Our Favourite Breakfast Spots All Across Hong Kong

Rise and shine, it’s breakfast time! Whether you’re in the mood for an all-day breakfast on Hong Kong Island, a buttery croissant in Kowloon or a filling full English brekkie, we’ve found the very best options across Hong Kong.

We all know that Hong Kong does brunch in a big way, so sometimes breakfast in our city can get a little overshadowed by its boozy older sister. But beyond the indulgent free-flow offerings, there are many great casual breakfast options across town. If you’re looking for a quick coffee and croissant to-go, a greasy full English breakfast or a virtuous açai bowl, keep reading for your guide to the best breakfast spots all across Hong Kong…

The Best Breakfast Spots On Hong Kong Island

AMO.AGO

Sample the tastes of Italia at AMO.AGO with tartines inspired by different destinations from Amalfi Coast to Cinque Terra and Capri. The pastries are simply divine but before you dive in, fill in with some protein like the Eggcocotte (which is also a veggie-friendly option!) or a hearty granola bowl with Greek yoghurt. AMO.AGO also serves excellent cocktails for after-work tipples (unless you want it for breakfast — no judgement here!).

Sassy recommends: Croque monsieur croissant, pistachio latte, ice mocha & chocolate chip cookies (our Editorial team can’t get enough of these)
Open from: 8am to 11pm, daily

AMO.AGO, G/F, 11 Shelley Street, Central, Hong Kong, www.amoago.com.hk

Bing Kee Cha Dong

Make like the locals and start your day with a comforting bowl of noodle soup for breakfast. This neighbourhood dai pai dong is famous for its flavoursome pork noodle soup, with juicy, peppery pork, greens and a warming broth.

Open from: 7am to 3pm, Tuesday to Sunday

Bing Kee Cha Dong, 5 Shepherd Street, Tai Hang, Hong Kong, Instagram: @bing_kee

Servo

You might not think to try this Aussie-inspired cafe wine bar for breakfast, but trust us when we say it’s worth it! Servo’s truffle cheese toastie (add a side salad if it will make you feel better!) is the perfect way to start the day, and you can’t go wrong with a lamington ($38) to go!

Open from: 7:30am, weekdays; 9:30am, Saturday and public holidays

Servo, G/F, Kowloon Dairy Building, 17-19 On Lan Street, Central, Hong Kong, Instagram: @servohongkong

Blend & Grind

With three locations to its name (the Sun Street outpost is our fave!), this speciality coffee spot is known for its affordable and healthy breakfast bites. Head here for everything from Avo-Open Faced Sandwiches, Bagels, Toasties and Acai Bowls (a favourite of our Marketing Coordinator).

Jimmy’s Kitchen

Jimmy’s was already a perfect little oasis in the heart of bustling Central if you were in need of a great value lunch or dinner, but now with its revamped weekday breakfast menu expanded to include French toast and more savoury sandwiches and egg dishes, it’s even better! The new chocolate French toast with nutella cream is sinfully delicious, and you can expect the eggs in your benedict to always be cooked to perfection.

Sassy recommends: Pancakes (banana is a classic!) & cornbread (worth the add-on according to our Managing Editor)
Open from: 8am, weekdays (breakfast served until 10am)

Jimmy’s Kitchen, M/F, Pedder Building, 12 Pedder Street, Central, Hong Kong, Instagram: @jimmyskitchenhk

Pane e Latte

Pastries, gelato and a trip to the beach? What a way to start your day! Pane e Latte, imbues the quaint seaside town of Stanley with a touch of “la dolce vita” in the form of a traditional Italian panificio. The all-day cafe stocks freshly baked goodies to take away, and also operates a dine-in experience where guests can indulge in a range of sweet and savoury plates from breakfast to aperitivo and dinner.

Sassy Tip: Its giant pastries (that are the size of two human heads!) are more worth the order for the comical snaps you’ll get out of it than the actual taste.
Open from: 8am to 10pm, daily

Pane e Latte, 25 Stanley Market Road, Stanley, Hong Kong, 2337 7221, www.paneelatte.hk

Winstons Coffee

When our team was working out of Kennedy Town, best believe Winstons Coffee was the breakfast spot for a few of us! Aside from quality coffee, grab a blueberry muffin, cheese toastie or chicken wrap to chow down at your desk in the office!

Open from: 7am to 7pm (Tai Hang), 7am to 7pm on Sundays and Mondays, 7am to 10pm Tuesdays to Saturdays (Kennedy Town and Sai Ying Pun)

R&R Bagels

A breakfast favourite of ours will always be the Maple Bacon & Egg at R&R Bagels – a mouth-watering mix of sweet smoky bacon (glazed with Noble Tonic No. 01 maple syrup), a runny egg and cream cheese.

Open from: 7:30am, daily

Sammi #000000

If you’re a matcha-lover (like most of Hong Kong, it seems) this is where you’re going to want to be for breakfast! The coffee makes for a great accompaniment to your morning meal, but more than anything, we’re here for the vibey black interiors.

Open from: 8:30am to 8:30pm, daily

Sammi #000000, 115 Tsuen Wan Market Street, Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong, Instagram: @sammicoffeehk

Fineprint

For the self-professed avocado toast and coffee enthusiast, Fineprint is an absolute dream come true with not one, not two, but three kinds of avo toast (the half and half avo/tomato ricotta might be the best) loved by our Managing Director and Managing Editor! This chic little breakfast nook is reminiscent of Sydney coffee shops, but seamlessly fits into Hong Kong’s breakfast scene as well. The dimly lit interiors are fairly cosy, but we love sitting outside and people-watching with a delicious (and super well priced) iced coffee and cookie.

Sassy recommends: Ricotta toast, lovebird coffee & coconut cold brew
Open from: 6am, daily (all locations)

Elephant Grounds

Another Team Sassy favourite with its convenient locations, free wifi and plenty of charging outlets, Elephant Grounds stands as a worthy alternative to any co-working space – and it has better coffee. The handmade pastries and Asian-inspired breakfast dishes are a great motivator to get moving through your to-do list.

Sassy recommends: Valrhona mocha with oat milk (great option for lactose-intolerants with a mild sweet-tooth), All Day Breakfast & any Donburi
Open from: Opening hours vary between locations; head here for more info.

APT Coffee

Standing for “A Personal Tailor”, APT Coffee is great for a breakfast catch-up. The menu here allows you to customise your order, with the seemingly simple concept of toast and coffee taken to new heights! Guests can choose their bread type and toppings – with options including all types of eggs, smoked salmon, mushrooms, avocado and more.

Open from: 7:30am, weekdays, 8:30am, weekends (Tsim Sha Tsui); 8am, daily (Wan Chai & Times Square)

APT Coffee, various locations across Hong Kong, 3619 4393, www.instagram.com/apt.coffee

NINETYs

It’s hard to sleep on NINETY’s once you’ve passed by and caught a whiff of the expertly brewed coffee. If you’re peckish, treat yourself to luxe twists on classic breakfast dishes like Crab Benedict or ‘Nduja On Toast. This is another pick that commands queues, so best to go early if you can.

Open from: Opening hours vary between locations; head here for more info.

Bakehouse

Helmed by Chef Grégoire Michaud, this bakery is far from run-of-the-mill, with all of its baked goods made fresh onsite every day. Whilst its Sourdough loaves are some of the best in the city, we love trying out its creative twists on the classics, including the Sourdough Egg Tarts and Almond Danish. Just be sure to get there early to beat the inevitable queues – yes, even for takeaway!

Open from: 8am, daily

NOC Coffee Co.

Be it the almond croissant or all day breakfast with all the classics, NOC Coffee Co. is a firm favourite. While we do find paying $138 for a smoked salmon toast on the pricier side, this once-in-a-while breakfast treat never skimps on quality. The minimalist ambiance, pet-friendly outdoor seating and quality coffee all adds to the experience.

Open from: Opening hours vary between locations; head here for more info.

Cupping Room

We’ve raved about the Avocado On Toast here on many occasions, but you know it’s good if we keep going back! The coffee is also good at Cupping Room – which is the obvious draw so early in the morning, but its selection of egg dishes doesn’t go amiss either.

Open from: Opening hours vary between locations; head here for more info.
