I usually go out for lunch after 1:30pm to avoid the crowds. By the time I got there, most of the crowd were finishing their coffees and ready to go back to office. 

I ordered the "Academics Breakfast", expecting the usual sausages, bacon, eggs, baked beans and toasts. The dish arrived quickly but I was immediately disappointed. The plate was full but half of it were barely dressed salad leaves, together with two pieces of bacon, baked beans, one sausage, toasted french bread and wait, ONE egg! Seriously, for HKD108 (plus 10% service charge), I would expect a decent portion. Is two eggs for breakfast too much to ask for?

Taste-wise, nothing out of the ordinary. The sausage, bacon, egg and baked beans tasted all right. The salad could use some more seasoning/dressing. I could only taste the olive oil... The bread was way too hard - not crispy. The pesto sauce on top was too little, rendering the rest of the bread just too dry. 

After I finished the meal (which was quick enough given the measly portion), I ordered a flat white. 15 minutes went by and no sign of it. As far as I saw, the place was half empty and I honestly didn't know it could take that long to make a cup of coffee. Mind you, I was there just two weeks ago on a busy Saturday afternoon and it just took a few minutes to get my coffee. 

The poor guy next to me ordered a pizza when I had just started eating and he must have waited 20 minutes or more for his food. 

With the coffee, the bill came to HKD162.8 (including the 10% service charge). Seriously, for this price, I could've got a very decent meal elsewhere and wouldn't have been late for work. 

P.S. I should have taken a photo of the said sad breakfast but really, I couldn't be bothered.

茄汁豆額外加入了雞肉碎, 揮去單調感,
微暖的更能感受到心思, 與其他從罐頭直接倒出,
吃完多了份溫暖在心頭。
煙肉用水煮, 可以沖淡醃製煙肉時的鹽份及油脂,
鹹味降低變得更易入口, 煙肉肉質唔會乾同變硬崩崩。
也避免了用油煎煙肉時產生的油膩。
腸仔只得一條, 一貫見開都是有3-4條不同口味,
其實叫all day breakfast目的,
心態不外乎是因食物多種類,
二是想吃街市買到混了色素麵粉及重鹽”雞肉腸”以外的腸,
這裡真的失色很多, 絞肉混有香草, 軟身腸衣,
唯塞得不實,當中滲入了空間, 少了實在的口感,

跟餐包指定的普通咖啡或茶一杯,
奶有預熱才奉上, 值得一讚
炒豆過了火,蘊含強烈的焦苦味及酸味,
接受不了多添了牛奶及糖來中和溝淡。

While I'm not a fan of the often mediocre coffee and dubious "food items" to be had in our countless coffee shops that seem to be popping up like mushrooms everywhere, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised with this outlet.
True, the staff seemed a little inexperienced and didn't help us find a table nor did they tell us if they would serve us or if we'd have to order from the counter (these things are not "self-understood" these days... or maybe I'm just a bit old-fashioned). Anyway, we found the perfect seat with a splendid view of Johnston Road and ordered capuccinos and some "Churro" (a curious South American delight I've been dying to try for ages...). 
I must say that the wait for our order was a bit long and I think others who came in after we did were served before us, but I suppose it was to ensure that we'd have our coffee with the "Churro", which obviously was made freshly and took a while.
Oh, and it was SO worth the wait!!!

The "Churro" was hot and crispy crunchy, coated in a delicious combination of cinnamon and sugar and accompanied by a very good coffee ice cream doused in a little caramel sauce. Absolutely addictive and wonderful.
This is something I will come back for.
The coffee was good, too, and came with a cute heart-shape in the foam, but I must admit I found it hard to concentrate on the coffee while considering whether to have a second helping of the Churro or not...
Well done Coffee Academics!
題外話/補充資料: Good atmosphere, nice surroundings, convenient location and surprisingly good nosh!

Great coffee, good food, ghastly 'service'...

Despite the location, decor, patrons, quality of the menu items and price point. There wont be a return visit purely based on principle; they just don't 'get' service and when I flagged my observations with them, the staff member's answer was "we are busy", not "sorry" or "we'll try to be better next time"...

"Busy" is a 'good problem' for your shop to have, and "busy" may mean that we, your customers, may have to wait a little longer for the delivery of our requested items - not a biggy (big problem) if we can see your shop is busy. But "busy" is not an excuse for you and other staff not wait tables or ask or acknowledge folks standing at your service counter for two minutes if they need assistance...

I previously had to assist this staff member, my 'WAITress', to 'serve' their customer, so she knew exactly my point - but, along with her colleagues, is overwhelmed with a good morning's trade; when 'eye's up and around the room' (instead of towards the floor or tunnel vision) and 'better time management' is imperative...

Only once escorted to my seat and left with the menus did this staff member take the order of the guy neighbouring me that had been seated prior to my arrival. It was difficult to get her attention as she rush away, walking straight past my table, to give her my coffee order.

Coffee came quick (and it is gooood FWIW), but as I was on the phone at that time neither one of us attempted to obtain/give a food order - no problem. She came back a few times to seat new guests, but her peripheral vision was non apparent (an never checked in on her existing seated customers). 10 minutes later seating new guests right next to my table, I literally had to lunge at her to get her attention to place my breakfast order.

Well-trained staff should know their section and where their tables are at (in the ordering/delivery process). Being 'busy' with customers coming and going will challenge one's memory, but this is where a good set of eyes will help; i.e. menus still sitting on the tables would suggest that they're (still) yet to order...

Some 10 mins after finishing my food (and coffee), I wasn't able to flag any staff to request the check, so not able to identify where the cashier area is, I stood at their service area.

One member of staff at the bar worked (sorting orders and saucering drinks) standing next to me for most of the two minutes I stood there, her and my 'WAITress' both walked pass and around me at lease once each during that time - I didn't say anything, as this had now become a test to determine just how bad it is. No eye contact, no 'can I help you' or 'what the hell are you doing standing here in our way...'.

I could have quite easily walked out without paying, and not been challenged - did others...

Finally, I spoke to both of them, requesting for the bill and that an acknowledgement that I was standing there would have been nice...

Busy? Then work smarter, when you seat new customers on your way back to your service area or awaiting task simply look around your section and perhaps even check in on some customers that you haven't checked in on for a while... This was the suggestion I made to my 'WAITress' when she told me 'we are busy' as she prepared my bill, and she then replied with 'we are busy' clearly missing the point...

If the staff / mgmt of TCA read this, fortunately there is a variety of places for us to explore around HKI for a Sunday morning coffee and breakfast, so if you want to retain your other customers please take heed the observations herein; not only as described above, but I also observed that perhaps your wait staff are working too large section (for the turnover of people) or always meddling a section that is not their own.

I also noted that a number of customers seated in the area I was in, didn't stick around very long, short seating and only drinks... Perhaps its their own schedule, or we're they also disappointed with the level of service...?

With the rental prices in HKG, I'm sure that not only do you want your business to be 'busy' but also to successfully sustain being 'busy'... if so, then you need to spend time with your staff, and help them - and also train the bar staff that they can help out when the wait staff are struggling (i.e. they shouldn't be above asking a customer standing next to them for two minutes if they need assistance). The bar staff had to 'push the app button' to print the bill for the wait staff to retrieve and then deliver to the customer - efficient...?

Good luck, I wont be back and I only introduce my friends to places where they're likely to enjoy the experience, but I'll swing by to see what your shop front looks like in 6-9 mths from now... that's the exciting, yet sad, reality of HKG; new dining experiences to try within a year of when the last tenant launched and couldn't sustain...

Mine: Eggs Benedict The 2 eggs were placed on 1 side of the muffin because instead of the salad being on the side, it was on the other half of the English muffin. How smart of them, so they saved themselves a piece of ham. I felt cheated. Oh well, I do have to admit that this benedict was indeed very tasty.  I think it was broiled and I liked it.
 The hollandaise sauce was balanced and very tasty, so I forgive them for robbing me my piece of ham.

I've been here many times for coffee, which is REALLY expensive, but is quite good.  If you're willing to pay about double than what you would at Pacific Coffee for a small cup of coffee, then maybe you'll like it too lol.  The spot itself is very cute and nicely decorated with big windows in front, but they also cram like twice as many seats as there should be in there.  It's soooooo busy on a weekend afternoon!

I've dined in twice.  Both meals left much to be desired.  First was the breakfast tower.  It is a hefty portion of breakfast offerings stacked up, as the name suggests, in a tower.  A piece of toast serves as the base with spring mix drizzled with vinagrette, slices of tomato, bacon, a sausage, and an egg over easy.  Sounds good, right?  In theory, yes, but it was impossible to eat!!  I just deconstructed it so I had a messy plate of breakfast items that I could actually eat.  I have no idea how they think someone is supposed to eat food stacked like that.  My guess is they didn't, and they just wanted to be cute and do it for sake of presentation.  It was okay, but extremely expensive at over 100 dollars for what it was...  toast, an egg, bacon, and sausage.  Would not order again.

I went there today and had THE WORST FISH TACOS I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE.  They were literally fishsticks in hard taco shells with "mango salsa" on them, which is just diced mango and onion as far as I could tell.  They were TERRIBLE.  the "fish" was cold, and the taco shells were straight up STALE.  Like completely inedible as they were chewy they were so stale!  The "salsa" was REALLY sweet as it was mostly mango and little else.  It was actually quite funny what a complete and total fail this meal was.  And the price, dear god...  the tacos and an iced tea came to $198.  You've GOT to be kidding me.  I think I could make better fish tacos myself.  drunk.  with one arm.

As for the iced tea, it's a pretty small glass and cost $42, but I have to say it was DELICIOUS.  I will give credit where credit is due.  In my experience it has been hard to find unsweetened iced tea in Hong Kong so I was DELIGHTED to find it here.  Just a HINT of citrus and so, so refreshing.  I will be ordering this for take-away on a hot day (read: every day lol) many times this summer!

But... I WILL NOT be eating there again.  I genuinely hope someone who runs that restaurant reads this.  I am really wishing I had said something to the staff at the restaurant at the time!  Fish tacos?  More like FAIL TACOS!

銅鑼灣 The Coffee Academics 經常去. 但灣仔店是第一次由第一天開已期望到直至這一個星期日方有緣份光顧約了朋友三時見面, 但過了半小時還沒有見她出現小妹唯有先下單唔想以為我明坐, 白用她們 WifiCappuccino是指定動作 6 oz $38 再加一點甜品便完美下午茶了從走進店子那一刻已被在餅櫃內的Lemon Tart $42 吸引著,小妹今天絕不放過它它的體積就正如一般的蛋撻一樣, 身材中等,但以 $42 來說絕不便宜了。蛋白糖打得很輕, 更以火槍燒過, 能夠輕微增加脆之餘, 亦令賣相加分。蛋白糖面下是一層液體形狀的檸檬汁, 感覺是有點奇怪, 但甜酸味道讓人感覺。清新, 撻皮則有欠鬆化, 這個非一般的Lemon Tart好不容易會令人留下印象。Cappuccino (Slimmed Milk) 奶泡豐富, 細滑如白雲,咖啡濃度就像度身訂造一樣, 不酸, 不苦, 不過濃, 而且餘韻更停留在口腔一會。無論環境, 食物, 咖啡也令人滿意, 只是價錢略貴。雖然喜歡這裡但亦只會偶以光顧, 反正好得咖啡店多的是。

從走進店子那一刻已被在餅櫃內的Lemon Tart $42 吸引著,
小妹今天絕不放過它
它的體積就正如一般的蛋撻一樣, 身材中等,
但以 $42 來說絕不便宜了。
蛋白糖打得很輕, 更以火槍燒過, 能夠輕微增加脆之餘, 亦令賣相加分。
蛋白糖面下是一層液體形狀的檸檬汁, 感覺是有點奇怪, 但甜酸味道讓人感覺。
清新, 撻皮則有欠鬆化, 這個非一般的Lemon Tart好不容易會令人留下印象。

Cappuccino (Slimmed Milk) 奶泡豐富, 細滑如白雲,
咖啡濃度就像度身訂造一樣, 不酸, 不苦, 不過濃, 而且餘韻更停留在口腔一會。
無論環境, 食物, 咖啡也令人滿意, 只是價錢略貴。
雖然喜歡這裡但亦只會偶以光顧, 反正好得咖啡店多的是。

縱使年紀不小,然小妹總是自欺的,永遠覺得自己是小孩。今日,係四月四日兒童節,決定一個人外出用餐,好好慶祝一番。原打算去Ginger Bakery,誰知竟盲摸摸走到the coffee academics門前。既然命運如此安排,小妹就順乎天意,入去坐在望向電車路的高木凳位置。其時,店內坐滿了型男索女,有三五成群七嘴八舌的,也是如小妹般單丁呆坐一旁的。在舒適的環境中、輕快的音樂下,各自沉醉於自己的世界中,享受短暫的黃金午飯時間。紅磚牆、復古的吊燈,以及富東方色彩的雕花矮櫃,營造出一陣既傳統又浪漫的情懷,讓人情迷意亂。午市套餐有五個選擇,價錢由$88-$118不等,包主菜、餐湯或沙律,另加$10可選配自家製蛋糕及餐飲一杯。是日餐湯是南瓜忌廉湯,濃稀度適中,富南瓜香且夠鮮甜,入口帶有微辣。主菜小妹揀了Academics Breakfast$108,另加$10要了杯熱檸茶及朱古力蛋糕,當作送給自己2014年的兒童節禮物﹗快樂不是被動地等人給予,而是主動地自己去追求、去製造﹗望著窗外熙來攘往的路人,以及一大班追訪大劉的記者,小妹覺得能置身其外、安坐餐廳內冷眼旁觀,是幾幸福的一件事……熱檸茶茶味不稱

其時,店內坐滿了型男索女,有三五成群七嘴八舌的,也是如小妹般單丁呆坐一旁的。在舒適的環境中、輕快的音樂下,各自沉醉於自己的世界中,享受短暫的黃金午飯時間。

主菜小妹揀了Academics Breakfast$108,另加$10要了杯熱檸茶及朱古力蛋糕,當作送給自己2014年的兒童節禮物﹗快樂不是被動地等人給予,而是主動地自己去追求、去製造﹗
望著窗外熙來攘往的路人,以及一大班追訪大劉的記者,小妹覺得能置身其外、安坐餐廳內冷眼旁觀,是幾幸福的一件事……

熱檸茶茶味不稱得上馥郁香濃,屬一般水準。然而,那套杯碟的圖案蠻特別的,頗有內涵,教人賞心悅目。

全日早餐也是一般水準,驚喜不大。昆布蘭腸條屬英式豬肉腸,不是小妹喜歡的味道;太陽蛋煎得頗為準繩,蛋白熟嫩滑無比、熟透度剛好,而蛋黃則只是面層薄薄一層凝固了、包圍著內在熱情如火的蛋黃。輕輕用刀一切,蛋黃如熔漿般湧出,蛋味頗為香濃;瘦肉比例較多的煙肉稍嫌煎得不夠香脆,口感稍差;法式乾而硬的麵包素來均得不到小妹的歡心,嚥不下,只咬了數口就不顧了;焗豆不過不失;沙律菜夠鮮爽、富嚼勁,混入黑醋汁同吃,煞是清新開胃。

朱古力蛋糕size不大,黑古勒突的樣子、貌不驚人,卻能掠奪小妹的芳心﹗
餐廳的蛋糕蠻有水準的﹗朱古力蛋糕味道濃郁芳香,層次分明,幼滑細緻無比,朱古力味濃但不會太過甜膩,面層灑上的銀色裝飾粒粒蠻具咬口,搭配確是一流﹗

題外話/補充資料: 埋單時忘記了睇單,全單好像是$128.xx,不知是點計的﹗

是日晨早活動!活動完結,才十時許,還趕得及吃豐富早餐。但我並沒有這樣做,只是去飲杯咖啡。來杯Latte, 要大的。拉花漂亮,视覺率先得到滿足。然而,不知是否我近日工作太累,呷一口下去,竟覺得杯拿鐵跟我條命同樣苦。喝兩口後,也決定要放糖。談了一輪,又差不多時間下場約會,埋單走人。謝謝阿拔請客!

來杯Latte, 要大的。拉花漂亮,视覺率先得到滿足。然而,不知是否我近日工作太累,呷一口下去,竟覺得杯拿鐵跟我條命同樣苦。喝兩口後,也決定要放糖。

Like topic, this is a good place for drinking coffee. A lot of coffee vintage photographs are being hanged on the wall and telling about the process of making coffee. A big schedule of coffee class tells customers when you are welcome and learn it together. Environment is relaxing and water with mint in the crystal bottle, sounds fresh. Oh… I forgot to give introduction why I was there. I came here with my colleagues at lunch hour. Around 5 lunch meal sets you can choose e.g. penne, pizza, salad

Like topic, this is a good place for drinking coffee.

A lot of coffee vintage photographs are being hanged on the wall and telling about the process of making coffee. A big schedule of coffee class tells customers when you are welcome and learn it together. Environment is relaxing and water with mint in the crystal bottle, sounds fresh. 

Oh… I forgot to give introduction why I was there. I came here with my colleagues at lunch hour. Around 5 lunch meal sets you can choose e.g. penne, pizza, salad, all day breakfast, etc. The set is with a soup or salad and coffee. If you wanna have some sweet to be your closing of your meal, you can give HKD10 to order the cake of today – chocolate cake.

I ordered the garlic prawn and sauce “red root vegetable” penne, salad, espresso and chocolate cake. It’s totally stuffed my tummy!

Salad – tomato is fresh and sweet. I love it so much.
Penne – Frankly, I don’t like much about the red root vegetable but I agree it’s healthy. So, I gave myself again to try it. The taste is just ok for me.

Cake – wow, top texture is hard but middle is creamy. The chocolate should be dark with some silver mint topping. It tasted with a cup of coffee. Perfect!

Coffee – no sugar and milk required. The acidity is mild and color is brown. After drink feel comfortable in throat and warm.

Note: The first met with “red root vegetable” was in Australia too. That inspired me to make this title…haha =). Here make me the day of Sydney!!!

I had just finished lunch in the area when I passed by The Coffee Academics. I love how part of the place opened up into the street so you can do some people watching while dining there. I was just looking to buy a drink to help with digestion so decided to get some coffee here.There was a big coffee counter inside with many dining tables as well.

Conveniently, there were some seats available right outside their shop which was made up of cushions and wooden boxes as tables. It was there that I sat down to enjoy the coffee.

Piccolo Latte ($28) - my takeaway latte came in a tiny little paper cup. When I opened the lid up, the latte didn't look aesthetically pleasing as there was no latte art on it. The microfoam was not fine enough while the coffee tasted overextracted as it had a bitter aftertaste. The size was also smaller than I expected.

I wasn't impressed with the coffee but the restaurant looked like it may be a good place to hang out.

Having nice deco does not mean you can charge any price.  The coffee is so-so but the pastries are really disappointing.My pear charlotte has a jellified mousse centre, soggy boudoir biscuits and a totally hard and inedible pear like fruit on top.  For $6X dollars, I can go to Robouchon, Petite Amanda, Laduree and have more pleaure in my purchase.Digging their own grave in my opinion.

We visited Coffee Academics for a cafe latte and were underwhelmed.  The coffee was a little bitter and, despite the fancy pour work, was no better than any little cafe in Hong Kong.  It does not challenge 18 Grams in any way.  We opted for the house blend, but it still cost a lot for what we got.  It was priced at 38 dollars for a 6oz coffee, but after the 10% service charge, cost 42 dollars.  Kind of extortionate.  The real joke is that the service charge is totally unjustified, as all they do

Basically, go elsewhere for good coffee.  If possible 18 Grams.
