breakfast spots Hong Kong Bakehouse

Bakehouse – Breakfast pastries, sourdough, egg tart master and more

Who can resist the sourdough egg tarts? Whether you’re grabbing something quick from the wide selection of pastries, quiches and breads, or dining-in to sample their brioche French toast, shakshuka or coconut cheesecake (because why not?), Bakehouse is always a great breakfast choice that doesn’t disappoint. We suggest going a little past 9am to skip the office crowd, but if you’re really looking for a quaint spot, check our their new location at Stanley!

Blend & Grind – Healthy breakfast bites and smoothies

Grab some affordable and healthy breakfast with the family at Blend & Grind. We’re personally a fan of their Kennedy Town location simply because it’s more spacious and there’s a generous dog-friendly spot out front (breakfast for your furry friends too). From blueberry and banana pancake stacks to smoked salmon bagels and Chipotle and yuzu eggs Benedict, there’s a generous amount of yummy foods to choose from. We highly recommend going for their hearty smoothies for an energy boost!

breakfast spots Hong Kong CATCH.

CATCH Quarry Bay– Smashed avocado toast and all-day breakfast

Here’s the catch (sorry we’re on our third cup of coffee already!), you don’t go to Quarry Bay and not take your family to CATCH! The cute and chic restaurant serves some of the most eye-catching (okay, we’ll stop now) breakfast bites suitable for all ages! The little ones can munch on the mini granola jar which is easy to eat and one of their most popular dishes is the smashed avocado (with added salmon!). But for a true breakfast experience, definitely go for the Breakfast Board.

NINETYs – All-day breakfast including smashed avocado toast and more

A popular breakfast choice amongst many, NINETYs cafe takes inspiration from the Australian cafe culture and aims to be inclusive to all taste palettes. This branch at Soho is a cosy corner serving Smashed Avocado Toast, Crab Benedict and homemade char siu. For Aussie-inspired bites, we recommend their Mackerel on Toast with Grilled Miso Potato or the Kale and Beetroot Salad for a colourful and healthy start to your day. Kids will love their Taro Mochi Muffin and Chocolate Hazelnut Roll! All in all, this is a family favourite!

When you go over to SOMM at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, you’ll look at the menu and go now that’s some breakfast! With the extensive menu, you may feel a little overwhelmed of what to order, going for their Breakfast Formula is a classic choice that’s worth the buck (cheeky Mama and Papas can go for the Bubble Breakfast!).

Elephant Grounds – Poké bowls, daily pastries, healthy breakfast options and more

We love this K11 MUSEA location that offers both indoor and outdoor seating, do note that it gets a little crowded during weekends and you may need to wait a bit for a table. From green options like Avocrab Salad to Elephant Ground signatures like Elephant Agnus Burger and wait, there’s more! The cafe also serves poké bowls and daily pastries! Pair that with quality coffee to boot (or non-coffee options work too!). We recommend waiting a little extra to grab an outdoor seat in the Bohemian Garden (lots of photo-ops!)!

Located just by the promenade, NOC’s Whampoa location is one of our favourites. You can easily bring along your kids’ scooters and have them let loose by the sea after breakfast or you can catch a ferry over to North Point (or better yet, check in to Kerry Hotel for a sweet staycay!). For the caffeine lifeforms, we’re huge suckers of NOC’s coffee beans and the drinks they serve at the cafe (mocha to be precise!). For breakfast bites, you can’t go wrong with any one of their toasts.
