What is 半路 Halfway ?

係中西合璧嘅一半、開底咖啡手把嘅一半,最重要係路途上嘅一半,希望遊客行到一半駐腳,可以分享到我鍾意嘅嘢,同埋得到休息

Where East meets West

Where Portafilter is twisted to make a coffee

Where you can stop by and get some rest

中西合璧-當咖啡遇上中式瓷杯 | Vintage Chinese porcelain cup meets Coffee

懷舊的裝修和精巧細緻的瓷杯吸引不少外國旅客打卡和朝聖。店主在香港摩羅街和深水埗老店搜羅復古瓷杯,務求令客人除了品嘗咖啡以外,也能欣賞中國傳統的工藝,細味每隻瓷杯獨特的紋理。

Nostalgic decoration and intricate porcelain cups attract many foreign travelers to go on a pilgrimage.

The owner purchases porcelain cups from Upper Lascar Row(Cat Street)and Sham Shui Po in Hong Kong. In addition to the tasty coffee, it also allows guests to get to know the traditional Chinese craftsmanship, and appreciate the texture of each unique porcelain cups.

收銀的方法也很傳統,仿效舊時街市一拉一放的錢筒,先拉錢筒下來進行找贖,取完錢之後放手錢筒又懸掛回高處。

Their cashier method is a traditional one as well, they pay homage to the traditional local market — use plastic bucket as cashier. They will pull the string to get the plastic bucket down for money collection, afterwards releases the string, and it will return back to the top.

店內會擺放關於舊香港的書籍和社區地圖,但店內同店外座位不算多,即使是平日也有機會滿座,早少少黎「半路」停底 Chill 下。如果已經滿座,它們的外賣咖啡杯也不會令你失望。

Books about the old Hong Kong and community maps can be found inside the store. Yet there are not many seats inside or outside the store, sometimes it will be full-house even on weekdays. Thus, wake up earlier and stop at the ‘halfway’ to enjoy a sip of coffee.

P.S. If it is full already, its vintage take-away cup will not disappoint you as well.
