At City Hall, Yi Hui (一會) presents a clean, minimalist take on modern tea and coffee, with a space designed to feel more like a lab than a café. The name translates to “a meeting” or “a moment”, and the concept follows that idea closely — a place to pause, reset, and enjoy drinks made with a focus on clarity and precision. Inside, silver counters, glass panels, and a bright, stripped-back interior reflect the brand’s “clean recipe” philosophy, where the emphasis is on real ingredients and transparent preparation.
The menu ranges across both tea and coffee, with drinks built around natural flavour profiles rather than heavy syrups or artificial mixes. One of the most talked-about items is the viral -86°C Dirty Vanilla Coffee, served in a super-chilled glass before a fresh espresso shot is poured over cold milk for a smooth, layered finish. Alongside it are milk teas and brewed options that lean floral, creamy, or earthy, including white peach oolong, rose-infused blends, and roasted pu’er, each prepared to highlight the character of the tea itself.
Yi Hui’s approach centres on simplicity, but with careful attention to detail. Ingredients are kept clean, flavours are balanced, and every drink is made to order with a measured, almost methodical process. In the busy City Hall area, the café stands out for its calm, modern feel — a small, polished stop for those looking for tea and coffee that focus less on trends and more on purity of taste.
