I'm surprised to see reviews praising the coffee here. I tried both the cappuccino and the latte and they are unequivocally bad.

My rating is based on the following:

Coffee: 1.5 stars
Environment: 3 stars

The cappuccino had no foam what so ever and even with the milk the bitterness of the coffee really cut through. The coffee is strong so if you need a pick me up this would do. Using Starbucks as a baseline for average. This coffee is below that standard.

The latte wasn't much better. The coffee was really bitter and you don't get any silky smoothness from the milk. Had a hard time finishing my drink. I drink black espresso all the time so it is not because I'm not used to drinking stronger coffee that my opinion is this way.

The decoration of the place is cool, but the place is really cramped. They also only have high chairs with small tables. Sitting there for more than a few minutes was not enjoyable. There are so many better coffee choices in Wan Chai.
