I can't say I'm not happy seeing 18 Grams growing from a tiny coffee place, to a successful cafe chain with outlets located nearly all around town, in just a few short years. In fact it has come a long way.I'm not exactly a regular but whenever I'm in this part of CWB I'd come over for a quick shot of Piccolo Latte. I think 18 Grams is one of the first joints in HK to offer this Australian style coffee. It has the milkiness of a caffe latte but is more intense in the coffee component and what's

I think 18 Grams is one of the first joints in HK to offer this Australian style coffee. It has the milkiness of a caffe latte but is more intense in the coffee component and what's more, you don't have to fight for a seat in-store (of course it's great if you can since the tiny shop is nearly always packed) and get your shot down and go in less than 2 minutes.
They do serve food, in the form of all-day brunches and salads. Thanks to my dietary constraints I can just have salads 😨. Anyway this is the 18 Grams House Salad, consisting of mixed salad greens tossed in a honey balsamic dressing and some cherry tomatoes. (There's supposed to be marinated mushrooms but they ran out of stock of them today.)
Not my favorite kind of salad but suffice to say, it's wholesome and refreshing enough. In the background is a Long Black, aromatic and bold for a quick caffeine boost.
(Thankfully they're finally offering a new menu soon and I'm looking forward to some yummier changes...)
No cafe menu in the sweet-toothed HK is complete without some cakes. I'm not boring you with the usual cheesecakes and chocolate cakes, but my favourite is this Apple Bread, again an Aussie specialty.
It's got chunks of apple in it and served with whipped cream, and it is a great companion with coffee. I'd love to have it every day for brekkie! (Or maybe not, as I still have banana bread for rotation!)Either you need a cuppa on the go or some space for a lazy afternoon, 18 Grams is the place for you.
