New cafes in Sheung Wan and Central that you should try
The pint-sized No Title doesn't have much space for seats, so they're mainly a takeaway spot but they're pet-friendly for those who do want to sit in. The proprietors Wing and Man are a young couple from Guizhou who love nostalgic Hong Kong vibes, so their cafe is full of Easter egg references, such as a goldfish tank that's a nod to Wong Kar-wai's films, a milk cake inspired by the long staircase at the end of Gough Street, and a playlist of Cantopop classics.
Their coffee blend is from the Chinese person who won the world's best pour-over coffee, and No Title is the only place in Hong Kong where you can savour this. The nutty blend carries hints of dark chocolate and buttery caramel, while the fruity option has white floral notes. There are plenty of options on their sizeable list of signatures and non-coffee sips that come with their own stories, such as the Tiny Goldfish, the Moulin Rouge, and the Opacarophile (it means someone who loves sunsets, fyi).
If you're not quite sure what to choose, have a chat with the baristas who can pick something based on your current mood and what you're sensing in that moment, which is a really cute touch. Apart from homemade Lamington cake, No Title also offers Guizhou sticky rice, featuring lard and soy sauce mixed rice topped with pork crackling – an interesting pairing for coffee, to be sure!
