What is Gettin?
Gettin is a newly opened, Korean-inspired cafe at 34 Davis Street in Kennedy Town, one of a wave of new coffee spots to land on Hong Kong Island's westernmost MTR strip. The room leans into an industrial-chic aesthetic, built around exposed concrete surfaces, and the outdoor seating area is explicitly pet-friendly — a detail that matters in a neighbourhood known for its dog-walking crowds along the nearby waterfront promenade.
Kennedy Town has spent the past few years building a reputation as one of the best cafe-hopping strips in the city, sitting alongside established names on and around Davis Street. Gettin's arrival adds a Korean-leaning menu to that mix, distinguishing itself with playful drink pairings rather than a straight coffee-and-pastry format.
What's on the menu?
Gettin's drinks menu is built around a couple of signature, Instagram-friendly creations. The Pink Matcha gives the classic ceremonial-grade matcha latte a fruity pink twist, while the tiramisu latte goes a step further — arriving with an actual portion of tiramisu served alongside the coffee itself, rather than just tiramisu-flavoured syrup.
On the food side, the kitchen balances familiar cafe staples with a few inventive detours. Expect ham-and-cheese croissants and bagel sandwiches alongside more unusual bakes like Chinese mugwort madeleines, which fold a traditionally savoury Chinese herbal ingredient into a classic French shell-shaped cake. Gettin has also flagged plans to expand its offering later in the season with an evening cocktail menu, additional light bites such as yoghurt bowls and sandwiches, and a dedicated alfresco dining area.

Good to know: Kennedy Town's cafe strip gets busy on weekend mornings, so if you're planning to work from Gettin's outdoor tables or bring a dog along, an early or late-morning visit on a weekday is the safer bet.
