Community boutique coffee shop: who doesn't want to concentrate on making coffee?

For professional baristas, please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

There are few high-rise buildings and no roads in this area, which Chen Jiayin thinks is the most ideal shop site.

Barista Ivy (Chen Jiayin) deliberately avoided the downtown area, so she opened the first boutique coffee shop in Tai Wai just to focus on making coffee. "I don't want to be in a hurry, like Starbucks rushing so fast, what kind of flavor do you want?" If only caffeine is refreshing, they are advised to go to a tea restaurant. Those coffees have the most caffeine. " Also because the competition in the city center is really fierce, to worry about rent and how to outperform others, a good cup of coffee is not enough.

Barista (right) Chen Jiayin thinks that many Hong Kong people's impression of coffee still lingers on the quality of chain stores and cafes.

"people come and go in the street, probably just tired of walking. Casually passing by to drink coffee may not be for my coffee. These are not the guests I want." She has a unique business view and is greedy for the low flow of people in the community. "if I were a guest, I wouldn't want the coffee shop to be full for a long time." However, there is always a gap between ideal and reality. The rent of NT $40,000 a month is even higher than that in Kowloon. The old tenants and neighbors nearby decided that they could not do it and did not understand what is meant by fine coffee.

When an uncle pushed in early in the morning and said he wanted "leg egg milk tea takeout", Ivy didn't know how to react. Some customers were "misled" by the chain coffee shop, but blamed her instead: "those who are used to drinking caramel macchiato think it will be a big cup called macchiato, but they can't tell the difference between latte macchiato and it." They often want a large cup or grande, and they think a big cup is cost-effective. " Ivy, who originally spoke softly in a soft voice, was full of smoke at this point.

"many people say that a cup of coffee is sour. Coffee beans are the kernels of the fruit, and they taste sour. There are also five spoonfuls of sugar added before drinking! " Originally, her mixed coffee was fruity, but now she is considering adding more nutty aromas to make it more acceptable to her guests. She feels that this is due to the culture of Hong Kong. Most people do not have the concept of a coffee shop. They only regard it as a restaurant, and even come here for food. She has no choice but to add a lot of kinds of food in order to survive. But to tell you the truth, "in Hong Kong, which barista doesn't want to concentrate on making coffee?"
