Coco Espresso701

Hong Kong is experiencing a trend where more and more coffee shops are moving to industrial estates for bigger space. Coco Espresso is one of them, the concept store here features a huge communal table in the middle of the shop, they serve all day breakfast and of course great coffee. Situated in the heart of Kwai Hing industrial estates, you’ll be surprised to find haunted looking old factory floors repurposed with new small businesses. A good juxtaposition of old Hong Kong and new life in Hong Kong.

A friend and I decided to track down the location of this café after she saw some pictures of it on an Instagram foodie feed. We managed to find it and took a look at the menu. So far so good. Then we tried to order. Well…
This place has a great interior and it is located in a cool industrial area. It gets points for being open on a Sunday too. But it loses points for this: on a Sunday afternoon, it was completely sold out (or at least that’s what they said) of all food — including plain bagels and simple toast. That is, except for one tiny cake, which my friend ordered and consumed alone because I’m lactose intolerant. Now, I *swear* they still had bagels and bread in their industrial-​sized fridges at the back below the coffee machines. They just didn’t feel like making me plain toast. Too busy standing behind the counter texting.
Still, my long black was delicious, and it was a nice place to sit for a little while. I would be interested in coming back to try their English breakfast, which sounded good and looks like a deal at $ 85, when I’m used to Island side prices.
