I was craving a breakfast with eggs in it, which in Hong Kong is harder to find than one might think. Unilocal is generally less used than TripAdvisor over here, but in this case, Unilocal came through. Café Sausalito is the sort of place that would be one of my go-to spots if it were in LA. It’s cozy, hidden away in the garment district, with a comfortable vibe and a super friendly staff. There’s free wi-fi, and most importantly, the food was excellent. I got the all-day breakfast, which included eggs(perfectly cooked and elevated by the presence of mushrooms), smoked salmon, sausage, toast and a side salad. I was on vacation, so I wasn’t really looking to do work here, but I could easily see myself ordering food and hanging out here on a regular basis to write or work on my laptop if I were a local. The food menu isn’t huge, but everything on it sounded appetizing(i.e. «small but mighty»), particularly given the quality of my first dish – definitely above the level of most cafes. Café Sausalito is definitely a winner.

Ein sehr gutes und schmackhaftes Café gut zum frühstücken. Es hat auch ein sehr schönes Ambiente. Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert.

I am so glad I stumbled across this place. Set amongst the button and zip shops of Sham Shui Po is this gem of a café, that would be perfectly at home in any Australian city. Michael and the team serve up top notch espresso based drinks and a tasty menu including a hearty all day breakfast with scrambled egg, salmon, bratwurst, delicious mushrooms and tomatoes. Get in before 11:30am and you get an espresso with it for free. Yes. Before 11:30am. Café Sausalito is the ONLY café I have found in the Sham Shui Po area to be open before 11am — these guys are kicking out the caffeine from 9am Tuesday to Saturday, and from 10am Sunday and Monday. Prior to finding this place I had to resort to McCoffee, which, as we all know, is not really coffee is it. A pleasant place to sit with the laptop and work away(free wi-fi is available), and great for families and small groups, the café is comfortable and attractive and with enough quirk in its décor to satisfy my inner hipster.

A Café that encompasses an Australian coffee shop with the reminiscence of Sausalito California. This unexpected venue can be a gem in this hustling and bustling neighborhood where the fashion world meets its fabric, buttons and lace. Love the atmosphere. Has a friendly barista… also a mom ‘n’ pop joint with some hipster flair:) … Will return!
