Hong Kong’s frozen dessert scene just got a new addition from Spain, as MYKA Greek Frozen Yogurt has officially landed in Central, marking both its Hong Kong debut and its first opening in Asia.
Founded in 2023 by French-Mexican chef Natalia Morales and entrepreneur Javier Ezquerro, the fast-growing Madrid-born brand has expanded across 17 countries with 290 signed franchises in cities including New York, Paris, London, Miami, and Mexico City. Now, it's bringing its signature take on frozen yogurt to Wellington Street.

What sets MYKA apart is its ingredient-first approach. Instead of relying on industrial powdered mixes, its frozen yogurt is made with authentic Greek yogurt and goat’s milk kefir, using live cultures and strained yogurt to achieve a rich, creamy texture. The Hong Kong flagship follows the same standards as its international stores, sourcing premium ingredients such as Sicilian pistachios, Madagascar vanilla, orange blossom honey, and high-quality cocoa.
The new Central location also houses an in-house production kitchen, where both the frozen yogurt and toppings are prepared fresh daily. Alongside the Original Greek Frozen Yogurt, customers can expect rotating seasonal flavors and a lineup of house-made toppings including fleur de sel chocolate crumble, reduced-sugar baklava, praliné crunch,and artisanal fruit compotes.

With its combination of authentic Greek yogurt, house-made toppings, and globally sourced ingredients, MYKA is bringing a fresh perspective to Hong Kong’s dessert scene. As the brand likes to put it: “It’s not froyo, it’s MYKA.” For more details and the latest updates, follow their Instagram account.

Coffee lovers, clear your calendars: Urban Brew Summit 2026 returns to The Mills in Tsuen Wan for two long weekends, bringing Japanese specialty coffee, local favorites, and enough tasting opportunities to fuel your love for the drink.
Organized by The Mills and Biugorbiumui (BGBM), the summit runs from Sept. 24 to 27 and Oct. 1 to 4, 2026, from noon to 8:30 PM. This year's expanded event features more than 30 local coffee, dessert, and lifestyle brands, alongside a ticketed "Overseas Coffee Experience" featuring 10 Japanese brands from Tokyo, Hayama, Kanazawa, and Okinawa.
The main local market at M6 1/F is free and open to the public, while the "Overseas Coffee Experience" is at the atrium on M4 1/F and requires a separate ticket.
An HK$220 Urban Pass includes three 80-milliliter coffee tastings and a limited-edition tasting cup. For those who want to do a little retail therapy, an early-bird bundle costs HK$350 (discounted from HK$400) and adds a mystery gift bag. Just 200 early-bird sets are available online via this link.
Possible gifts include 100 grams of Japanese coffee beans, a Dark Arts Coffee Japan T-shirt, a box of selected drip bags, a cap or other merchandise, and coffee goods from participating Japanese brands.

Known around the world for its signature soft-serve cone and legendary Blizzard treats, Dairy Queen has built a devoted following thanks to its thick ice cream creations packed with cookie, candy, and brownie mix-ins. The Blizzard remains one of the chain's most iconic menu items, famous for being served upside down to prove just how thick it is.
The upcoming openings are only the beginning, though. Under plans announced by International Dairy Queen, operator Shanghai Dairy Queen Limited aims to open 60 DQ restaurants in Hong Kong before 2034, so expect more branches in the coming years!
