1. Oddies Foodies

Oddies Foodies has been delighting Hong Kong with its innovative dessert creations since the beginning with the Night Wolf - a dark chocolate twist gelato combined with chocolate chip eggettes. The new shop in Central has even more gelato to choose from with 12 kinds of interesting flavors and the latest "dramacone" series (giant ice cream cones) are sure to be a hit with the cameras!

2. Via Tokyo 

Via Tokyo is not the only shop in town serving Japanese flavored ice cream but has stood out from competition with its consistent quality and reasonable prices. Besides the signature matcha soft serve, other limited time only flavors like houjicha, royal milk tea and sesame are huge hits as well. There is almost always a queue at Via Tokyo but here's a tip - walk past the lines for sit-in and get your ice cream to go!

4. Nakamura Tokichi 

Japanese dessert lovers will not be unfamiliar with Nakamura Tokichi (a renowned tea house from Kyoto) and one of the most sought-after item here is the warabimochi while other desserts like its soft service, maruto parfait and kakigori are also wildly popular. Besides desserts, the cafe also offers savory dishes like matcha udon noodles so you can satisfy your matcha craving all in one go!

5. Lady M

Lady M has built quite a strong following with its fresh handmade cakes in New York, Los Angeles and even in Asia, so it came as no surprise when the cake shop generated long queues in Hong Kong when it first opened (which has since been alleviated by an online ordering system). Prices may not be cheap but the high quality of the cakes is worth the splurge and the Mille Crepes with its paper-thin layers are to die for!

Elephant Grounds is best known for its seductive ice cream sandwich flavors that changes weekly but they have wide offerings in coffee and savory food as well at the Wong Chuk Hang and Causeway Bay branches. Aside from ice cream sandwiches, ice cream by itself is also available at the CWB branch and my favorite is the Thai ice tea flavor!
