Tsim Sha Tsui, 尖沙咀 ("sharp sandspit"), is the tip of the Kowloon peninsula, facing Central across the harbor. The Star Ferry has run regular crossings between the two since 1888, and the clock tower of the old Kowloon railway station, completed in 1915, still stands by the pier.1 Canton Road marks the district's western edge and Chatham Road its eastern one.1

Coffee is spread across several distinct pockets: the side streets between Canton Road and Nathan Road, the roasters of Tsim Sha Tsui East along Mody Road, small cafés in Jordan around Temple Street, and the museum café at M+ in the West Kowloon Cultural District.2 Urban Coffee Roaster, one of the early specialty cafés that now has several locations, is on Bristol Avenue.5

Local tip: Take the Star Ferry from Central to the clock-tower pier, then follow the promenade east toward Tsim Sha Tsui East; REACTION on Mody Road serves until 22:00 if you stay for the evening.
