這篇食評，寫了良久，想好好的把它完成之時，就被告知他們會光榮結業——五月十七日，不知道何時何地才能夠與這可愛兔子團聚。這間全城我最喜愛的咖啡店結業後，又得開始新一輪的尋尋覓覓，好不期待呢～ 以下是一個月前寫的食評但遲遲未post，希望為自己最喜歡的咖啡店留下最後的點滴。
Rabbithole will be closing on May 17, 2015. Heartbreaking but Carly truly hopes that it will not be forever, hope that the rabbit disappears around the corner and will come hoping back before you know it!______________________________
好吧，容許我說一句，近期喝太多咖啡了。上環，中環，灣仔，去到銅鑼灣都有幾十間咖啡店試到你不想再試，Carly去過很多間，太多間，Rabbithole的flat white是她全城最愛。第一次光顧，那一天午飯時間無多，但肚子非常餓，加上咖啡癮起，偶然的機會就跳進了這兔子洞，驚喜萬分。果然是一個洞，沒有錯，內部裝潢暗暗，微黃泛橙紅的烏絲燈泡從天花板吊掛在食客的頭頂，自然木色的五張長檯，配上黑色鐵造的高腳凳。
色調冷冷的，但這裡的咖啡沖調師都十分友善，會詳盡介紹不同調配的咖啡豆有何不同。Carly前後去了數次（無數次，哈），咖啡水準很穩定，奶泡打得尤其綿滑濃香，咖啡豆烘焙出色有性格。最與別不同的是，雖然Pura牛奶經已絕跡香港，Rabbithole仍是堅持用上來至澳洲的牛奶，奶味自然味醇香滑，奶泡沖出來亦不會太薄身，Coco Espresso, Barista Jam, Coffee Academics, Fuel都是用Meiji的牛奶，奶味亦不俗，但就是沒人個人之處，不能彰顯咖啡店本身的個性。
Carly愛上這兔子洞的格調，最重要是一杯令人稱心滿意的咖啡，味道、香氣歷久不散，難以忘懷。
First time visiting Rabbithole and read some reviews on Openrice and realized that the place has been above average but not exceptionally good. Coffee is something personal, some people like strong coffee, some like them mild, some focuses on the aftertaste, some on the aroma. Nonetheless, a cup of delish will bring you unforgettable memories and is often considered as one’s peace state of mind. You will quickly relate Rabbithole’s story with the famous childhood tale Alice in the Wonderland – Alice followed the mysterious rabbit and entered a land of fantasy and charms.
To top that off, Rabbithole’s interior design was one of the darkish tones, wooden texture, high tables and black colored metal stools. Vintage orange light bulbs stylishly hanging from the ceiling, not too bright, just enough for you to take a close look at your cup of coffee or whatever magazine you are reading. Baristas and staff are very warm welcoming and friendly, willing to explain into details on the differences between house and specialty blends. Expats and white collars that need to grab a quick bite or caffeine rush flocked into the little store, the Rabbithole suddenly went all bustled and jollied with people who wanted to escape from the busy life they have outside. Hop in!
【Flat White – Brazil Single Origin | HKD42】They ran out of their specialty blends that day when Carly first visited, she picked a cup of Flat White – single origin coffee beans from Brazil. Fragrant aroma was stunning and very pleasant; Brazil beans are renowned for their scent but not aftertaste so this cup of Flat White lacked much of that. By the time Carly finished this cup of heaven, she realized that there was something different, out of all the flat whites she had in Hong Kong, Rabbithole’s milky velvety flat white never let her down. Carly admired how Rabbithole was very consistent and down to earth with their quality for what they are offering to the table - wide-range selection from mid to full roast espresso blends. Liked how the ones from Indonesia were honey like sweet, slightly bitter and earthy in taste.
一杯奶香咖啡永遠都那麼稱心如意，就是有一個星期沒喝到Rabbithole的咖啡會很傷心，還記得第一次試的巴西的咖啡豆，咖啡味不苦澀，帶點輕微的回甘，花香氣較重，少少甜，喝後令人心曠神怡。
【Flat White – White Rabbit Blend & Black Rabbit Espresso Blend】Carly’s second visit was a reassurance of excellent coffee was served at RabbitHole consistently. Black Rabbit Espresso blend has a rich dark chocolate sweetness, extremely nutty and buttery flavor, sugar cane like finish has captured the heart of Carly like no other cafe has done so and it will be a mission impossible to find another blend that has the same intense level of nutty aroma and roast level. White Rabbit blend has a simpler taste with a hint of lemon zest finish and biscuit like sugary level, at the same time, very well-balanced and mind-soothing on the palate.
在一個週日午膳的繁忙時間，RabbitHole的Barista依然用心，一絲不苟的拉出如此令人心動的拉花，真心值得一讚。Carly還特意道謝了Barista的拉花。第二、三次光顧Rabbithole後，Carly已確定自己愛上了這咖啡店。
【Korean BBQ Beef Sandwich| HKD55】Available during weekday lunch!
【Smoked Duck Breast with Red Wine Sauce Sandwich|HKD55】Available during weekday lunch!
Funny thing was – Carly wasn't planning to pay Rabbithole another visit so soon but she took a quick stroll around the streets – recently nominated Empress Cafe – roast level of their espresso blends were not bad, full bodied yet lacked character, newly opened COO Bakery and Cafe – yet to try that out, Barista Contest Runner-up Cupping Room – stronger character in terms of aftertaste and floral notes, American/New Zealand style Veygo Cafe – relatively bland taste of house blend, and Coffee Academics – too much milk for the cup of flat white Carly drank and roast level was not as profound as Fuel - blossoming in Hong Kong. Carly gives her vote of top 3 to Rabbithole, Fuel, and Coco Espresso.
Bye bye for now! Carly will be hopping around before the perfect rabbit comes along in the near future, never say never, never say goodbye!
