Hon Kee Cafe Coloane is located in a quiet little back street of Lai Chi Wun Village in Coloane, near the old shipbuilding yards. Hon Kee Cafe is a very special coffee spot in Macau and populated by loyal locals. They have their own unique way of making a cup of coffee—using regular instant coffee powder and mixing it with some sugar and hot water first before grinding it and adding more water, resulting in a really smooth textured coffee.
Besides their signature coffee, Hon Kee Cafe Coloane delivers high-quality simple food that is sought after by both locals and tourists, as the restaurant is included in a series of guides. Hon Kee Cafe’s preferred foods are soup noodles with egg and meat, sweet and savory sandwiches, but also bites.
Hon Kee Cafe in Coloane Village is a sought-after venue, especially amongst locals and tourists who search for good coffee spots in Macau.
