Ogawa Coffee, Kyoto Sanjo

We liked this little coffee shop – for its location on the corner of Kiya-machi Dori and Sanjo Dori and the relaxed unpretentious atmosphere.

Despite being a big chain with numerous branches dotted around the country (with a higher concentration in the Kansai region) Ogawa Coffee retains a certain charm. Staff were friendly and professional.

We opted for one of the desert sets and a latte. The coffee was ok but unremarkable as was the desert but there was nothing to complain about.

A perfect spot for some people watching or catching up with fiends, or, as in our case, ducking out of the rain for half an hour.

Coffee and Cameras | 02

One of the nice things we like to do is wander around taking photos and then stop somewhere for a coffee. Here we stopped at Second Draft a pub / craft beer bar in Tai Hang.

Tai Hang is an area bordering Causeway Bay and Tin Hau and is supposed to be up and coming. It hasn’t really got going yet though as bars and restaurants seem to close as often as they open. Rents are to blame, obviously.

Emily was playing with the Hasselblad on this day as well.

Chu Chu and Matty went for some coffee at Le Pain Quotidien in Wan Chai. Ok coffee in some over-sized cups and a comfy chair. We had some average carrot cake as well. Not bad overall.

Jouer – Wan Chai – Fuji Industrial 400

Jouer – Wan Chai – Fuji Industrial 400

Some photos from Jouer, a little coffee shop in a quiet corner of the faintly pleasant Star Street area of Wan Chai, specialising in home-made French macarons.

A highly characterful space decked out with vintage trinkets and curiosities and a few copies of stylish magazines including Monocle (shop also in Wan Chai across the road) strewn about for good measure.

The coffee is pretty good here and the macaroons are very tasty. You’ll need four of ’em to make a mouthful of course – tiny as they are. A lovely way to spend an afternoon.
