Live slowly as a literary youth in Hong Kong, experience the human feelings in Sheung Wan Lane.

The impression of Hong Kong is always crowded with people and filled with a fast-paced sense of urbanization. If you are tired of the scenic spots after visiting the mall and want to find a quiet corner to rest, you might as well go into the alley, feel the humanity and comfort on the ground, and sit leisurely in the cafe for a warm afternoon.

Sheung Wan itself is a special place, although it is also a financial district, but compared with Central, the streets are a little cleaner, the streets are built by mountains, and the winding stairs seem to lengthen the time. It is like riding a time machine back to the old Hong Kong of the last century. Walking here, you can't feel the fast pace of Hong Kong, you can't meet tourists all over the street, you can only meet graffiti on street corners, small shops of different styles, and interesting people.

So, this time, Feekr will take you to visit the petty bourgeoisie cafe in Sheung Wan as a slow Wenqing in Hong Kong.

Lof10 runs a library

(figure: @ aiko's)

LOF10 is a cafe built on a slope, hidden next to a medical museum full of history, and exudes nostalgia from the inside to the outside. The earliest "pavilion" in Hong Kong is actually the general name of an old grocery store, and this coffee shop used to be a restaurant, and the old iron gates left behind in the past have become the iconic retro decoration of the store. On the other hand, the English name of the library means "love often", which sounds like a full sense of literature and art. The shop is a small L-shaped space, with a large long table and several wall seats, pure white brick walls, plaster floors, iron chairs and wardrobe doors serve as a bar, full of industrial flavor.

The concept of running a restaurant is to provide busy people with a place where coffee can really be tasted. Coffee beans are airlifted to Hong Kong every week from Handsome CoffeeRoasters Bakery in California to keep them fresh. Every detail in the store is very attentive, from the selection of coffee beans to the design of coffee cups, and even ice cubes use whisky ice puck, which melts slowly and does not dilute the taste of coffee too quickly. In addition to coffee, the restaurant also provides dessert snacks and all-day breakfast, which is very suitable for friends' get-together.

CoCo Espresso to Queen's Road has been standing in Sheung Wan for about 9 years. It is full all the year round, and the coffee quality is not careless. However, the energetic and friendly smile of the shop assistant corresponds to the fact that there are so many regular customers that they can pick up coffee directly without ordering in line. The shop assistant knows the taste of the guests, which may be one of the reasons why it is so popular.

Oldish

(figure: @ KIU LAW)

Oldish, located on the quiet sloping street of East Street, is a coffee shop called Old things, with nostalgic European-style decor, such as the door signs of the old-fashioned Western hardware Store, mottled brick walls, wooden window edges, and white retro minivans at the door, all adding an exaggerated "old" atmosphere and attracting a lot of attention for the store. When I walked into the store, the small space was stuffed with things and arranged in disorder, from murals of different styles to randomly placed colored plates, from old tables and chairs to a dresser with flowers, and it was not surprising to say that it was an antique shop. It's humorous and funny. There are not many seats, there is a seat for more than a dozen people in the middle of the shop, just like a large wooden table in the kitchen at home, and there are also several high chair seats by the window, which can enjoy a fully open view of the street.
