5 Hidden Café Gems in Yuen Long You Must Visit in 2025

Stepping into Kachimushi feels like entering a different world. This stunning two-story white house in Kam Tin, directly opposite the post office, has become an Instagram sensation since opening in 2022. The café's outdoor Japanese garden, complete with karesansui (dry landscape) featuring carefully arranged sand, stones, and plants, creates a zen atmosphere that's rare in Hong Kong.

Inside, tatami seating provides an authentic Japanese experience, with generous spacing between tables ensuring a relaxed, uncrowded atmosphere. The star of the menu is undoubtedly the Dutch Baby Pancake—a rare find that's crispy outside and soft inside, beautifully presented with powdered sugar. For savory lovers, the grilled Brie cheese with toast ($68) is a must-try, featuring perfectly crispy toast paired with smooth, melted Brie cheese.

For serious coffee enthusiasts, The Third is a pilgrimage destination. Established in 2025 on Kin Tak Street, this intimate café and roastery represents the new wave of specialty coffee in Hong Kong. With space for just 10-12 patrons, every visit feels personal and exclusive.

What sets The Third apart is their commitment to quality and variety. They feature a rotating selection of single-origin beans from Colombia, Ethiopia, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Brazil, processed using natural, washed, and anaerobic fermentation methods. As both a café and wholesale supplier, they roast their beans on-site, ensuring maximum freshness.

Beyond coffee, they offer traditional beverages, pastries, and pancakes. Their online shop makes it easy to bring their coffee home, with free shipping on Hong Kong orders over $300.

Find The Way transports you straight to a Showa-era Japanese kissaten (coffee shop). Located just 6 minutes from Long Ping MTR Station Exit B2, this café nails the authentic Japanese coffee shop aesthetic with a ramen shop-like layout that somehow perfectly suits its peaceful, cozy atmosphere.

The menu is a delightful mix of Japanese café classics: their signature Caramel Egg Pudding is silky smooth, while the Maple Syrup Pancakes are fluffy perfection. The Blue Orange Soda offers a refreshing twist, and the Lemon Pound Cake provides the perfect accompaniment to their carefully prepared coffee and tea.

The attention to detail in both the interior design and food preparation makes Find The Way feel like a genuine slice of Japan in Yuen Long.

For those seeking a more contemporary café experience, Hive Cafe at One North shopping complex offers a modern, clean setting with a focus on Western-style sandwiches and quality coffee. The café has carved out a niche with its emphasis on healthy food and drinks, complemented by a fitness component that reflects the wellness-conscious lifestyle of modern Hong Kong.

Hive represents the new generation of Yuen Long cafés—sleek, accessible, and catering to both dine-in customers and those grabbing takeaway. It's perfect for a quick lunch break or a post-shopping coffee.

Tucked away in the village area south of YOHO Mix, Days in the Sun Cafe embodies the neighborhood coffee shop ideal. This small, sunny café offers exactly what its name promises—a bright, warm space where locals and visitors can relax over quality coffee and light meals.

While it may not have the Instagram-worthy aesthetics of some other entries on this list, Days in the Sun excels at being a comfortable, unpretentious spot for everyday coffee enjoyment. It's the kind of place where regulars know each other by name, and the relaxed atmosphere makes it easy to spend an entire afternoon.
