The Coffee Academics (耀華街) (已結業)

週末，與朋友在銅鑼灣找個地方可以慢慢坐、hea一下。這時我們想起Times Square後面耀華街的 The Coffee Academics。這裡裝修型格，雖然枱與枱之間逼了一點，但好在樓底夠高，不會太壓逼，在銅鑼灣鬧市來說都算幾好坐。這日我們都想食點肉，於是我選了份pulled pork sandwich ($98)，跟curly fries。而朋友就選了coffee & coke beef stew($138)。Pulled pork sandwich的手撕豬肉好入味，醬汁微辣，惹味非常，況且份量都頗多，伴著香脆法包、牛油果和沙律菜，吃得開心。Curly fries卷卷薯條炸得香脆不油膩，讓我們食不停口。朋友的coffee & coke beef stew我亦食了一點。牛肉肉質軟腍，味道甜濃，不過就食不出咖啡和可樂的味道。 其實我們食完主食都有點飽，不過面對這麼吸引的蛋糕，我們還是忍不住出去揀返件。 我選的是榛子芝士蛋糕 ($42)，蛋糕有甜甜芝士香，如果質感能再濕潤些就更理想。Latte ($38)的奶泡打得細滑，咖啡香濃，飲得舒服。就這樣與朋友輕輕鬆鬆嘆了個long lu

灣仔的分店令我頗失望, 今次路經銅纙灣, 故進內一試, 但... 一樣失望。同行的友伴點Ice Drip TCA Blend House, 我則點了hot Classico No.3, 兩者同是coffee review得高分的, 但味道強差人意, 自己在家brew的咖啡比這裡的還要好。味淡, 毫不impressive, 仿佛溝了很多水, 勁失望!

先前，上司出席了《The Coffee Academics》灣仔店的開幕活動，跟我說了這一個學堂有什麼什麼好。過了幾星期的這一天，我們於中午想不起要吃什麼來，沒有目的地向銅鑼灣方向出發，在鵝頸橋橋底，上司突然想起了《The Coffee Academics》在耀華街的店，難得大家有興趣一試，我們就決定來這一個咖啡學堂，品味午餐也品味咖啡。是日的天氣不太熱，我們選擇坐在露天的位置。雖然，露天的坐位就在馬路旁，但由於耀華街算是一條比較少車出出入入的街道，再加上有一列車長期泊在路邊，令用餐的地方與行駛中的車再多隔一行，在這一個露天位坐，新鮮空氣未必有，但汽車廢氣的確是不多。是日的餐湯，就是賣相同味道都同罐頭湯一樣的粟米忌廉湯。不過，這一種濃濃烈烈的粟米清甜，不是一般罐頭湯所能出現的，這粟米，帶有濃郁的甜味，整個湯亦充滿了粟米粒，完完全全的香甜可口。是日我們點下的餐，感覺有點像墨西哥式食品，因為大家點下的食物，都是配以薄餅來食的，我們叫的其中一個是《Sizzling Tenderloin Taco(墨西哥式牛柳夾餅)》。感覺上，墨西哥的食品同印巴的食品有大大的相同之處，同樣地喜歡辣，同樣喜歡以

入到去有d混亂，我地三個都唔知係self serve 或有人帶枱,staff見我地咁lost就叫我地等陣就安排我地坐下。環境及衛生：好鐘意個feel。 古古舊舊咁，氣氛好，晚上還會點燭火，會幾浪漫特別係個大吊燈！肉眼見得到嘅地方衛生似乎ok, 但燈光暗,所以就算唔乾淨都未必會留意到。服務：服務麻麻 幫我地落單嘅人聽唔淸我地個order，有d混亂。朋友個tea set想轉飲朱古力，點知加錢都唔得，唯有再睇menu決定，飲品後叫。點知埋單時發現計錯數 ，杯後叫嘅飲品被誤會為散叫，要叫佢地改。我地個order又唔係複雜，唔明點解會搞到咁麻煩。之後，叫佢地拎嘢黎都慢吞吞。味道：三個人order咗三份tea set($68) 加一份三文治。1. Canelé de Bordeaux: 普通，外面煙韌，入面夠軟，雪糕ok。以上嘅係跟餐嘅Misto。唔錯，但加奶好飲d。2. Pear Charlotte: okay. Cake 夠spongy,又唔會太甜，不過本人唔太喜歡有生果係食物入面。3. Sachertorte: 一個唔夠朱古力味嘅朱古力蛋糕。食落好厚，唔係太好食。4.Kimchesse (

這夜與朋友在銅鑼灣食完晚飯後想在附近再找個地方坐坐，想起耀華街的The Coffee Academics。店內裝修型格，氣氛輕鬆。店內樓底很高，以本地咖啡館來說，規模算大。不過到底是銅鑼灣，座位安排有點逼，輕易可聽到隔離枱的對話。 我們來杯classico no.3冰滴咖啡($58)。咖啡用酒杯上，就讓我們這夜以啡代酒吧！Cheers! 這款咖啡帶點甜和淡淡果香，飲起來頗清新 ，好飲。其實一踏進咖啡館，我們已經被那門前蛋糕櫃內的各式各樣蛋糕吸引著。於是我們亦選了2款蛋糕share。Caramel and coffee mousse cake($42)，焦糖的甜度太搶，把咖啡的香蓋過了。除了味道外，蛋糕質感有點偏濕，很一般。Uji matcha cake($42)，蛋糕質感鬆軟，抹茶味頗香濃，中間更夾了層朱古力，我們相對較喜歡這款蛋糕。

The Coffee Academics is an unique coffee shop that's tucked away in a more quiet area of Causeway Bay. After a quick shopping spree, I wanted to find somewhere with good quality coffee and not your typical cup of joe. Coffee Academics popped up in my head since I heard they roast their own coffee beans on the spot. The store has a very interesting set up, with an open balcony sitting on one side, and then community tables in the middle. Then a couple more small tables on the other side of the st

Stepping into The Coffee Academics in Causeway Bay, you will not believe you're in one of the busiest districts in one of the most populated cities. The outdoor patio area is perfect for a cool summer day, if it weren't for the rain. Also worth mentioning is the service. You may be accustomed to being yelled at by waiters/waitresses for not making up your mind on what you want as soon as you take your seat. Why of course, they want to take your order immediately, serve your food and make sure yo

在個多月前買了陳豪的品味咖啡2書仔，今天終於都有機會去試一試書中介紹的coffee shop 了^0^自己本身對咖啡完全無認識，純粹鐘意飲，所以就跟住書裏面介紹的第一間開始啦。一入到coffee academics，感覺很似initial的格調，有d似酒吧多於coffee shop。坐底之後睇下menu的drink list，果然有很多都唔知咩。一心係要來試書中講的精品咖啡，見到clever cup這個咁有趣的名子，就膽粗粗叫了一杯。揀左clever cup 的第一款(雖然我都唔知係咩-___-)。等左一陣，咖啡來了，都幾有趣的設計: 一個有cover的膠杯裏面泡住d 咖啡再加一個沙漏時計。waiter 告訴我等沙漏漏完後就將個膠杯放上我飲用的杯上。等...等...等...十分期待，終於夠鐘。放上去後，d 咖啡自動流落去! wookaka : )) 我要飲咖啡了! 第一口的精品咖啡，感覺不算太濃，有一點點酸味。唔知係唔係自己過份抱有期望，覺得沒有什麼太特別。由於一杯的份量唔多，很快就飲完。ooooh 原來佢有設最低消費...一杯咖啡不夠...被迫叫多一件蛋糕。(一杯咖啡已經唔平, 成四

早前與朋友在銅鑼灣吃過飯後來到時代廣場後面的The Coffee Academics吃吃甜品。想不到以出名貴租的銅鑼灣地段會有間如此空間感足和高樓底的這咖啡店。店內裝修頗型格，氣氛又輕鬆，很適合聚會、聊天。店內有多款咖啡沖調工具，甚至更有一部大大台的炒豆機，看來這店除了有舒適裝修的外表，亦大概會有專業咖啡的內涵呢。這裡到底是間咖啡店，menu以輕食為主款式相對簡單，有沙律，三文治，少量熱食和當然少不了的甜品。由於我們已吃過飯了，目標自然是甜品。蛋糕可自行到靠入口的蛋糕櫃看看當日有什麼選擇。咖啡我選了杯熱latte，(＄38, 小)。咖啡喝來濃香帶點回甘，奶泡打得細密香滑，喝得舒服，不錯。Carrot cake是我最愛吃的蛋糕之一。開心發現原來這裡這carrot walnut cake(＄48)做得不錯，質感夠濕潤又軟軟。蛋糕內的蘿蔔絲頗多，加了脆脆核桃粒更香，亦增加了食感。好吃！另外我們亦share了件New York cheesecake ($42)。這芝士蛋糕亦做得不錯，濃滑之餘又不會過甜過膩。我們在這裡輕鬆愉快地過了一個晚上。整體來說，這裡的環境，食物和咖啡，及店員的有禮服務態度

As part of the Habitu group, I wasn't expecting the food here to be spectacular. But with a sister restaurant just upstairs called The Food "Academics" and a minimum spending (think it was around $80 per person...) that more or less insist you order food with your coffee, I didn't expect to be so disappointed with our lunch.We ordered a shrimp and peach salad, lobster bisque, chicken quesadillas. Let me start with the salad -- for the $70-80 I paid, all I got was some romain lettuce, tasteless s

I read on magazine that this is one of the most promising coffee house established by a local Hong Kong. As a coffee lover, this is great news and I wanted to show support . I had convinced my family to go with me this afternoon...At 3pm Sunday afternoon, people were lining up waiting to be seated. I went in to ask if I should leave my name for the wait... In return I received a cold instructions by a stone-faced waitress that i should just stand at the back. Wow, what an attitude.10 Mins later,

午餐過後，時間尚早，與下一個安排還有兩、三個小時的差距，只好在銅鑼灣各大商場、店子遊走。一向不太愛逛店，走了一會便感乏味！腦子一晃，想起 "卡卡" 前天 Whatsapp 過來的咖啡照片。與其漫無目的地四處遊蕩，不如大膽地模仿十幾萬月薪中產的生活方式 - 飲一下咖啡吧！立即轉向，到耀華街進發，之前還未有機會一睹 Coffee Academics 的風采。遠遠便看到人龍，近入口處張貼了通告，復活節假期延長服務時間至凌晨二時，似乎熱潮還未退減，只好跟著隊伍，耐心等待。玻璃上亦貼有每人最低消費 $70大元的標示，在此前設下仍有不斷的擁戴者前來，大概不會通通如我都是第一次嘗試吧！這反映什麼？應該是受歡迎的程度吧！坐在這半開放式座位的3位女士剛好結帳，給侍應知會一聲，可是15分鐘後，三位女士仍留在座位上，原來還未完成找贖。Coffee Academics 的紅磚牆，燭台吊燈，滲著歐陸學院的味道。戶外半開放式的座位，木檯、吊扇及地磚也不失古樸雅意，不過氣氛則較室內更為輕鬆、自然！落單後，侍應送來了黃糖，放在玻璃瓶內，簡單又精緻，不知怎的，特別喜歡它。老公選了蛋糕與咖啡的一人套餐，咖啡不可選擇，限定

朋友今日叫左個MACAROON SET， 5件唔同味～係細SIZE GE~~平時唔鍾意食MACAROON GE我都食左粒~~味道唔錯~唔太甜~COFFE叫左同MANUKA咖啡, 我覺得太甜~~不過味道都OK我自已唔鍾意飲太啃GE 咖啡， 所以冇揀佢地招牌GE ACADEMIC， 但朋友係每朝無齌啡不歡的，所以梗係試下佢話味道好香，用沙漏計時先可以飲，更添書卷味～整體賣相很DECENT

The place has nice decor. But is that onlone good enough?It was around 3:30 pm when I dropped in for a coffee. The place was half full, not too busy. When I was looking at the menu, I noticed the minimum charge of $70, which meant I had to order something to go with the coffee, or order two coffees, or be stupid and pay $70 for one cup of coffee. I ordered a capaccino and 5 pieces of sweets (macarons and chocolates). Sweets arrived first, followed by the coffee in couple minutes. Chocolates were
