I came here mostly because a Sassy review said it was nautical themed and if you should know only one thing about me then it is that I love anything and everything nautical! Sadly, there didn’t seem to be anything remotely nautical… The age itself is a small two stories where you order at the till and they bring you your food. The food itself is pretty good, a nice variety of eats and drink options. The décor is very mix and match — we had two tables of different sizes pushed together to accommodate our three selves. It’s definitely a busy place on a Sunday and after we had finished eating we were asked to either order more or give up our table which was a little sad as we were having a good ol’ chinwag. Not a place to come for a long chatty brunch(although I can’t think of any other kind!?)

We were looking for new places to explore for a little girly Sunday brunch love-in. We’d read a few reviews about corner kitchen café and were inspired to go, firstly for the food, but mainly because someone had said it was nautical themed and one of the girls LOVES nautical. We were a bit disappointed with the theme — no stripes or life savers in sight … However, the food was tasty. They had plenty of eggs and sweet brekki treats, however,(and this is my own fault really) I was craving a bagel and didn’t feel satisfied when I left. The service was okay, although we were asked to leave so they could turn the table around… It’s a busy little haunt on a Sunday!

Great variety of options for veggie and meat eaters. Would highly recommend. Jus know that they will not make adjustments to menu options when it’s busy.

This place is amazing. Sadly when we were in Hong Kong it tended to just lash down with rain every hour of every day and this meant we spent much of our time hiding in bars, cafes and restaurants.(It’s a hard life) This place was like a super cool hipster American style café. It had an interesting menu and we selected a chicken & Lemon grass wrap, a roast Turkey and Mayo wrap, fries, and a local Hong Kong IPA. The food was great and so was the beer. If you are looking for breakfast, Brunch, lunch or dinner and perhaps fancy something with a hint of western dining to it, this is the place for you. You order at the counter, pay and then they bring your grub out to you. They also seem to do some awesome looking cakes.(Although I did not try one of them) If they had one in Glasgow I would go right now!

If you can get the right seat then this is an enjoyable hang out but that’s easy said than done. I pretty much always end up sitting on one of the stools at the top of the staircase which is far from ideal. I find it hard to look beyond the Asian chopped salad which is full of flavour and they also do a good coffee here. I think it’s hit and miss depending on what you order but I’m only saying that because people I’ve been there with have been disappointed with the dishes they’ve ordered.

A cute venue, a great view with the park across the street, but I found my food to be underwhelming. This was brunch, mind you. The scrambled egg avocado and feta wrap was literally mush, mush and mush in a wrap. And the English breakfast was a great presentation but uninspired in its execution. I’ve been told their salads are delicious but I was there in the morning so salad didn’t seem fitting. I likely will not repeat(for bland brunch at least)

I would have given 4 stars if the service had been better. I know its a self-service restaurant, in the sense that you go up and pay for your food before you eat — that’s fine! But the staff weren’t very smiley or friendly, and when servers are working for tips, you want smiley staff! The food was amazing, great menu, fresh ingredients, reasonable prices! The coffee was amazing — great coffee! The atmosphere and design of the place was really cool and bright. It was just a shame walking up to the cash register, and your first point of contact doesn’t greet or welcome you. Having said that, one of our servers was really friendly and made lots of effort — if only the whole team had been that way!

I have just moved to Sheung Wan and was exploring the area on a Saturday morning when I stumbled upon this place. It was packed but I was lucky to get a table by the street side. I asked for the most popular lunch item and was told it is the juicy beef burger. Skeptical as I have not had a good burger in HK for three years, even at Peninsula where they charge HKD250 plus toppings, but I ordered it anyway! The presentation, as seen from the picture, was awesome and the taste, perfection of the grilled beef, the freshness of the ingredients was superb. The fries felt as if they were hand cut — not sure if they are but they sure felt like it! Will I come back to this place? Have I found my favorite burger joint in HK? Yes and yes!

I am a big fan of Corner Kitchen Café and it is a regular haunt for me both for weekend brunch or evening meals. However, I must admit that it is not the savoury options that are the biggest lure for me to come here but the cakes. The Cakes, the glorious cakes, are displayed in a glass cabinet for everyone to admire and this display invariably succeeds in ensuring that I extend my meal to indulge in a slice. Every option that I have tried has been a winner but the true highlights that have stood out to me have been the salted caramel and red velvet cakes. Both are sweet and indulgent and probably contain enough sugar to send you slightly hyperactive for a week but who cares when it tastes that good! The staff are super friendly and the savoury food is good as well — I am a fan of the salmon burger. Put that all together and you have a five star local hangout.

This is a great brunch placed located across from Hollywood Road Park. We have been here several times with the french toast quicklly becoming a staple. The prices are reaonable, and the seating upstairs is comfortable. Pitchers of ice water are provided to help you with your fresh coffee or free flow bloody mary’s.

Fantastically cute, reasonably priced, well located, and yummy! Service was friendly & efficient. We tried 2 fresh juices, kiwi & watermelon — they were a bit pricey at $ 40 each for a smallish glass, but were really friggin good. Not overly sweetened and tasting of nothing but perfectly ripe fresh fruit. We also ordered one brunch and one main. Oeuf Meurette French style eggs cooked in red wine with chicken & bacon and Barramundi roasted with lime & tomato, served with smashed potato and rocket. So delicious, both. Portions were generous — 2 soft boiled eggs in the breakfast and a large cut of fish in the main. A tip: if it looks full, check up the stairs. There’s an entire upstairs dining area! Will be back.
