Dating all the way back to the 18th century, cafes were “coffeehouses” where people would meet to debate and do business. In today’s Insta-age? People will literally flock to any cafe if they think it’ll make a good picture. Luckily, Hong Kong actually takes its coffee quite seriously, which is why we’re home to so many boutique cafés each of which specialise in certain coffee beans or cold brews.
