The coffee pub of the winner of the Hong Kong barista contest: see the day and night in Central

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

People who often listen to caffeine also like wine, because their taste experiences are similar, and they both talk about sweetness, acidity, texture and origin. Barista Dawn opened a coffee shop serving coffee and wine in Central just a few months ago. Wine and coffee bar is very popular in Japan and even in Europe, but Hong Kong people are still used to separating coffee from alcohol, and only a few coffee shops such as Winstons and Fineprint use this model.

In the afternoon, I have seen many people in Central, sitting on the bench and drinking coffee on the bar, like happy hour, which started early. The coffee shop uses standing bar's design: "in the past, in the coffee shop, customers set up tables to form their own country, baristas are very difficult to interrupt, it is easier to move here." Dawn likes to communicate with guests and introduces regular customers to know each other. In the evening, the bar manager Jacky home court is changed, the lights are dimmed, some jazz is played, and the guests order a glass of wine to continue the romance of the day.

If you want to break through, make special coffee.

"Coffee in Hong Kong has been like this for ten years: milk coffee, fast coffee, hand brewing, should we make a breakthrough? The level of coffee in Hong Kong is considered as top level in the world. Why stop here? " Many coffee shops have to provide food separately in order to survive, but he insists on not doing it and asks, "if you want to make food, why don't you open a restaurant in the first place?"

The 2014 HKBC Award-winning Creative Coffee is so sweet and intoxicating that it can definitely subvert guests' imagination of coffee. ($128)

And Dawn does have the capital to persevere. He was the champion of two Hong Kong baristas competitions and the fourth place in the world baristas competition. One of the events is creative coffee, and people in the industry often complain that they can't drink it after the game, so he brought the specialty coffee from the 2014 competition to the coffee shop. "it's probably the first one in Hong Kong to do this. I can't answer why no one did it before, so I'll do it. "

The coffee shop is on the side of the busy tram road, and a piece of glass separates the outside world from the hustle and bustle and returns to serenity.

Add pineapple juice and hops to the Espresso, extract the aroma of Earl Grey Tea with the smoke of dry ice, and pour the gas onto the coffee, like fog and flowers. Creative coffee pays attention to synergistic effect (synergy). "you can't just drink coffee with pineapple flavor, it should have complex flavor." This cup of coffee really comes from both sides. Coffee fans love its complexity and difficulty, and laymen are fascinated by its magical fog. His latest TwinkleTwinkle is also filled with wine, the golden frosting adds lychee to the coffee, and the cup is full of twinkling stars. Wine and coffee are so intoxicating.

Chen Guanhao set up his own house for the first time and created a lot of things. He has only opened the shop for a few months and has already had a second creative coffee, Twinkle Twinkle. ($128)
