The founder William and Diana leaving their job as the Project Manager and Fashion Buyer, they want to start their own business of what they always love, Coffee and Shiba Inu! Finally, they opened their first cafe in Ho Man Tin in 2016, Black Sugar. Few years later, they have opened the fourth store in early 2022 at PMQ. The name Black Sugar comes from a Shiba dog with the same name from the owner William.

The barista is the soul of the coffee shop, brewing coffee for everyone daily and creating a good time for everyone in the coffee shop. Jasper, one of the baristas in the store, was the first runner-up at Hong Kong Brewers Cup Championship 2021. He is always attentive and serious when you meet him in the competitions or in the bar. In fact, he is very friendly. You will find him familiar with when you meet him in the store next time:

Jasper: Every time I taste coffee, it reminds me of the continuous efforts of many people who make it. Seeking breakthroughs and pursuing the excellency make today's success. I admire this attitude very much, it makes me fall in love with coffee even more.

Jasper: At Friedhats Fuku Café in Amsterdam, Netherlands, I drank the best cup of Cappuccino in my life. This cup of milk coffee is simply pure and gives smooth texture.

Jasper: Cherish every opportunity to communicate with different baristas, continue to add value to yourself, and study hard. Brew better coffee for everyone to enjoy!

The fourth store at PMQ combines the styles of the other three stores, and the decoration and furnishings are mainly made of brass and wood. At the front door, the wall is set off with the signature origami pattern. A few steps later, you will arrive at the espresso bar, where guests can interact with the barista. After all, the connection and communication between people is the unique magic in coffee shops.

Presenting “in-ei” aesthetic, that is, the beauty of dim light, which is inspired by Japanese writer Jun’ichirō Tanizaki's famous book “In Praise of Shadows", yet differs from the modern and bold western design to a certain extent.

Located at PMQ, the veranda design can block sunlight from entering the room, at the same time enhancing the ambience of Japanese-style "wabi-sabi". There are only 6 seats in the store with dimmed lightings, it makes the dining table the focal point under the light - in this sense, the barista is like a performer, who share intimate coffee experiences with the guest.

The entire tone is deep and matte – you could see in the wood and Diatomaceous earth (a common interior design material in Japan) for the ceiling and walls, the store's original concrete floor, the coffee machine in black color , ceiling lights and speakers.

People can feel the beauty of traditional Japanese style, not just a place for selfies.
