Where To Eat & Drink:

NOC Coffee Co.

We love NOC Coffee Co. for its cool and sleek design, friendly service and top-notch coffee. With seven locations across the city, head to its Causeway Bay store and enjoy fresh house-roasted coffee and a selection of baked goods; the perfect pick-me-up after a long day navigating the crowded streets! Along with expertly-made lattes, espressos, matcha and more, for something different, try out NOC’s cold brew coffee – which is brewed for 20 hours to give an extra smooth taste and served over a ball of ice, or opt for the Fizzpresso – a refreshing and unique blend of espresso, tonic water and passion fruit.

Little Bao

Another favourite of ours in the city, after the recent closure of Little Bao’s SoHo branch, head to Causeway Bay to get a taste of these delicious buns. The eclectic menu serves a range of sharing plates (hello truffle fries!), along with its signature baos. We love the signature pork belly bao and the fish tempura bao, but veggies need to try the sloppy chan bao. Don’t leave without a taste of one of the sweet ice-cream baos.

Sassy Tip: The large outdoor area is pet-friendly, so be sure to bring your furry friends along.
