Best Coffee Shops

Any recommendations for best coffee/tea/drink shops in HK?
Preferably also reading-friendly and wifi/laptop-friendly.
Preferably not your average Starbucks or Pacific Coffee.

Zambra at the corner of Stewart and Jaffe in Wanchai is a pretty decent place.  Best to avoid it lunch if you want to read though; they serve food, so it'll be pretty busy then.

Chicks.  Which one has the cutest chicks?  We'll pass on the school girls.  Although I'm certain that PhantomX really meant "College Coeds".

Any coffee spots that are also pick up spots?




I didn't do it.  Really I didn't.

More often than not it will be the Starbucks that have the cutest chicks and girls.  As a guy sometimes I have to make the sacrifice and drink bad coffee just to have something to look at.

I wanna say that I've probably spotted some high school senior chicks in those afterschool hours ~4pm around causewaybay and central -- so i guess starbucks and pacific coffees in those areas could be potential pick up points haha.

Any Starbucks in particular?  The time or two that I've cruised them in Wan Chai it was slim pickin's and the doughnuts were all gone too.

You have to go to the ones in Causeway Bay, the one across from Lee Theatre is one, the one that is between Sogo and JP Theatre is another.  It is best to go on weekends or evenings.   I don't know about the doughnuts, but these places do open later than the ones in Wanchai.   

There is another one in Causeway Bay Plaza 1, but it is small and does not have many gals.   

Another trendy coffee shop that the girls like are those Anna B coffee shops.  The one in IFC has the classy gals, the one in World Trade Centre has some nice normal girls and ladies.  

I think the trendy, young crowd prefer Starbucks over Pacific Coffee and Habitu.  

In those other coffee shops with better coffee, the only place you will see nice gals are the ones on your laptop screen as you surf the net on the shops' free wifi.

Sorry man didn't mean to diverge off topic.

A friend recommended Cafe Corridor to me as one of the best coffees in town. It is located opposite the taxi stand of Times Squares in Causewaybay, like between the McDonalds and the Nokia shop -- You'll see a white little sign "Cafe Corridor".
The place is literally accessed through the ground floor corridor/at the end of the hall of one of the old buildings.
I tried the Latte Macchiato ($28), really liked it.
However, the place was very small and didn't have very comfortable seating, so despite good coffee I don't see it as a nice place to sit down and hang out/read.  No sofas!  Perhaps I will just order to go next time when I happen to pass by and need my coffee fix
