Rabbithole Coffee and Roaster

Iced coffee

Americano




Rabbithole Coffee and Roaster
2/F, Cochrane Street
Central, Hong Kong

Notes:
You pass the Rabbithole Coffee and Roaster on your way up the World's longest escalator system, which is found in Central in Hong Kong. B and I thought the place looked adorable, and we were quick to jump off and have a look further. We found seats around the communal table and were quickly served. The coffee was great but I guess I am still not that much of a coffee connoisseur to understand the excessive prices, which was also the case here. As in many other places, the idea of the communal table did not really work too well but given the small space this solution is understandable. I did however enjoy the coffee, so if you are in the mood for a high-quality, expensive coffee I certainly recommend Rabbithole Coffee and Roaster.
