SIP
Teakha
Billing itself as a “lifestyle concept tea cafe”, Teakha is indeed one tea house unlike others. Quaint charm notwithstanding, this neighborhood joint gets quite crowded on the weekends, so opt for a slower weekday afternoon, or get your tea to go!

18 Tai Ping Shan Road

Po’s Atelier
Perched atop the hill at Tai Ping Shan, this bakery features goods that appeal to a Western palate with Eastern sensibilities.

70 Po Hing Fong

Shelter Lounge
Nestled behind mainstream Hollywood Road, you’ll be glad you have this gem tucked away in your mental dossier, especially when it comes to having brunch options handy.

5-13 New Street

Café Loisl
Equal parts intimate as it is welcoming, Cafe Loisl is the place to go with a book or Sunday’s newspaper. Not too far out of the way, this Austrian dessert shop offers austerity and free wifi to boot.

8 Tai On Terrace

Common Ground
Like other small coffee shops in the ‘hood, space is limited to a communal table. But unlike the others, the ambiance is conducive to the crowd. Chalk it up to the stoops outside, making for easy chilling or just passing by to say hi.
