Where to get good coffee on Park Island
As more expats, who appreciate (and crave) good coffee move to Park Island, the question as to where to get good coffee on Park Island is becoming more common.
I am a very fussy coffee drinker, and somewhat of a coffee connoisseur, so I struggle to find good coffee anywhere in HK. To put things into perspective, I would rank a Starbucks coffee at around 2/10, Pacific Coffee at 3/10, Café O and McCafe at around 4/10, and Press Room and Classifieds at 7/10.
I tried a coffee at Café Roma on Park Island and would rate it at 4/10 (although for many people the coffee there would be considered entirely fine).
Anyhow, a number of people recommended me a café in the Ma Wan village, called Rosanna Tea Room, so I thought I would check it out.
See below some pictures of the café.
First pic shows a yellow table where you can sit it you want to drink outside.

I forgot to take a pic of the coffee I was served, but more important is how would I rate it? I give it a 7/10. So, unless I buy my own coffee machine (which I might just do), this is where I will be drinking my morning coffee. Rosanna Tea Room also has free wireless internet access and is nicely air-conditioned (comfortable, but not freezing cold).
How to find it? Probably easiest would be to ask a local “where is the good café in the village”? Tell them you are looking for the café next to the Fai Kee Seafood restaurant. Most locals should know where the Fai Kee Seafood restaurant is, as it is supposedly the most famous seafood restaurant on the island and often is visited by Government Officials for lunch or dinner when they are on the island.
Just found the blog. Have been living on at Park Island for a couple years now and love it. Thanks for the post, I'll go check out the coffee.
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve. Do let me know what you think of the coffee. If I am coming from Central to Park Island I often also get a coffee at the cafe at the Discovery Bay terminal (can't recall the name off hand, but its also pretty decent).
