Tucked away in Shek Kip Mei on Kowloon side, on the corner of Wai Chi Street, near mechanical workshops and hardware stores, is a new gem of a lifestyle store-cum-café space, called, curiously, Toolss. Stationary – that is the artful silk-screened kind and letter sets as well as a range of shoppers, magazines, washi tape, stamps, eclectic pencils and pens plus old-fashioned scissors and notebooks are available here which is wonderful and a definite first for this bustling area. The coffee, herbal teas and juices are available from an outside window for faster service and there is a range of delicious organic bites to choose from, too.

Shop no 2 G/F Fook Tin Building, 38 Wai Chi Street, Shek Kip Mei, Kowloon.
