The feeling that Sham Shui Po has always given people is full of old Hong Kong sentiment, with dilapidated buildings and unique old shops telling the local history. However, in recent months, the style of Sham Shui Po has changed, especially in the areas of Tai Nan Street, Ki Lung Street, and Wong Chuk Street. Among the traditional fabric shops and leather goods stores, more and more coffee shops have opened, adding a touch of artistic atmosphere to the area. Some say that it has become like “Brooklyn” in New York, “Shoreditch” in London, or “Chifeng Street” in Taipei, becoming a new and distinctive arts and cultural community in Hong Kong.
One coffee shop after another has opened in Sham Shui Po, bringing joy to coffee lovers who can now set aside their busy daily work on weekends to enjoy a cup of coffee. Life’s simple pleasures! Here are 5 selected coffee shops in the area for everyone to indulge in the rich aroma of coffee!

The storefront of this boutique coffee shop follows a light industrial style, while the interior decoration is an exquisite wooden style, blending nostalgia with freshness.

Café Sausalito
The owner named it after the American town of “Sausalito” in hopes of bringing a cozy and relaxed local atmosphere to customers. This café on Da Nan Street has been standing for 6 years and recently underwent a renovation, transforming from its previous American style to a deep gray industrial look. The walls intentionally retain a weathered appearance, adding to the original feel. Its coffee and food have always been highly praised, especially the explosive beef bagel, which is a favorite of many! Not only that, the store often has live music performances, allowing you to enjoy coffee in a relaxed atmosphere, feeling as if you are abroad and chilling out!

Coffee of the Day
全白色調配上水泥地面的室內設計極具韓風，相當簡約文青。店內目前只有售賣飲品，暫無輕食提供，而除了香醇幼滑的咖啡之外，也有其他類型的飲品如消暑清涼的 lemonade 和西柚梳打。最特別的是，店舖奉上飲品時，令附上一張寫有「心靈雞湯」字條，為大家送上一份窩心。
地址：深水埗大南街 172 – 174 號地下 B 號舖
營業時間：星期一至日 11:00 – 19:00
Colour Brown x PHVLO HATCH
Both are composite spaces, created by Colour Brown and local fashion brand PHVLO HATCH. The ground floor is a café, while the two upper floors are fashion stores. The green frame at the entrance surrounding the iron gate design is very retro, making it eye-catching on the streets of Sham Shui Po. The green spiral staircase inside the store is another popular photo spot. The most recommended item in the store is the “Honey Ginger Latte,” paired with various light snacks, you can enjoy a delicious and satisfying afternoon tea!
