Best cafes and coffee shops to visit in Sai Kung

Drop by The Square during your next trip to Sai Kung for all-day dining at this casual cafe-slash-restaurant. The two-storey eatery has ample space for diners to enjoy their meals, from an al fresco outdoor dining area, or their second floor which provides a calm atmosphere to relax in, to a backyard behind the restaurant that’s full of plush greenery. No matter how small or big your appetite is, The Square’s menu is sure to have something that’ll fill you up. Options include light dishes such as sandwiches and wraps, along with hearty entrees like chicken and waffles, whole lobster burgers, and 12-hour slow-cooked crispy pork.

This dinky oasis serves all-day breakfasts and healthy Mediterranean lunch offerings like the haloumi bowl with quinoa, pickled beetroot and lemon tahini dressing. Stop by for nourishing grub and good coffee, as well as comfy couches, fast Wi-Fi and plenty of sockets for your laptop or phone.

While this cafe isn't ideal for relaxing or getting work done at, Sai Kung Café and Bakery steadily attracts visitors and locals alike with their signature buttered pineapple buns, as well as other pastry creations like Portuguese egg tarts and fluffy buns. As for drinks, don't miss out on sipping on iced milk teas or a silky cup of fresh coffee as you scarf down Sai Kung Cafe & Bakery's baked goods. 

Cozy Coffee is an open-air, two-story cafe offers a haven of peace situated by the main road leading into town centre. Its light-coloured decor on the ground floor attracts the post-beach crowd – and their pets – on the weekends, while the second floor's library theme makes for a more relaxed ambience. We recommend the lobster to accompany their pour-over coffee.

Turtle by the Sea is an idyllic seaside dining venue conveniently located by Sai Kung Public Pier. The dining venue is split into two halves – a restaurant and bar on one side, and a cafe on the other – each with a deck to provide ample space for outdoor diners or those with dogs. Whether you're fuelling up on breakfast before a day full of adventures or getting dinner after a junk trip, Turtle by the Sea has a wide selection of pasta, pizza, salads and sandwiches, as well as small bites that will pair perfectly with their long list of drinks on the menu.

Adding to the city's ever-expanding list of minimalist cafes, NN Coffee keeps the crowd coming by offering excellent coffee and a simple – but no less delicious – menu made up of brunch, salad, and pasta dishes. The cafe's bare concrete walls, coupled with a honey-coloured hue from wooden furnishing and framework, easily make the cafe one of our favourite spots in Sai Kung. Head upstairs and park your bum on a seat by the window for a peaceful afternoon of people watching.

Run by brothers Owen and Romus, Cafe Hook is a cafe with a cool industrial interior that's tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Sai Kung Pier. This cafe serves a variety of casual bites like pasta dishes, hearty burgers, all-day breakfast plates, and a small selection of desserts. Aside from standard coffee beverages, Cafe Hook also offers a range of specialty beverages like popsicle lattes and refreshing sodas.

Hushush Ice Cream Coffee’s location may not be the easiest to find, but once you try their sweet offerings, you’ll see why they’re worth meandering through Sai Kung’s alleys. Sourcing coffee beans from around the world, Hushush provides a wide selection of flavour profiles for you to savour. Hushush’s homemade ice cream is also a must-try, but since they regularly rotate their ice cream menu, be sure to stay up to date on Hushush’s Instagram or Facebook for new flavour announcements.
