[2025 Hong Kong Restaurant] Travel Guide for Kam Wah Cafe (Updated Mar)

Kam Wah Cafe is located at 45-47 Bute Street, Mongkok, and is open daily from 0630-2100. It is around 4 minutes 300 meters from both Mong Kok and Prince Edward Mrt station. Kam Wah Cafe can be easily spotted due to the crowds outside the restaurant taking away the delicious Polo Bun and other pastries. The Polo Bun here is crispy, best to go with a hot milk tea. They also serve main dishes like stir fried beef rice noodle, yangzhou fried rice and many more.

Kam Wah Café is one of the oldest traditional coffeeshops in Hong Kong, famous among both locals and tourists. It is well known for its freshly baked Polo (Pineapple) Bun. The skin was super crispy, tasted heavenly with the cold butter inside. You can see people buy in bulk. It was named Pineapple Bun because of its look, there was no pineapple inside. For drinks, it is a must to try their Yuan Yang (coffee mixed with tea), smooth and full of aroma. Perfect match with the bun. Their egg tart is very tasty too. The price is reasonable. Highly recommended.

How can you come to Hong Kong and not experience the most authentic ice hall? We chose to visit Jinhua Ice Hall located at Prince Edward Station. As soon as we entered the store, we were attracted by the award-winning poster 🏆 French toast. Of course, we ordered one right away, and also ordered a pineapple bun, and a cup of hot Hong Kong milk per person as a minimum consumption in the store. The slightly warm pineapple bread crust just out of the oven exudes a creamy aroma, the bread itself is soft and crispy on the surface, and the heat melts the thick slice of icy salted butter in the middle, it's super delicious😋. French toast is made of toast dipped in egg liquid and fried, with butter and peanut butter in the middle, topped with cream and drizzled with honey. You can smell the aroma of egg and frying when you bite it. The heat is just right with the honey, cream and peanut butter, creating an unforgettable taste. The Hong Kong milk has a stronger tea flavor. I like to add a little bit of sugar, which makes it less astringent for me. However, it is quite refreshing when paired with pineapple buns and French toast. In the slightly cool weather, it is quite a blessing to start the day with high-calorie food! #HongKong #HongKongFood #HongKongTravel #hong_kong #GoodDestinations2025 in February

I don't know why so many people say they are not good, I just want to say that you are not used to it! 🍍Pineapple Bun This is my favorite place to go since I was a child, especially for the pineapple buns! The pineapple buns are super fresh, and the crust is very fragrant, with a piece of Anchor butter, it is really delicious! 🍛Curry Chicken Chop with Instant Noodles The taste is relatively strong, the curry is salty and slightly spicy, the chicken chop is very large, and the meat is tender. With a large slice of cheese, it is really satisfying. 🐷Secret Pork Soft Bone Rice The portion is very large, and the cost performance is very high! There are many pieces of pork soft bone, the pork is very soft and tender, the meat is very tasty and not very salty, and the pork soft bone is very crispy. This is good. 🎫Only accepts Hong Kong dollar cash or Octopus card 🏠: Kam Wah Cafe 📝Ps, if you go too late, the pineapple buns will be sold out soon. So the pineapple buns are very fresh, and the pineapple buns will be even better! ✅In addition, many people now say that the Kam Wah Cafe with a big red sign and a bigger golden door is fake, please don't come out and expose it, they are two shops, but the font is not the same as before.

#myhiddengems Kam Wah Cafe is a no-frills, old-school Hong Kong-style breakfast spot, or cha chaan teng, famous for its pineapple bun (ba lo bao). Since 1973, this institution in Hong Kong has been serving what some consider the best pineapple bun in Hong Kong. A pineapple bun should be hot outside but with cold butter inside. (To be clear, it’s a sweet bun with no pineapples in the bun!!)The bun is freshly made. Pair it with HK milk tea, and you will have the most typical HK breakfast 😋 I also ordered the fried instant noodles that came in big size and delicious! #hongkongtravelguide #hongkong #deliciousfood

Once yesterday, once today, traveled back and forth between Admiralty, Wong Chuk Hang, Kim Yip Road, Yue Kwong Road, then walked from Prince Edward Station to Mong Kok East, Prince Edward Road, Sai Yee Street, then to Bute Street, Kam Wah Ice House... It was just that the interior of the Yuen Long Ice House that the two of us missed was under maintenance, so we couldn't eat there, so we checked in at the popular Kam Wah Ice House nearby! Finally I got to eat the company's sandwich toasted bottom, and the most popular pineapple buns - Hong Kong people call them pineapple buns, although they were not hot out of the oven, I licked them on the tip of my tongue, yes! It is the taste that I have been dreaming about for four years... Delicious!

Nice food at Kam Wah! Milk tea and lemon tea is good with slight tea aftertaste that I like! The polo bun with butter is also really hot and nice! The coconut bun was also really great and yummy! There are morning and tea time set meals for those that want slight discounts! However, there are always long queues so one needs to be patient and wait! Pls be warned! You may need to queue but it moves pretty fast too!

Kam Wah Cafe is located around Mong Kok MTR. Take exit B3, turn left, walk a block down and turn right. It’s located at 45-47 Bute Street. The whole cafe is famous for the kind of milk and cream that they use for all of their dishes! They even have pictures of cattle at the farms they get the milk from. And if you’re a big fan of dairy in general, you’re going to love this place. From the butter used on their french toast to the milk they add into their milk tea, it is all an enjoyable time. This place is particularly popular with the locals. We went in during tea time but the place was still filled with people having a snack, late lunch or early dinner. The cafe culture in HK is so different from what you’d expect if you come from places like Singapore, Australia or the States. Recommendation for this place: Order the milk tea when you’re here. Soak in the bustling vibes of the cafe. #wecreate #urbanexplorer #foodie #cafe #hongkong
