Lof10

I came here every week to work on stuff when I was an exchange student at hku. I love this place! Lof10 brews blue bottle coffee which is from the Bay Area so it reminded me of home when I was away! Their espressos and lattes are also soooo good and they have snacks and light food for sale if you’re hungry!
What I love most is the interior. Although the space is small they really made it feel spacious. They had a community table in the front of the space and some smaller tables near the wall. Also there was a smaller community table in the back.
Lof10 is definitely a hidden gem!

Lof10 is a trendy little café tucked away near Caine Road that is perfect for spending the afternoon studying or working on a laptop. The music isn’t too loud, the wifi is fast, the tables are spacious, and the staff are nice. There is a mandatory purchase for all people sitting at your table, so make sure everyone gets a drink if you’re studying in a group. My ONLY gripe is how expensive this place is — $ 118 HKD for cheesy korean ramen, $ 50+ for a tea latte… other than that, this is a great place to sit down and do work /​study /​enjoy the wifi /​chill out.

We stumbled on this place while walking down one of the many sets of stairs towards Central. We were hungry, in need of coffee and some breakfast. The Café looks very cool — with a very designed minimalist aesthetic. Paired with the big street front opening, this is somewhere to be seen!
We ordered coffee and «fruit toast» which sounded intriguing. The coffees arrived and were very good — balanced flavour with good steamed milk.
As we finished our coffees and idly wondered where our «fruit toast» could have got to, we spotted the girl who took our order dart into the shop with what looked like a shopping bag of groceries! A few minutes later, out «fruit toast» showed up. Now, I don’t think we had built up our expectations too much, but what arrived was a bit of a disappointment: two slices of dry white toast spread with chocolate spread with sliced fruit arranged on top. It was all wonderfully presented, but seemed less that what this café seemed to promise. And for almost $ 60, I would hope for something a little more exciting.
So stay to be seen and drink the coffee, just skip the food.

I don’t know if I am being too picky when all other reviews are giving five stars.
I agree the atmosphere was perfect. The location was quiet and we could really chill at the table. It looks like we could meet cool people there too. Everything was just perfect except…
The Earl Grey Tea Latte. It is just too watery. I can’t taste the tea nor the milk. Basically no taste at all. Well… Since it has a great interior, I will go there again later and give it one more chance on another drink. Maybe coffee since other Unilocalers recommended.

Awesome coffee and awesome place! Hidden gems of Sheung Wan. Will definitely come back! Spent 4 – 5 hours at this coffee shop, last time i was there. Great place to chill with a couple friends. Also a great place tonstudy and work at on a rainy day. Feels just at home with the simple look. Must visit if your looking for a chill coffee shop!

Love this café for sure!
If you don’t mind take some walk around Sheung Wan, this is one of the best café I would recommend. It locates at a street that cars are not allowed to drive in but totally worth a visit.
Lof10 imports coffee bean from Blue Bottle hence the coffee here is probably the best around Sheung Wan area. Desserts are homemade and I tried the cheese cake which is very delicious.
The Loft style of interior design is also one of the reason I love about this café — simple, neat, but definitely good taste on selecting furnitures.
I would say this is the place that I’ll definitely come back again next time when I’m in Hong Kong. :)

As a caffeine addict myself, I am always on search for the next best coffee joint. Coffee and Cafes has become quite the fad in Hong Kong in the recent years so there’s many to choose from.
Lof 10, however, had a special place in my heart ! A bit off the path off ladder street, this place takes a little big of digging out but once you do manage get to find it, the café will make you feel like you’ve departed Hong Kong and arrived at a café on the west coast in the U.S.
Lof 10 is:
Spacious, serves one of the best coffees I’ve had in Hong Kong, free wifi, one can sit here all day to read a book, contemplate about life or better yet, get some work cranking on your laptop.
Cute little hidden spot that serves your ice lattes in artistically dented glasses for easy gripping. That’s my number one go to drink here.
A small Ice Latte will set you back 48, and while we know it’s not the cheapest coffee out there, given the monstrous price other similar cafes charges these days, it wouldn’t really stop me from making a trip here once in a while :)

This is the coffee shop that made me fall in love with Hong Kong. Tucked on the side of a hilly back alley in Sheung Wan, this minimalist’s dream garage-​like space served up the best coffee I had during my visit (Blue Bottle + ice spheres = can’t lose) in a gorgeous, breezy environment that made me want to stay all afternoon.
Sitting at the rustic communal table, using the free wifi, reading a local arts magazine that had been left by the previous customer, I just felt like I was at home. When the barista explained that the shop was opened with the idea of bringing «west coast US culture and lifestyle» to Hong Kong, it all made sense, and I felt like I had somehow stumbled upon one of Hong Kong’s best kept secrets in a city that’s not known for keeping its mouth shut. As I’ve started seeing the space pop up in design magazines from airport lounges around the world, I can tell it won’t be my little secret much longer. Go, relax, enjoy.
