Hong Kong’s cult-favorite neighborhood café Elephant Grounds has finally opened its first flagship outlets in Singapore and Jakarta!
Founded in 2013, Elephant Grounds is Leading Nation Hospitality Group’s flagship café brand, known for its sophisticated blend of specialty coffee with a relaxed, community-driven atmosphere. Starting off as a small kiosk in Sheung Wan, the brand has grown to be one of Hong Kong’s most celebrated café names, renowned for its special in-house roasted beans, Japanese-inspired menus, and artisanal pastries.
With its “Coffee n Chill” ethos, Elephant Grounds reflects Leading Nation’s commitment to building neighborhood culture across Asia.
Newly opened at Singapore’s Guoco Midtown Network Hub, the flagship café features Elephant Grounds’ signature bright, nature-inspired design. It offers a full all-day dining program, house-made ice cream, and pastries baked fresh daily in an on-site kitchen — the first dedicated production facility outside Hong Kong.
“The opening of Elephant Grounds in Singapore and Jakarta makes a pivotal step into new markets,” said Co-Founder Gerald Li. “As we expand regionally, we will continue to scale our original concepts in regional markets, while remaining focused on what we do best — guest experience and innovative concepts.”
Elephant Grounds currently operates eight outlets in Hong Kong and two in Manila, serving as important pillars of Leading Nation’s growing portfolio. The group continues to develop its presence through strategic multi-regional partnerships and projects, including the recently opened “JIJA,” an exclusive partnership with Michelin-starred chef Vicky Lau at the Kimpton Hong Kong.
With its latest expansion, Leading Nation Hospitality Group aims to bring its café culture and hospitality philosophy to a wider, connected audience across Asia.
