Ask HN: Good coffee shops to work out of in Hong Kong

2 points by bsudekum 10y ago ↗ HN

I'm going to be working remotely for the next five days in Hong Kong. Could anyone recommend any good coffee shops to work out of for the day? Decent wifi/outlets/coffee needed.

Also if anyone wants to meet up and talk maps/node/react(native), I'm down. I'm @bobws on twitter and an engineer at @Mapbox.

Hey there,

You can use your (USA) bank card at a lot of bank ATMS.

All the McDonalds in HK have free WiFi. Carry cash with you.

Festival Walk Mall in Kowloon Tong, big food court with free wifi.

Starbucks have free wifi printed on their receipts in HK and throughout China at large.

If you don't need a lot of data I really recommend PCCW's "8 day pass" sim cards. You get 5GB of traffic for 118 HK$. Has decent LTE coverage, was getting up to 40mbps.
