The Hong Kong Cafe in San Francisco

In the 1950’s and 60’s, few places exuded as much sophistication as Hong Kong’s classic cafes - the crosspoint of Cantonese and British flavor, culture, and politics. 

Now, they are an artifact of history. In that way, The Essential's SF-based Cantonese bakery, is a living, breathing museum. For over ten years, Liqian Lin, has recreated the bustling Hong Kong cafe’s of his youth right here in San Francisco. Now, we’re helping him extend that experience to your home.
