Ease Cafe

When you’re gazing out over the Mong Kok and Kowloon skyline from the 25th floor of the Golden Era Plaza building it’s easy to imagine yourself adopting your mecha form and rocketing across Hong Kong to do battle with a monster from the deep or alien invasion force. It’s even easier when you’ve been spending the afternoon reading one of a collection of more than 6,000 manga and comix. That’s what you’re in for when you make your way up – and up, and up – from Sai Yee Street to Ease Cafe, a space once occupied by a comic book store whose cache of comix was left behind when it closed years ago. Owner Nolan Ng Nai-kung has kept the books but transformed the space into a fantastic, comfortably furnished cafe offering all-day breakfasts, Italian pasta dishes, beverages and more. Kick off your shoes, find a spot to lounge in and indulge both your appetite and your imagination.
