Myoc

I know this place is supposedly good for coffees (the ‘C’ in MYOC stands precisely for coffee). Make Your Own Coffee, geddit?
I instead opted for something very instagrammable — their burger & Shake combi (hk$ 98).
Now, I wasn’t expecting anything much. At all. I mean, I’m not ordering their speciality.
But I was very pleasantly won over. The burger — it’s really a slider cos it’s small! — was actually good. The party was pink, juicy, tender, flavorful, and packed a succulent punch. I had Wagyu beef, cheese and avocado and the burger was delicious. I would have more of that. Really, I would.
And it’s fun cos the straw comes out of the burger from the milkshake below. I had a Blue Orange milkshake with Vanilla crunch ice-​cream. I gingerly took a sip of the milkshake, expecting it to be deadly sweet. It wasn’t. My heart sang with joy! Yay, no diabetes today, mummy! Again, in fact, I really enjoyed their Vanilla Crunch ice-​cream because it contained crunchy cubes of hazelnut wafers. You would recognize them instantly. How wonderful!!! Homemade ice-​cream, I suspect!!!
All in all, I had a good meal. The only negative was the small size of burger for the price. But it won me over in terms of taste.
And yes, isn’t it absolutely Instagrammable? Hahaha #Shallow #iDontcare

This is the first shop I give one star in my Unilocal review history… But since many of my friends just got rickrolled, I have to write in here sadly.
MYOC, the coffee shop claimed to «make your own coffee,» saying they have more than 88 recipes to choose from. From what I expect to try something exciting and maybe something innovative, but receiving a huge disappointment.
They have only very few unique ingredients to choose from, all I remember they have yogurt, popcorn, pop rocks and ice cream dip (and they run out some of these too), far less than I thought of, and not special at all. So, back from what you can read in menu, the so called «mix and match» is just simply add these ingredients to cappuccino, latte, americano and so on… to create «88 recipes»! Oh, and don’t forget they count regular coffee, regular espresso as well. This is very difficult to choose because they are basically the same!
The only creativity they do is to create special names for all combinations, so to grab your attention. Maybe the barista is not familiar with these sneaky names, I wonder if he knew what was he doing, the coffee is by far one of the worst I ever had.
I couldn’t agree they are doing «gimmick» neither, the coffee is just an overpriced mess. Shop is small and nothing I can give credit for.
Please, there are way more good cafes to choose in cwb!

The very vast variety of coffee concoctions was the first thing to grab my attention after the cuteness of the interior wore off. So many coffee drinks. All (or almost all!) start with a base of espresso and then add things like ice cream or foamed milk or honey. I am lactose itolerant and there was even a drink for me: soya milk with almond and coffee. Delicious! And it was around 7pm so I knew I’d get totally hyper and not sleep if I drank espresso, and they were nice enough to substitute decaf for me.
The food was less successful — they do about six types of pancakes; three sweet and three savoury. My friend and I wanted savoury food and so we ordered one order of salmon pancakes with egg and one apple sausage pancakes with egg (the other type is beef but we didn’t want that). Well the server came back to tell us the sausages were out. So we switched to two salmon. Server came back to tell us there was only enough for one order left. Well, we decided to share, but it seemed pretty silly that the place hadn’t ordered enough supply to last all day.
Pancakes themselves were really fluffy and light and the amount of salmon was generous. Greens were fresh and bechamel sauce was good too — though it’s a bit small for $ 90. Still, this is CWB so I didn’t expect excellent value for my money.
My friend and I were able to sit and chat for a while after we finished and the staff weren’t pressuring us to leave. That was nice.
