Here’s a plot twist in Hong Kong’s drinking scene – this daytime coffee spot moonlights as one of the city’s smartest cocktail secrets. While the sun’s up, Blend & Grind does the expected specialty coffee and brunch thing with style. But as dusk settles, these airy cafes transform into something more interesting: laid-back cocktail spots that won’t demolish your wallet.
With branches spreading across Kennedy Town, Star Street, and Mid-Levels, they’ve cracked the code on casual neighborhood cocktails – cool terraces, zero bullshit, and all-night cocktail prices that’ll make you do a double-take (HK$70, seriously?). No speakeasy passwords or elaborate garnishes – just a place that makes you question why you’re still paying triple at that fancy cocktail bar down the street.
