愛咖啡同事除Holly Brown也推介Barista Jam給我,心水餐廳太多之故還未特意來試,其實她就在上環煲仔飯對面,趁Honhon們未到之前先來杯咖啡。狹長小店在週末下午真的蠻多人,雖然還有樓上雅座,但要好好享受咖啡時光則稍為熱鬧了,幸好還有面對咖啡BAR的獻花握手位給我這個懶惰客人,近廚得食之餘還不用走得太遠嘛。不用看餐牌就點了PICCOLO($30),今次的拉花有點藝術家,不對稱的心心就如我一樣的偏心。 小小一杯的笛子咖啡飄出來的咖啡香有點酸,幸而入口卻沒有什麼酸度,奶泡也打得夠香滑,只是咖啡香偏輕柔,當也沒有想要的餘韻,在我而言這杯啡比奶多的咖啡仍未夠勁道,只怪自己沒有特意挑選較濃口味的咖啡豆吧。大門右側有著多款咖啡豆,問過店員今次用了HOUSE BLEND #17的咖啡豆,如果重臨的話這款咖啡香不太夠濃的咖啡豆,在個人選擇中可以剔除了。小小咖啡店除了供應咖啡外,其carbonara似乎也蠻受歡迎,坐了不足十分鐘已有2名客人點了三份,要是沒有那麼熱鬧,在這享受一下意粉咖啡及甜品也是樂事。繼Holly Brown後這裡的咖啡師也是年青秀氣,跟客人視線接觸時也報以友善微笑,笑

 不用看餐牌就點了PICCOLO($30),今次的拉花有點藝術家,不對稱的心心就如我一樣的偏心。

小小一杯的笛子咖啡飄出來的咖啡香有點酸,幸而入口卻沒有什麼酸度,奶泡也打得夠香滑,只是咖啡香偏輕柔,當也沒有想要的餘韻,在我而言這杯啡比奶多的咖啡仍未夠勁道,只怪自己沒有特意挑選較濃口味的咖啡豆吧。

 大門右側有著多款咖啡豆,問過店員今次用了HOUSE BLEND #17的咖啡豆,如果重臨的話這款咖啡香不太夠濃的咖啡豆,在個人選擇中可以剔除了。

小小咖啡店除了供應咖啡外,其carbonara似乎也蠻受歡迎,坐了不足十分鐘已有2名客人點了三份,要是沒有那麼熱鬧,在這享受一下意粉咖啡及甜品也是樂事。

繼Holly Brown後這裡的咖啡師也是年青秀氣,跟客人視線接觸時也報以友善微笑,笑一笑世界果更美妙,這也是自己喜歡泡咖啡店的原因之一。

十一點多來到，枱已經滿了，兩個人唯有坐bar枱。點了一個Turkey club，還有一個煙肉煎蛋包。煙肉煎蛋包表面很有光澤，很鬆軟蛋煎得剛好，好吃。Turkey Club本是咸食，但這裏的除了有煎香的Turkey外，還有芝士、煙肉脆和紅莓醬。紅莓醬的甜味和Turkey出奇的夾，加上煙肉脆的口感，出乎意料地好吃。點了杯flatwhite，入喉細滑，這裏的咖啡亦很有水準。

 Turkey Club, 一如以往食極唔厭咁好食! 煎過嘅厚Turkey，脆嘅Bacon, 溶咗嘅芝士(大塊啲仲好XD) 加埋小小甜嘅Cranberry Sauce真係無敵~
總結: 可以專登坐車來咁好食, 雖然飲唔返熟識味道嘅咖啡但係Barista Jam 嘅食物足以令我間唔中就會想來食個意粉飲杯咖啡.

    Environment+ cleanliness:
    My first impression was that it was neat and clean. We managed to find a table for two right by the stairs, which was where they put the magazines. The simple decor of the cafe gave it a rustic but warm vibe. With some nice Jazz playing in the background, it was a relaxing afternoon for me and my sister to enjoy some coffee and cake.

     Service:
    We were received with a warm smile by a staff who handed us menus. Then, the chubby dude that I've seen people complaining about on openrice took over. 
     My sister thought that he was rude because when she asked about cold drinks, he asked her to look at the menu so she decided not to order any drinks at all. I personally thought that he wasn't rude becasue at least he smiled and seemed friendly, maybe just a bit socially awkward. 

    Taste+ value: 
    I love my coffee so I got a single latte and my sister and I shared an Earl Grey Creme Brulee and a Truffle  Brownie Cake. I have no idea how much everything was but the bill came to $96, which means nothing was over $40 so I think it was not too expensive since most desserts are usually over $40 and the coffee could have been too but they weren't. We tried the Earl Grey dessert first. The mousse was smooth and fluffy. The taste of Earl Grey wasn't too strong, same as the custard inside. However, the two chocolate bits on top were rich and yummy. Not a bad dessert at all, but out of the two, the brownie tasted better. Although it was called a brownie, it was nothing like a brownie. The bottom was creamy and more of a mousse texture. Then, it had a hard chocolate top making it look like a volcano.
     Both my sister and I wondered how they shaped the top that way. Anyways, it was a REALLY good dessert. 
     I would recommend this over the Earl Grey one. 
    I think their latte is the best I've had in HK so far. 
    That's all that needs to be said. 
    What's more relaxing than having a spoon of dessert then a sip of coffee with my favourite jazz music playing? HA! I was one satisfied person when I was left.

     Final Verdict:
    Yes, I will be back. I liked the latte a lot and I want to try the other desserts~! 
     Forget about my waistline.

      Unpleasant coffee time bcos of that fat guy!
      2013-09-02 2867 views
      It was 5, an hour before they closed. I and my husband went up to the 1st floor to get 4 seats cos my mom and dad were coming, and there werent 4 seats downstairs. The fat guy asked us to sit on the ground floor cos the 1st floor was closed. My husband said we had 4 persons. That fat guy answered, "Sorry then, we have no seat!" Well, so we went down, though we could only find 2 seats and didnt understand why he only asked us but not the others on the 1st floor. When mom and dad came, I and my h

      Well, so we went down, though we could only find 2 seats and didnt understand why he only asked us but not the others on the 1st floor. When mom and dad came, I and my husband had to stand. That fat guy was lucky cos some guests left a few minutes later. Otherwise I would questioned him about that BAD ARRANGEMENT!


      I and my husband had ordered 2 piccolos, while mom ordered flat white and dad ordered cappucciono. Though these coffees were still not bad, the milk froth was not as smooth and sweet as last time. And the espresso base was not as strong as the previous time. Getting worse now? Did they change the milk, or the coffee beans, or the proportion of the coffee and milk, or did they change the barista?

      Anyway, for the arrangement and coffees are getting worse, I and husband would rather choose the other cafes.
      Other Info. : This is not the first time the fat guy thinks he is supreme, but he doesnt know he makes the guests angry and dont wanna come back again!

        都好一段時間無去jamjam食lunch, 剛好同事生日, 就決定再去jamjam度嘆恴粉同咖啡啦~第一次嚟哩度食飯, 已經愛上咗哩度o既咖啡, 意粉都係出乎意料的好...今日我食o既係香濃蕃茄鮮蝦意粉, 意粉質地煙煙unun好有咬口, 蕃茄依家咁香濃, 只係蝦略嫌咸咗少少...同事o既長通粉都係軟硬恰到好處, 好香滑o既忌簾汁配上奇異果係出奇哋夾, 好新鮮o既感覺...咖啡呢...淺淺咁呷一口...忍唔住微起雙眼去享受果陣咖啡味晌口腔內轉嚟轉去...哩度o既咖啡係絕對唔可以咕嚕咕嚕咁吞落肚...好浪費...只不過對於我哋一般打工仔嚟講, $150一個lunch著實係貴咗少少...當然...佢o既品質亦係值回票價...我唔介意間中比多啲錢食一啲有質素o既嘢...但咁o既服務態度...真係希望哩度o既負責人可以睇到哩度o既食評(同服務評價)...其實員工o既服務態度都係好好的, 我真係唔希望下次嚟食嘢o既時候仲要面對好似哩個肥仔員工咁o既態度!!!

        第一次嚟哩度食飯, 已經愛上咗哩度o既咖啡, 意粉都係出乎意料的好...
        今日我食o既係香濃蕃茄鮮蝦意粉, 意粉質地煙煙unun好有咬口, 蕃茄依家咁香濃, 只係蝦略嫌咸咗少少...
        同事o既長通粉都係軟硬恰到好處, 好香滑o既忌簾汁配上奇異果係出奇哋夾, 好新鮮o既感覺...
        咖啡呢...淺淺咁呷一口...忍唔住微起雙眼去享受果陣咖啡味晌口腔內轉嚟轉去...
        哩度o既咖啡係絕對唔可以咕嚕咕嚕咁吞落肚...好浪費...

        只不過對於我哋一般打工仔嚟講, $150一個lunch著實係貴咗少少...
        當然...佢o既品質亦係值回票價...我唔介意間中比多啲錢食一啲有質素o既嘢...
        但咁o既服務態度...真係希望哩度o既負責人可以睇到哩度o既食評(同服務評價)...

        其實員工o既服務態度都係好好的, 我真係唔希望下次嚟食嘢o既時候仲要面對好似哩個肥仔員工咁o既態度!!!
        Other Info. : 本來大家都抱住一個好愉快o既心情去食哩餐飯, 但就比收銀個肥仔(下唇下邊有隻耳環物體o既肥仔員工)掃哂興!!! 話說去到我哋被安排晌二樓, 諗住點埋嘢先上去坐, 肥仔收銀只比咗一份menu我哋三個人睇, 諗住節省時間問佢攞多份menu各有各睇, 點知個肥仔不情不願咁晌佢後面拎多個比我哋時加句"同個板(白板)上面一樣"... 我哋已經望吓佢...你(肥仔)背後成叠menu, menu唔係比客人睇要嚟做咩? 跟住點餐時, 我同事問佢A pasta(其中一款pasta個名)係咩嚟, 肥仔就話"咪係A pasta囉, 你自己睇清楚"... 我哋三個你眼望我眼...咩serice嚟o架? 我會覺得你唔識中文可以禮貎啲話你唔識中文, 但唔係咁講嘢啩... 我哋講要咩時佢對眼完全無望我哋晌度周圍望, 然後我哋講一樣嘢佢就"嗯"一下咁回應... 我一路望住佢, 心諗...究竟佢係咪落緊單o架呢? 真係完全唔覺得自己晌一間餐廳度點緊菜咁囉... 到點好哂嘢, 唔知係咪因為我o既眼神已經出賣咗我... 我見佢望吓我又望吓我比錢個同事, 跟住比返張credit card我同事時就皮笑肉不笑咁"笑住"遞返張咭比我同事... 成餐飯...我哋一半時間都晌度討論果個肥仔員工o既態度... 好老實講, 嚟哩度食咗無十次都有八次, 哩個肥仔員工係第一次見, 真係晌jamjam哩度從未遇過一個咁o既員工...真係令人印象實在太深刻...

        One of the first stops for coffee connoisseurs in HK is Barista Jam, a small coffee shop on Jervois Street, just off a bustling thoroughfare in Sheung Wan. As soon as you enter Barista Jam, you will notice that this place is meant for some serious business, with an impressive La Marzocco espresso machine working at full speed and many hip coffee geeks gliding in and out of the cafe.I am no coffee expert, but the coffee shop's sense of artistry was rubbing off on me as soon as I entered.

         One of the first stops for coffee connoisseurs in HK is Barista Jam, a small coffee shop on Jervois Street, just off a bustling thoroughfare in Sheung Wan. As soon as you enter Barista Jam, you will notice that this place is meant for some serious business, with an impressive La Marzocco espresso machine working at full speed and many hip coffee geeks gliding in and out of the cafe.

        I am no coffee expert, but the coffee shop's sense of artistry was rubbing off on me as soon as I entered. This small place has a down-to-earth, industrial decor, and is split over two floors, with the coffee counter and a few small tables on the first floor, and a long communal table upstairs. The second floor, even though more spacious, is less comfortable than the first floor as the toilet is located upstairs, and also because the dimly-lit area feels a bit like a store room.

        My friends and I came on Saturday for an early lunch, and the place filled up very quickly. Some breakfast dishes, sandwiches and pastas were available.

        Barista Jam是一家由澳洲人開的咖啡店，很多愛咖啡的人都會特意來品嘗這裡的優質咖啡。Barista Jam的食物不是重點，只供應幾款三明治，意大利麵和一些甜品和蛋糕，但我覺得這裡的食物也不錯。最重要的是咖啡十分好喝，難怪小小的店內都長期坐滿了客人。

         (1) We knew that coffee would be the star of the meal and that the food would only take a backseat. However, we were still a bit dismayed that at 12.30pm, linguine was already sold out, so that we were only left with penne and spaghetti. When we got around to eating the food, though, our spirits were immediately lifted. The creamy smoked salmon spaghetti ($95) was cooked to a perfect al dente texture, and the cream sauce, thick without being too heavy, dressed the pasta marvellously. The amount of salmon was just right, and the smoked salmon tasted wonderful.

         (2) The prawn with tomato basil penne ($95), which was lighter than the salmon spaghetti, was delicious too. The tomato sauce had a citrus, pleasant taste, and the prawns were fresh and bouncy.

         (3) The best pasta we tried, however, had to be the smoked duck breast with pumpkin penne ($90). The duck breast was firm and flavourful, but it was the alluringly sweet and creamy pumpkin sauce that was truly memorable. The combination was bright and refreshing, and it was one of the best weekend dishes that we could have asked for.

         (4) I ordered a cup of Latte ($33) and at first sip I already knew that this was different from most coffees elsewhere. The coffee in the latte was a house blend, with nutty and caramel flavours and a little spicy finish. The milk was hot and frothy, and the amount of milk was perfectly balanced with the amount of coffee. I now understand why people from all over Hong Kong (if not overseas) can't wait to lay their hands on a cup of coffee here.

         (6) A small selection of desserts (not made in-house) are available. We shared an apple tart ($35) and the pastry was buttery and nicely layered, but it would have tasted even better if it was warm instead of cold.

         (7) We also tried an earl grey creme brulee ($35), a velvety dessert which was nicely set off by an intense taste of earl grey tea. Each morsel was a delight and we devoured this little piece of cake with great pleasure.

         With their consummate expertise in coffee, it is no surprise that Barista Jam is such a popular haunt for coffee lovers. Even though the space is small and the location is a bit out of the way, the exquisite coffee blends will surely make up for their shortcomings in other aspects.

          Barista Jam is a café with an attitude. On a Sunday afternoon, the upper floor of the 2-storey café was closed. When we entered, the place was almost full with some 8 diners. As we saw on a black board a few types of special coffees available that we were not familiar with, we asked one of the 5 baristas hiding behind the bar area what he would recommend. In a very blunt tone, he declined to give any advice as he didn’t know what our preference or acceptance level were. He recommended us to try only the ordinary one such as cappuccino first. I totally understood his ground but his attitude and the pride he carried on his face made me think I had offended him. Finally we ordered an Americano, a house brew and two pieces of cake. All the baristas behind the bar were chatting and paid very little attention to patrons. I am sure that some of them but not all are very knowledgeable about coffee. After we finished our first round of coffee, I decided to give a try to one of their specialties, a barista with a more reasonable sense asked what characters or flavours of coffee beans I preferred, this was the minimum type of service and hospitality I was looking for. Passion for coffee is one thing, but I believe hospitality and patience are also equally important for running a café.

           With good and interesting aroma, it was less acidic than I expected. It carried a towards salty taste that resembled the Chinese preserved bean curd (腐乳).

           Only 3 types of cakes were served on the day and they’re from other supplier. Having said that, they were of high quality and with reasonable price. This black forest was with dark chocolate sponge cake, preserved cherries and top with layers of dark chocolate fold.

           Chocloate and hazelnut hard mousse was layered in between slices of chocolate. To the right sweetness.

          not my first time to the place. arrived at sheung wan at around noon. (thought the resto blends in really well with the stores around from the outside - see for yourself! *chuckle*) walked in, easily found a spot on the ground floor (probably cos it was not yet lunchtime for offices around), put down my stuff and ordered at the counter where i found the same lad with glasses who doesn't smile much. (one just orders at the counter and pays only after eating.) i remember the first time i was there and was troubled as to which coffee i should have, he offered advice and said for first-timers cappuccino would be a safe and good choice - an excellent choice it turns out!

          ordered spaghetti with spinach, mushroom and chicken and regular hot cappuccino (with a $10-dollar discount for the coffee as a meal deal).

          the cappuccino arrived first, with a heart.

           i dislike thin coffees.
          digressing a little, i had a flat white takeout last time from this same place which to my astonishment was rather disappointing because it was just... too thin (might be better if not takeout(?) - will try it next time). so i was anxious to taste this cappuccino again, hoping that it still deserved the crown, that i would not lose my favourite.
          and i am happy to say that the cappuccino was delectable (not sour but tinged with bitterness, and slightly strong in terms of its taste) and smooth as ever, which was when i realized the one thing that distinguished this cappuccino was the FOAM

           which was thick (enough to hold the sugar grains) and smooth. therefore when you drink it altogether, foam and coffee, it becomes a fine mix, thick enough and smooth.

          then came the spaghetti.

           it was my first time to have pasta at barista jam (sandwiches for all previous visits) and it was a very good experience: adequate portion, spaghetti was done exactly as i would want it (not too hard nor too soft), sauce was delicious (though a teeny bit too thin for my liking) and i love mushrooms.

          on the whole, the lunch solo was satisfying, and the cappuccino is still my favourite cappuccino in town.

          Other Info. : as a student, i look for plugs when i am in cafes which are the places where i would eat and charge my laptop and type notes and study. thought this might be helpful for fellow students so, there was [u]no plug on the ground floor[/u] of barista jam. (note to self: check out the first floor next time i visit). in fact, [u]one cannot study at barista jam[/u] because one time when i was there for lunch by myself and i took out my notes and highlighters and was just about to start studying, i was politely informed by the lad at the counter i mentioned above that studying was not allowed in the cafe - not that this makes the place less likable as a restaurant but one just reminds oneself that this is not a place for studying. :P

            It was a moist sponge cake with earl grey cream on top.
            All of us were indulged in the richness and the freshness of the taste of earl grey, and we unanimously agreed that this was the dessert of the day!

            It was named as 'Bitter choc brownie' in the display, but marked as 'Bitter choc mousse' on the receipt. I suppose the latter name was the appropriate one.
            Under the chocolate crisp, there was chocolate mousse.
            I think overall it was a bit too sweet; but it still had a good chocolate taste.
            It was one of my friends T's favourite.

            It looked quite similar to Bitter choc mousse (above), except that the chocolate crisp was in darker colour with sugar frosting.
            However its choc taste was overwhelmed by the sweetness of the icing sugar, and was not as rich as it appeared to be...
            Underneath the choc crisp, it was just a very ordinary black forest cake- nothing surprising.

             I just tried a bite of it.
            It was a sandwich-like chocolate with cream.
            There was a slice of cake in the middle layer, which was a bit... rough.

             Lovely latte art on my coffee mocha

            I could smell the choc- but I could not really taste it when I drank. But I still considered the coffee was nice.

            My friend C ordered vanilla choc. She said it had a rich vanilla taste- but only in the first few slips.
            My friend D ordered hazelnut choc. It had a good rich hazelnut flavour.

            Environment/ service
            Although we made a reservation for 4, it seemed that the waiter did not actually reserve a table for us.
            Given that there were no seats available on the ground floor, we went upstairs, where the ventilation was poor.
            We were fortunate enough that some customers left and we could get a seat on the ground floor later on.

            It was a nice quiet place with some soft music.
            Packages of coffee beans and accessories were neatly placed around the cafe.

            The waiters were friendly- but could be more helpful by giving us a more detailed description of coffee when we asked. After all, I suppose this was a cafe specializing in coffee/ espresso.

            Next?
            We spent an enjoyable afternoon here.
            The price was reasonable and the food and drinks were generally good.
            I would probably return for its Earl Grey Creme Brulee, and would like to try if there are some other non-choc desserts.

              I thought it was just me but a few customers from the takeout line did choose to wait outside (in the cold). I rest my case.

              Determined not to waste the trip we ordered take out - a latte and a bitter chocolate brownie. Latte was exceptional (as good as can be considering it was in a paper cup), but the brownie was too sweet and more form than function in my mind.

              I would return to try other coffee, but it'd be a better experience if only the kitchen is not behind the counter!

              Barista Jam is a Café located in Sheung Wan. You will definitely attracted to its design, it’s modern, looks different from the general Sheung Wan. The layout inside is not bad either, very warm and welcoming atmosphere! Point to take; once you see them how they cook, you will have no expectation on food. A stove that has no fire and a grill that does not has the sizzling effect. You must be joking. Cuisine: EuropeanFood rating: 3/10*Service: 4/10Ambiance: 5/10Price: HK$120pax* Food Rating: 6/10

              Beef sandwich (1/10)
              The beef was bland; the dressing wasn’t shared equally in the sandwich. To sum up, my friend was not a happy diner.

               Chicken mushroom Linguini with spinach and cream sauce (1/10)
              We have waited almost 20-30 minutes before the lunch was serving, hence we had high hope. Other than the Linguini was al dente, I really don’t know what was good. Everything was bland, the mushroom was grilled, but you don’t feel it was grilled, and there were no seasoning. The chicken was extremely bland, no seasoning. The sauce was okay, I can taste the spinach and creamy, lacked pepper. To sum up, I think a primary school kid would do a better seasoning than the Chef at Barista Jam.

               Earl Grey Cake (8/10)
              I understand you are under equipped, but all the dishes they cooked were lacked seasoning, that is absolutely ridiculous. Seriously, you need a new entrée Chef, if you can afford it, hire me, will do a much better job than he is.

               However, I will always come back for dessert, because the desserts were just sensational. It never disappoints you, always come with surprises. In my humble opinion, the desserts are better than something called Ritz Carlton - Café 103.

              Give me a thumbs up if you like it!
