendly service

Great menu, nice food - Edit
I’ll start off with the positives.
Read moreThis place has an amazing menu with loads of items to choose from. They do everything from French toast and sunny side up fried eggs, to chicken satay skewers and freshly made sandwiches. You could go here in any mood and they will probably have something that you’re craving. The coffee was amazing, the staff are lovely and it’s a really nice place to get away from the busyness of Hong Kong.
Unfortunately, there was nothing that really blew us away in terms of quality. It seemed to be more like comfort food than actually good quality food. It’s not a cheap place either and I feel for the amount you pay I’d expect better quality. We did go back for breakfast one morning and got there for shortly after they opened and were told it was going to be a ‘long wait’ for the French toast. We then got massively overcharged for two lots of hash browns and some baked beans (which was all we really had time to eat).

Really loved this place. Went here after a hike up lions head rock and we were starving! Had the tempeh sandwich, samosas and the mixed platter. As a dessert the tiramisu. Was so good.

amazing Hong Kong style food, wonderfully kind staff - Edit
Lots of delicious local foods like the iconic bubble waffles, milk tea, and noodle bowls. Most is very reasonably priced! The bubble waffles are a little expensive but so worth it to get to try an authentic Hong Kong style food!

Super good vegan food :) - Edit
Sooo many options here! It was the vegan bubble waffle that lured me in, but it was kinda pricey at almost $50. The meals were around $100 or more with a few cheaper options for lunch at $80ish.
Read moreMe n my partner shared the char Sui with vegan eggs and upgraded to get a matcha made with plant milk! Plus the tofu Buddha bowl with extra tempeh. Then a chocolate bubble waffle, I wish it had some sauce with it. A very modern place, and you can take the tram from central area to get there :)

great place for an afternoon tea - Edit
Was in Hong Kong and knew I wanted to check this place out. Already had lunch plans but stopped in to have tea. The toast was the closest thing I could find to a chachaanting and of course you can't go to Hong Kong and not try the egg waffles. They helpfully let me know right away that the juice wasn't fresh, after asking further she let me know it was out of the box but it was 100% juice. It was a great vegan place to visit to take a break from the bustling city.

Everything delicious! - Edit
Wow, there's so many things I love from this place. The udon, the vegan fried egg (tip: sprinkle some black salt on it and it tastes even better), the french toast and bubble waffles, the vegan nuggets, the BBQ pork rice, the rose chocolate... it's all delicious.

Great drinks and snacks! - Edit
We loved this place, I wish we had the time to visit more than once. Their drinks menu is varied, we tried the iced rose latte and a cream soda. Both were very refreshing and flavorful! I LOVED that they had vegan bubble waffles. It’s a HK classic that we didn’t have to miss out on. We enjoyed the matcha one, but they also have normal and chocolate. The fried beancurd was surprisingly excellent and a great snack. Their menu is so extensive, I wish we had the time to try other things! A bit pricey, but so worth it. Would definitely recommend.

Great ambiance, overpriced cake - Edit
Loved the interieur and atmosphere but not so much the food. We had a couple of dishes and found them ok, but nothing special. None of the deserts on the menu we wanted where available. We had a piece of cake that didnt taste that good and was totally overpriced - cost 80 HK-Dollar.
Read more5 stars for the ambiance, 3 for the food and 2 for the desert...

French toast was awesome - Edit
French toast and the assorted platter of lunar new year cakes tasted great. Staff were friendly and atmosphere was nice. We also tried flat white with oat milk, caramel latte with oat milk and matcha bubble waffle which were nice. They also sell vegan snacks, instant noodles, seasonings and clocks.

The best matcha - Edit
We stopped to try their desserts, which were ok but not the best (both the crepe cake and the bubble waffle were a bit too dry and “bready” for my preference). The service was very friendly though and their soy matcha was the best I’ve ever tried in HK so will be back for that for sure. We’ll also probably come back to try their lunch food too.
