D1 Hong Kong Cafe Melbourne Central

Hong Kong-style cha chaan teng in Melbourne Central, loved for milk tea and baked rice.

A compact, casual Hong Kong-style cafe tucked into the Melbourne Central food court, with quick counter ordering and simple seating rather than table service.

Hong Kong milk tea and yuanyang made to order, fridges stocked with Vitasoy and lemon tea, and baked rice and pasta dishes served hot from the oven.

Consistently praised by Hong Kong-born reviewers as genuinely capturing cha chaan teng flavours and format, from the milk tea to the baked rice dishes.

Widely seen as good value for large, filling combo meals around $17-18, though one detailed review felt pricing sat at the higher end for the format.
