Several of Hong Kong’s leading coffee specialists have opened new branches alongside some intriguing newcomers.
Read on for our pick of the five new cafes to visit in May.
1. Artista Perfetto
While Hollywood Road may be better known for nightlife with its collection of bars and fast-food shops under the Mid-Levels Escalator, a new addition offers early birds a quality fuelling stop.

The third branch of Artista Perfetto is its tiniest yet, with enough room for just a few customers to stand and drink inside. The signature dirty (cold milk with hot espresso floated on top) is just as good here.
23 Hollywood Road, Central
2. Halfway Coffee
Halfway Coffee’s new branch is just as interesting as the others in its portfolio. Known for setting up in venues with a certain patina – the Sheung Wan location was a former traditional cha chaan teng (Hong Kong-style cafe) – the team has this time taken over a charming local diner, retaining many of the original elements, such as the stainless-steel countertops and plastic menu boards.
