This San Po Kong cafe bills itself as Hong Kong’s only ice drip speciality coffee shop, referring to a method of brewing that tends to yield light, delicate yet flavourful coffees. Along one wall, you will see an impressive set-up with suspended glass vessels holding ice, slowly dripping into coffee grounds below.
