La Station - Coffee Stop Review

Coffee is bitter, but it has its own style. It is funny to borrow a barista and taste good pastry.

We made a stop at La Station a couple weeks back and enjoyed our morning coffee and light bites to eat. This is a very good little coffee shop just off Queen's Road East in Wan Chai. Opening hours are 8am to 6.30pm daily.

On this occasion we enjoyed the flat white coffee, almond croissant and croque monsieur. Espresso still tastes too citrusy for my liking. However, the bean is perfect for milk coffee drinks, giving them strong and nice flavour. The foods were very good as expected, a nice option for those seeking something light and familiar first thing in the morning.

There is a handful of seating available at La Station. Alternatively, just take your order to-go like many of the locals who frequent this place. Modelled after the inside of an underground station in Paris, this is a neat place to try if you are staying in a Wan Chai area hotel and looking for a coffee place during your visit to HK.

Great cafe in Wan Chai to escape the craziness! It's small, but cosy. Service is good and the coffee is even better. Limited with outlets, but the wifi is solid.

My new local favorite. Small place. Small cups - and that is a quality sign in my book. Coffee is not a dessert Good bites to eat. Friendly staff.

I ordered ice flat white and croissant, but both were delicious :)
I've been to some of the famous cafes for coffee, but I personally remember it. The staff is friendly and the interior is unique, so I felt different from other cafes. Leave a review before coming back soon: D

Great, friendly place. Some of the best service you'll find in a coffee shop in Hong Kong.

I have been here a couple of times and on both visits, the staff were courteous and friendly. The coffee was also delicious and well prepared. There isn t a ton of seating so I wouldn t recommend this place if you re planning a marathon study session. This is truly a place where you should go and enjoy coffee with a friend. You can sit overlooking the street and it s a perfect place for people watching. They do great sweets but there s also the Eric Kayser bakery just up the street.

Delicious pastries and coffee. Friendly staffs.
Great vibes.

Quiet coffee shop in the middle of wan chain. Stopped here twice for a break of the hustle down the street

Great coffee...love the picollo...you can enjoy a nice fresh croissant...great service...

Great place. Good coffee. Friendly service. An ideal place to retreat from the busy job.

Like the espresso here and the flat white is pretty good too. Newspapers available to read. Definitely one to come back to.

One of my favorite coffee shops in town. Small little shop. Staff there are always very friendly. Their coffee is consistently much better than any of the other chains i.e. Starbucks and PCC. Coffee is perfectly roasted and not over done like S. A little nutty without the strong acid like many places out there. Conveniently located in Wan Chai. Lovely place!

My favourite spot for a coffee drink and nice snack. Staff are great !

The Salmon Egg Croissant and coffee are pure delight. Great to escape the busy HK streets for a moment

Great Service. Delicious salad, pastries and coffee. Kudos for the warm hospitality.

Great coffee. Amazing chocolate croissant. Fresh squeezed orange juice. Great service!

Very good coffee and bread, worth to try and never forget the tasty food.

Shop carefully, but it feels good! The decoration is good, the service is good!
The coffee is good, the flat white is so smooth, but it is too thick. If the cowpea is thicker, it will be fine.

Excellent coffee, lovely staff and nice place to sit. Food is so so but no thats major problem..just quick snack stuff so all good...will be back

Welcome relief for insufferable Australian coffee snobs.

Good coffee, but they tend to forget orders. I visited this place 3 times and 2 out of 3 they totally forgot my order and made me wait forever.

Really friendly and helpful staff that are passionate about there craft. Both food and drinks are excellent

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.

Great - quiet little place with friendly staff and excellent coffee.

Great place for outstanding coffees and food. Love the atmosphere as well!

Summary: Okay coffee, ham and cheese croissant wasn't good. Good for grabbing a quick cuppa, not suitable for working on laptop as only bar stools available, no proper seats.

Great local cafe. Excellent coffee with warm and friendly staff.

Quite a chill place to relax and wait for others in wan chai. Various coffee options available, both in cold and hot. The staff was helpful too.
Semi open area is also available.
Close to MTR station.

Nice atmosphere to sit for a good coffee. No line on a Sunday, which is almost unheard of in central HK...

Decent coffee and baked goods, wifi is serviceable. Nice friendly barista and counter staff.

I will miss Hongkong because of this piccolo latte coffee

Quiet little cafe for some coffee. Food is so so. Bagel was not toasted properly. Care mocha was quite pleasant.

Great friendly service only surpassed by the quality of their coffee. Well recommended.

A perfect place to recharge. Cosy and quite independent shop which takes its coffee and food seriously. The sandwiches and pastries are always fresh and homemade. The staff are always helpful and friendly. There is a local crowd who come here, expats and Chinese, it's just for people in the know.

Busy little cafe at lunch time, but staff are always friendly, prices reasonable and quality is great!

Recently, I have been stalking the Furong District Government. All of them have to go to the wedding garden. When they are in the wedding garden, they don t go to the coffee and sit down and chat.
Her favorite little bear menu, a natural and classical visual environment ~ is a very relaxed coffee shop.

Great coffee, have the tuna croissant, it s really delicious

Nice chill coffeeshop, small space and great coffee

Fantastic strong coffee and flaky croissants. This is the place to break your fast in the morning to hold yourself over for the dim sum you know you ll be craving later. They have free WiFi with the password posted next to the register. The decor of the shop is unique and there is plenty of seating, which is a plus. They cleared away dishes quickly and the wait for food and coffee was short. Friendly staff.

Coffee cups with dirts are used to serve customers.I feel very disappointed.

Great coffee nice quiet place
Big smile

The flat white I had was good and had excellent single pour latte art. The ham and cheese sandwich was good as well, but the portions were small for me.

Great neighborhood coffee stop. Food is ok too. I especially like the marble cake

People should leave it blank, but also want to try this shop Flat White ~

Little place, good coffee and pastries, reasonable prices

was very good, much better then the franchises like starbucs

Cute little spot in the Wan Chai area with good coffee. Nice ambiance and friendly service

Good atmosphere, but c'mon no credit card accepted?

I always enjoy my Sunday breakfast here, good coffee & tasty pastry.

Small but cosy.

A place full of passion and energy! Nice coffee nice staff, cozy environment and resonable price, I must come back!
