Coffee holds a lot of importance to a lot of us. Whether as the perfect kick start to wake us up ahead of that morning zoom meeting with the team, or as a mid-afternoon pick me up when the lunchtime carbs start catching up with us, this caffeinated beverage is a lifesaver! We are lucky to live in a city with so many great cafes serving the best-quality brews for our enjoyment and indulgence. Just because we're staying in more as of late, this doesn't mean we can't enjoy our favourite cup of joe, because now many of our favourite coffee shops are delivering right to our doors!

Pause It
Pause It sources beans from Ethiopia and Colombia and its java tends to have a strong citrus aroma. As well as serving coffee with great flavour, the baristas here use natural colourings to spice up your coffee. The most spectacular looking, and our favourite, is the charcoal latte ($38), which has been a huge hit on Instagram already. Also noteworthy are the cafe's peppermint mocha ($38) and vanilla latte ($38). The best part is, all of these and more are available for delivery.
Ninetys
This Wan Chai favourite serves up Australian-style brunch food and some excellent lattes. A venture started by the first-runner up in the American world latte art championship, Ninetys keeps things simple and only brews up black, white, and filter coffee with only a few varieties. Either way, they're all seriously good. We recommend ordering an iced black ($32), or an iced white ($42) to go along with all-day treats like avocado toast ($108) or Okinawan pork char siu ($162). This way you can beat the summer heat from the comfort of home.

Kaffeine
This solid addition to Sheung Wan's already stellar coffee scene sits on Jervois Street. For those that want a great cup of joe brought to them, look no further. A hot latte runs for $40 and a cold one for $44. If you're wanting a buzz to go along with their caffeine fix, you can't go wrong with the cafe's signature iced Bailey's mocha ($60). The food is good at Kaffeine, and, although their delivery menu has many options, we recommend keeping it simple with your coffee, and getting the fresh-from-the-oven bread with jam ($58) to complement your cup.

We recommend keeping it simple and order the espresso ($24), the latte ($34), or the black sesame ($42). Let the quality beans do the talking.
