% Arabica at HKIA – Fresh Coffee & Tarmac Views Before the Flight

#hkonbudget % Arabica in HKIA’s Terminal 1 was a pleasant surprise—a sleek, minimalist café with airplane views that feels a world away from typical airport coffee. The beans are roasted on-site, and sipping a Kyoto Latte while watching flights line up is a brief, peaceful luxury before takeoff. Yes, it’s pricier (~HK$50 for a latte), and service can be a bit slow during rush hours. But the quality, atmosphere, and freshly roasted aroma made it worth it for us. If you want a classy caffeine fix en route, this is one of the best picks at HKIA.
