Hong Kong’s café and wine scene is getting a refresh with Venner, a new Nordic-inspired all-day hangout spot bringing together small-batch cakes, coffee, and curated natural wines, opening its doors at 161 Hollywood Road in Hong Kong.
Founded by Nelson Htoo and Elin Fu, the hospitality duo behind the now-closed Hjem, the space blends Nordic simplicity with cozy community vibes, creating a more intentional, more personal space to enjoy good pastries, playlists, and vibes.
By day, Venner is a calm oasis on Hollywood for coffee and small-batch Nordic bakes, all made in-house. Highlights include locally roasted, medium-to-light roast coffee, alongside ceremonial-grade matcha and seasonal variations like Matcha Coconut (HKD$55) and Double Matcha (HKD$60).
Signature drinks from Hjem also make a return, including Honey Golden Latte (HKD$48) and Swedish Lemonade (HKD$48). Pastry highlights include the classic Cinnamon and Cardamom Bun (HKD$48), the Skolebrød (HKD$48), and Venner’s signature Breakfast Plate (HKD$88).
By night, Venner’s focus shifts to a curated selection of natural wines from small producers, serving rotational wines by the glass starting from HKD$88. To go with the wine, Venner offers a selection of light bites including a savory Goat’s Cheese Cheesecake (HKD$98), Dates with Proscuitto and Brie (HKD$48), alongside other rotating small plates designed to be easy to share and enjoy without feeling heavy or formal.
Looking to take a piece of Venner home? Venner’s merch is available for purchase, such as the Logo Tees (HKD$200) that come in two colors, white and butter yellow, alongside the signature Venner Tote (HKD$150).
