sensory ZERO at Tai Koo Cityplaza is a cozy café and coffee roastery that caters to locals who appreciate thoughtfully crafted coffee alongside a menu that stretches well beyond typical café fare. Situated on Tai Koo Shing Road in Quarry Bay, this spot attracts a steady stream of regulars who come for both the coffee and the all-day dining options.

The vibe inside feels relaxed but purposeful—there’s enough bustle during peak hours that you might find yourself sharing a bench with other patrons, which lends a casual, communal atmosphere rather than a polished, solo café experience. This makes sensory ZERO suitable for a laid-back brunch with friends or a casual afternoon pit stop rather than a quiet solo work session.

The coffee is clearly a focus here, with options like a floral and balanced Panama brew and a standout Dark Chocolate Mocha—which locals seem enthusiastic about. The passion of the staff for coffee is noticeable without being overbearing, adding a layer of authenticity to the experience. It’s the kind of place you return to once the quality and service build trust, as many do.

But it's not just about the drinks. The food menu offers hearty, creative options that anchor it as an all-day dining spot too. Think satisfying plates like the pork chop with all-day breakfast, a Triple-Decker Kabayaki Eel with scrambled Japanese egg rice in the evening, and melted sweets like the Apple Cinnamon Caramel Molten Muffin which arrives warm and inviting. Portions lean towards generous, making it a solid choice for a filling meal that doesn’t feel like typical café light bites.

Visiting here for brunch or afternoon tea fits well into a weekend plan, especially if you appreciate a blend of good coffee and stronger food options. Dinner service after 6 PM introduces more substantial plates like roasted salmon and New Zealand ribeye, adding a more restaurant-like dimension to this otherwise casual setting.

While it’s a good spot to catch up over familiar comfort food and specialty coffee, expect popular times to be busy, requiring a bit of patience and a willingness to share seating during peak hours. The staff’s knowledge and friendly service help soften any wait, giving a sense of care behind the counter.

Overall, sensory ZERO feels like a neighborhood hub for those who enjoy quality coffee with the option to linger over more substantial meals, fitting smoothly into Tai Koo Cityplaza’s vibrant local dining scene.

Hot coffee came too early before the food. It should come after meal is finished or when the customer asks.

As good as always. Tried gourmet coffee Panama which is nice with floral taste and well balanced acidity. The red bean cake is very good with different layers of taste as well. Mostly importantly, the young lady server explained to me about the coffee nature in passion. Glad to have coffee in here over 100 times. And we keep going.

All day breakfast with pork chop is satisfying. The pork chop is very juicy and tasty. Pouch egg and salmon with cat toast is okay. Coffee is as good as usual. When it's peak time, a queue is formed. And, it's unavoidable to share the long bench with others.

Went to this cafe to have afternoon tea with my friend. . We ordered Apple Cinnamon Caramel Molten Muffin and Chocolate Molten Muffin to share. Both muffins arrived piping hot and looked quite mouthful. The Apple Cinnamon Caramel Molten Muffin, with its caramel sauce topping, had a moist and light texture, with a sweet and woody flavour. The Chocolate Molten Muffin boasted a rich chocolate taste. Once we cut it, it released aromatic chocolate sauce, and the sweetness was on point. . The cafe, located in City Plaza's Eslite, was quite spacious. The price of the food was a bit expensive though.

My brunch with friends there was a very good experience. Salad was fresh and dressing was just enough (i am not a fans of too much dressing). All day breakfast was in a portion absolutely made an adult full. Finally the black coffee mocha really amazed me. Apart from above brunch, yesterday I came here again for afternoon tea. I found new dishes in menu there. Appreciated very much the good quality of croissants with creamy scrabbled eggs and for toppings we ordered grilled eel and deep fired luncheon in thick cut. Very impressive the presentations and taste very good. Meanwhile we ordered latte as standard and iced coffee in gas with ginger and orange as signature. Not bad attempts on new taste but I would expect more thicker the foam will be much better! Just a little piece of advice! Here it is my 3rd report of my recent dining experience. The menu has been updated and more varieties on food as attached the latest menu for reference.

I always love coming to sensory zero for lunch and coffee. They have a wide selection of food, and their eel rice with egg is one of my favorites. We tried their coffee with manuka honey for the first time and will definitely order it again. Their service is very standard, and the team could really elevate the customer experience by smiling and placing food in front of the person who ordered it.

Nice breakfast. Good quality. For $78, that's a very good deal. Plus with my Eslite book store membership (this is located inside Eslite) , there'a 10% off too!

Got attracted by the cat toast and found this all-day-breakfast really satisfying. Not only it got grilled pineapple and enough veggie, their yogurt and fig & earl grey tea jam were amazing too! If the ordinary one is already that good, I wonder how good would their special or deluxe set be.
