Causeway Bay doesn't have a lot of independent coffee shops. It's not the Sheung Wan area after all. But this is a new place that has opened up.Brew Crew, originally from Kwun Tong, has opened up a spot inside Tower 533.

Brew Crew, originally from Kwun Tong, has opened up a spot inside Tower 533. Fitting as their other shop is located inside an office building and their new shop in Admiralty is as well.
It's a take away counter so there is no 10% service charge. However, they do have a very limited amount of seats that mostly consist of the coffee bar.
Along with coffee, they also have sandwiches and cookies. Things commonly found in a coffee shop.
I decided to have a sandwich and coffee for lunch.Sandwich was something they called "Black Pearl". The name is just plain stupid but it's a tuna sandwich in a squid ink bread. It's half a sandwich and costs $25. They reheat it for you as it's in the fridge. There was a lot of filing and it was pretty good. The bread was actually sweet and didn't have the strange fishy taste of squid that is sometimes found whenever squid ink is used. The tuna was generously seasoned and moist from the mayo added. A pretty good sandwich.
I ordered a latte ($32) as it's my usual coffee of choice when testing out a new place. Latte art was beautiful. The amount of foam was not too much and quite perfect. The ratio of milk to coffee was just right so I could taste the strong nuttiness of the coffee. The milk was a good temperature. This was a smooth tasting coffee.
Excellent coffee in a quiet space. I will be back.
