Karena Cafe

1. 3D LATTE ART! You can have a fun foam sculpture plopped atop a cappucino, mochacino, or chococino. HKD48 for normal white foam, HKD58 for colored foam.
2. Karena Café is located inside Mikiki, a small (compared to others in HK!) Japanese-​themed shopping mall. There’s no MTR station nearby, but a huge mess of bus networks.
3. Mikiki has a Japanese supermarket on the lower floor with a good selection of beer. If you buy booze, the waiters at Karena (limited English but well-​intentioned) will open bottles and provide glasses!
4. The 3D latte art takes a long time. Granted, we ordered 11 cups all at once (heh heh), but the last cup didn’t arrive until 40 minutes after the first one did.
The price is high, the coffee itself is OK, and having a bright green cartoon character sitting on top of your drink while you sip away its existence is a little creepy. Still, I came here with ten other girls this past January, and we had a blast gushing over this strange new Japanese coffee trend.
