Lex Coffee
Kennedy Town is a thriving community on the edge of Hong Kong's Western District that has undergone substantial gentrification, replete with trendy restaurants, bars and cafés. Perhaps none is more eclectic than Lex Coffee, an airy café that combines a passion for Andy Warhol pop art , an enlightened coffee culture, and delicious food into a unique space for art and coffee lovers alike.
Upon entry, the décor of Lex Coffee is dominated by art – Andy Warhol's famous paintings printed on skateboards, standalone paintings, and art objects and art books on display. Art is fully infused throughout the café, including the coffee it serves. Specifically, through the use of a 3D coffee art printer, you can order a cup of Artsy Print Coffee ($88) with a choice of masterpiece paintings printed on the surface – we opted for Starry Night by Vincent Van Gough – the image quality is high and the image lasts for a good while.
The extensive menu is also attractive. Lex Coffee serves a Lunch Special that includes Soup of the Day with Toast or Caesar Salad, an entrée choice of Baby Spinach & Pumpkin Risotto ($138), Smoky Turkey Quesadilla with Mexican Salad (which we chose) and Grilled Salmon with Grapes Salsa ($168), plus a choice of hot Americano Coffee or Honey Lime drink.
We also chose two other entrees: Lobster Risotto ($198), which was appetising, and the 10oz Angus Prime Rib Eye ($218), which is good and reasonably priced.
Lex Coffee is also offering an Artsy Afternoon Tea ($396 for two, 3 to 6pm Monday to Friday), in which savoury items, scones and sweet treats are served on a skateboard decorated with a colourful flower design.
Lex Coffee is such a neat place to visit, where you can experience art, coffee culture and fine food all in a pleasant setting. It’s perfect for lunch or whiling a leisurely afternoon away. Do give it a try.
