coloring books, crayons, and babyccinos, the wee ones will stay
entertained while you get your caffeine fix! Prepare to perk up with java joints, coffee clubs, and hidden roasting shops with the Little Steps guide to kid-friendly coffee hangouts in Hong Kong. Sip, slurp...smile!

still bold espressos and creamy lattes. Everyone will love the
delicious cakes and baked goodies from J’aime Bien Patisserie. Plus, kids will be wowed by the numerous contraptions, such as a bean roaster and the Marco Über Boiler that looks more like a Mad Scientist’s lab than a coffee maker!
