Try the best wifi coffee shop in town

Hong Kong's answer to Starbucks, Pacific Coffee offers free Internet and more.

A favorite place to just hang-out with a laptop when the network works. (Like with most coffee shops, they have no clue, so when it's not working it's just not working.)

The ambiance is perhaps the best part about this place: big plush chairs, very high ceiling, huge windows (glass walls), lots of wood, spotlights, and relative spacious placement of furniture make it a very comfortable place. I think not too many know about it yet so it's not that busy, but I guess as Fortune Plaza fills up this will change.

Food is a bit better than Starbucks and SPR, not as good as Sequoia.

Service is excellent. The staff is very well trained, attentive, speak English, and although they may not be super barristas, they do know how to make a nice cup of coffee.

My only gripes are that they're not open on Sundays and close early on Saturday; all tables are too small to be suitable for meetings; and wifi access hasn't been super reliable.

Summary: In the same style as Starbucks and SPR, but better. Both of the other chains are in Fortune Plaza, so why don't you give them all a try and see for yourself.
