Food and Drink Awards: Best Coffee Haunt
UNAR COFFEE Company
Opened by a team of young designers, this jet-black java bar stands out as the cool kid of Hong Kong’s coffee scene. We love the laid-back neighbourhood vibe and we also credit UNAR’s minimalistic seating arrangement (a long communal bench and a few chairs scattered outside the shop) for creating a hip street corner community where patrons mingle on the sidewalk over cups of coffee. And when it comes to beans, UNAR uses only the finest from Italy’s award-winning Barbera coffee company. If we didn’t make it clear enough already, say hello to our favourite coffee spot of 2011.
