Olympia Graeco Egyptian Coffee

Many of Central’s caffeine junkies can blame their struggle with addiction on Old Master Ho who has been selling his excellent coffee beans at Olympia Graeco Egyptian Coffee since the 1950s.

The shop itself was established at the beginning of the last century and was first lauded for serving authentic Turkish coffee. Alas, coffee is no longer served on the premises, but Old Master Ho has not stopped roasting beans since he took over the shop and keeps quality high while prices low.

Nowadays, the shop attracts gawking tourists curious to see the ancient Chinese man handling the equally ancient roasters, but it is the unbeatable value of the product that keeps locals coming back.
