Yo Bago
Canadian restaurant Yo Bago has dedicated itself to the art of the bagel, with mouth-watering creations that will easily tide you over until lunchtime. Located on the upper level of a quiet street near One Island East, Yo Bago’s Rise 'n Shine breakfast combo features either a classic cream cheese bagel or a ham, egg and cheese bagel with a piping hot cup of Canadian-style coffee.

Nutsy Coffee Bar
It’s not hard to fall head over heels for Nutsy Coffee Bar, created to bring a taste of Australia’s beloved coffee culture to Hong Kong. The indie favourite delivers quality hand-dripped coffees using Redback beans at comparable prices. Opt for some toasted hot cross buns spread with creamy butter, and you'll be sufficiently charged for action.

Sheng Kee Congee
If you have flexible working hours and fancy a late but local Hong Kong breakfast, head to this favoured tea house chain after 11am for a steaming bowl of fresh congee. Best known for its beef and carp congee served with chopped spring onion and ginger, you should order up a side dish of crunchy fried dipping bread to ramp up the substance and lip smacking. Make sure you get there early to grab a seat as it fills up quickly.
