Island Workbench

A popular Japanese style cafe in Cheung Chau, it’s cozy and bright among the old style local lane so very out stood. We came on weekday but still had to wait a bit. There are indoor and outdoor area to choose from. It serves both main meal and dessert, both look fantastic! We had a caramel custard (egg) pudding and two sodas. The egg pudding was lovely, with whip cream and strawberry on top, very girly cutie look! Soft and smooth! The sodas were good refresher after our walk on the island under the sun. We had the sugared lemon soda and sugared strawberry one. Think the strawberry one was a bit too sweet, but i appreciate it’s their homemade sugared fresh fruits. They have another sister shop of merchandises on the other side of the island, worths to pay a visit too.

Cute cafe at Cheung Chau island. Very nice desserts and aesthetic for photo taking. Ordered platter for 3 to share. Mint chocolate drink was great too. Staff was friendly.

Had a relaxing afternoon tea at Island Workbench. Quite easy to locate, it’s right outside the Tin Hau Temple. Very chill and laid back. Not the best waffle and coffee I have had but still good. Very comfortable sitting outside as today’s weather has been perfect.

Delicious dessert, especially the tofu cake. Lunch also good. Relaxing environment, a good place to hide from the busy city.

Very pleasant experience eating here. I especially loved their selection of drinks. I had the Hojicha Soy milk latte, very nice. My husband had the hot chocolate, also very good. The salad was served with a Japanese soy and vinegar sauce.

If you are looking for a cozy and charming place to enjoy some mouthwatering desserts, look no further than Island Workbench. This beautiful little cafe has a pleasantly designed interior, with warm light colors and wooden furniture that create a welcoming atmosphere. If you prefer to sit outside, there is a lovely outdoor seating area, where you can enjoy the fresh air and the view of the island. The staff is also fantastic, friendly and always attentive. The desserts are the highlight of the menu, especially their homemade waffles and the caramel angel cake roll. The waffles are fluffy and crisp, topped with ice cream and whipped cream. The caramel angel cake roll is heavenly, soft and moist with rich honeycomb caramel topping. Do also try some of their unique creative drinks on their menu. We tried their strawberry milk with ice cream drink and it was out of this world delicious. You can also choose from a variety of other cakes, pies and even cooked food dishes. Island Workbench is a gem of a cafe and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves desserts and a relaxing time. It does tend to get crowded so you may want to time your visit outside of the usual lunchtime hour window.

This is one of the best cafe that you can't miss!!! Great food, drink and sweet, cozy vibe, friendly host, and always value for money, you will be disappointed if you just miss it when you visit Cheung Chau!! Also don't miss their own design handmade bag, too!

Espresso and pastry are outstanding, but service is slow and seating plan could be better organized. One must grab a number first and then wait. Sometimes, one person will occupy a table of four. It took me forty minutes to get a table. Will not return as the wait is not worth it.
