Our Favourite Cafes & Coffee Shops In Causeway Bay

Looking for an Instagrammable cafe or a premium coffee shop in Causeway Bay? Discover our favourite hidden gems and beloved chains in CWB…

As one of the busiest districts in Hong Kong, Causeway Bay is not for the faint of heart. Even on a weekday, you’ll find crowds aplenty getting in their shopping fix, and don’t get us started on that maze of an MTR station! While the fab range of shops and entertainment options make the area a must-visit, Causeway Bay should not be tackled without a good dose of caffeine — and we know just the place to get it. If it’s too early for happy hour and you’ve already had lunch, here are the best coffee shops in Causeway Bay, from familiar city-wide chains to independent artisan cafes.

Nicknamed the submarine, Project C radiates aesthetic appeal, and the coffee is taken equally seriously — each drink even comes with a cheat sheet of tasting notes so you can see exactly where your brew has originated from!

Vivienne Westwood Cafe

With the coffee here starting at a whopping $60, Vivienne Westwood Cafe is definitely not where you want to swing by if you’re balling on a budget. But if you fancy an afternoon tea set, all-day breakfast or a specialty drink (we love the Chocolate Teddy Rose Latte, though it will set you back $98!), this cafe has it all. The gorgeous interiors also make it a lovely daytime date setting, especially with the girls!

NOC Coffee Co.

Best known for its design-focused locations and curated brews (made from house-roasted beans no less), NOC is a beloved staple of the Hong Kong coffee scene. The Causeway Bay outlet may not be as large as other branches, but it’s definitely still worth a visit. Here, floor-to-ceiling windows give way to an achingly chic minimalist interior — the perfect backdrop for a Flat White ($35) and pastry pairing. We’re also partial to the decaf NOC Fizz ($55), a refreshing blend of lemon, grapefruit and lemongrass juice topped with tonic water.

Sassy Tip: Bring your own cup to enjoy 10% off your takeaway coffee!
