Third wave coffee is all the rage, at least in California and other parts of the USA. Some of the overrated and overhyped places get a lot of hipster love as well, because it is cool to visit and drink the type of coffee where they place emphasis on where the beans come from and the roasting/brewing process. While some are good, there are those that adopt that attitude, and the results do not shine in the very end.So I had a little chuckle when someone called Coffee Academics "HK hipster" coffee

A friend visited here and took some really good pictures, and recommended this place to us.
Unfortunately we did not share the same love.
Bottom line, the cakes/pastries were very good. The matcha square cake was probably close enough to Salon de The (Robuchon) quality.
The coffee however, left a whole lot to be desired. Particularly the Chemex and the Ice Drip.
There was emphasis in those "single point of origin" and kind of beans they used. But in the end they both tasted rather weak. I've had stronger tasting Kyoto style drip, and cold brew coffees abroad. So not sure what is the issue that lead to this quality.
They offer free WiFi in here for customers, but unfortunately for my iPhone 6, the signal kept coming and going.
