Cafe Lavande

I've been trying to look for a cozy cafe that was not Starbucks or Pacific Coffee in Hong Kong, sadly these type of businesses face a daunting struggle in a busy city such as Hong Kong. Most people do not care for these type of establishments and many close after opening for a few months due to high rents and lack of demand. Cafe Lavande is a gem amidst the hustle and bustle of Central and makes you feel as if you have entered a quaint cafe in the countryside of France. The size is a little too small for comfort (always very close to the barista/waiter) but overall the decor is very charming and it has some decent coffee and food. There is also outdoor seating but since it was summer we opted to go inside to enjoy the air conditioning, but I believe the outdoor seating to be extremely lovely when the weather is more permitting.

Foie Gras Pate Salad
The salad had a very generous amount of pate and the salad greens were fresh. Nothing mind-blowing but it was a enjoyable afternoon snack. 


Iced Lavender Coffee
The coffee was topped with little bits of lavender along with some lavender syrup. I've always loved floral flavored foods such as rose macarons and lavender ice cream so I was really excited to try this lavender coffee. The coffee was decent but I would have liked it more if the lavender flavor was stronger.
