[1] Are you looking for a new coffee shop spot? Here are five Hong Kong cafes to check out.

[2] EN Coffee
EN Coffee on Shin Hing Street in Sheung Wan just opened a second shop in Causeway Bay. The Leighton Road branch opens earlier, from 8am, and serves a selection of pastries, yogurt bowls and egg sandwiches alongside single-origin coffees.
Shop G06, Leighton Centre, 77 Leighton Road, Causeway Bay

[3] By the O
This brand’s mantra is “better coffee, better life”. Its third outlet has just opened its doors in To Kwa Wan. The new location is colourful and cosy, with mismatched furniture and bits of greenery to make guests feel like they are in someone’s living room. Hearty breakfast platters, slabs of French toast and a hand-drip coffee menu keep the locals in the neighbourhood happy.
Shop 45, G/F, Honour Building, 58 Cheung Ning Street, To Kwa Wan

[4] Eato
This Japanese-style cafe in Central specialises in toast and coffee, but the creations are far more complex than they may seem. The toast is made with thick, fluffy shokupan (Japanese milk bread). It comes in different variations, including one slathered with thick black sesame, candied walnuts and dango (glutinous rice balls). Apart from classic coffee options, customers can also opt for drinks such as creamy coconut lattes and sparkling teas.
86 Wellington Street, Central

[5] Brisa
If you love mocha or feel like going all in on chocolate, then Brisa is the spot to try. A self-proclaimed cacao cafe specialising in single-origin coffees by day and cocktails at night, the venue also offers a chocolate tasting board and a whipped chocolate dessert.
Shop No 301A, 3/F, Lee Garden One, 33 Hysan Avenue, Causeway Bay

[6] Blossom
Blossom has reopened down the road from its original location. Its larger space has outdoor seating that is great for customers with pets or those who enjoy people watching.
Shop No 4, G/F, Eight Southpark, 8 Nam Kok Road, Kowloon City
