Caffee Essenza

Checked: Caffe Essenza (Kwun Tong)

Opened by Cafe Corridor's boss Felix in the spacious lobby of an office building in Kwun Tong, a few street's walk behind apm mall.

To cater for the area, the price is extremely reasonable, hkd24 for a latte, hkd14 for expresso.

Aircon is very high here, my coffee turned cold quickly...I know latte's supposed to be milky but this was way too milky for me (prefer 18 grams' stronger version) and very slightly on the watery side. Milk foam's alright, could be thicker I suppose.

For the price and quality though, cannot complain. Opening hours like office hours so go on weekdays if you want a try.

Piccolo Latte

Checked: Coco Espresso (Sheung Wan, station, exit E2, intersection of Jervois Street and Bonham Strand) 

Technicalities aside, from an amateurish perspective, a piccolo latte is small latte more condensed and strong fit in a 100ml glass, in between macchiato and latte by comparison, and often more expensive than a full blown glass of latte.

Coco Espresso is a tiny and warm little cafe with rather good coffee, well hkd34...but strong yet smooth and milky at the same time. Just slightly weak on the foam. Will return. There's another branch in Wanchai if Sheung Wan's too far for you.
