I don't say this lightly but this is the best coffee in HK. Be warned however that I am not the only person to know this and as such there will be a slight wait to get your hands on it. If you are wanting to have breakfast there than you may need to wait even longer but the smashed avo with eggs is worth the wait!

Sightseeing
Man Mo Temple
Hollywood RoadThe Peak: Most tourists will go to the Peak to view HK's Victoria Harbour in all it's splendor. On a clear day, it's stunning.
For a better (local) view head along Lugard Rd (near the stairs) once you're on the peak and keep following it a long until you come across the first and then second view points (20 mins walk). It's worth it believe me! Best part is, it will be you and the locals. Most tourists give up halfway.
