結果排除萬難，與小姐JOSEPHINE 的帶領下，
於長沙灣找到了一家食店！
《牧羊少年咖啡．茶．酒館》
-----------------------------------------------------
與友人吃過一次之後，感到十分舒暢，
是一個很輕鬆的地方，享受食物，分享心事，文化共融。
此店是有好幾家分店的，有空會再去其他分店，可以看出不同環境的分別。

簡介：
==============================
有沒有試過，當你聽見你的朋友去了working holiday、當你知道有人傲然辭掉工作去了半年流浪、當你在雜誌上讀到有人以數萬元環遊世界、當你在書局看到一個少女打順風車從中國到了歐洲的遊記，那一刻，你是否在想，天呀，我究竟還坐在這裡幹什麼？不要害怕，有這個想法的人其實滿佈天下，可是在這個茫茫人海，就只會有人叫我快醒來不要作夢，志同道合的人究竟在哪裡？
有一天，當我想找個地方坐下來，好好編排即將出發的旅程時，我腦海突然一片空白，想不到該到哪裡去。第一時間想起街角的星北克和太平洋，但那裡太繁囂了；不如找間偏僻寧靜的咖啡館坐下來吧，可是那裡大家各有各的話題，亦未必有電腦讓我上網尋找資料；去圖書館吧，那裡有旅遊書可供參考，可是那麼靜寂的氣氛，令人連旅行的意慾都熄滅了；去朋友的家吧，大伙兒一起聊天討論，但沒有好的咖啡怎麼辦？想到這裡，更可怕的是，我想起朋友各有各忙，有的為了家庭，有的為了工作，哪有人有閒情逸致和我揹起背包一同出發？我明白，孤身上路並不如想像中寂寞，可是人本來就是群居動物哎。
香港這片土地，任誰也有想從繁迫的工作和生活中遠走他方的心態。在近年背包旅行風氣愈益倡盛下，在去旅行前，我們總需要找個地方坐下來編排行程。可是香港這麼大，我竟然找不到一個相關的地方。我所說的相關，是一個氛圍充滿旅行氣味的地方。那裡有一個巨大的書櫃，擁有過千本旅遊書，可以讓客人隨時翻閱；那裡每一個人談的都是相同的夢，機緣巧合下，來的都是背包客或職業旅人，彼此可以交換意見，讓大家在下一次遊歷時更得心應手；我們能夠在那裡認識到素未謀面但有共同喜好的朋友，可以相約一起到台灣單車環島遊，抑或一起組隊到南美洲看馬丘比丘；那裡有優質的咖啡，美好的啤酒，牆上掛著一幅三米乘兩米的世界地圖，播著陳綺貞《旅行的意義》。在那裡，每一張桌子上都有一盞燈，讓客人可以埋首於各自的行程之中。
是的，在香港這麼一個外遊熱情滿溢的地方，竟然還沒有如我以上所說，一個讓旅遊愛好者和背包客聚腳的地方，一間以旅遊為主題的店。結果那天，我就待在家裡什麼地方都沒去。旅行前後，不應該是這樣的。既然如此，就讓我們來打造香港第一間以旅遊交流平台為主題的咖啡酒館吧。
《牧羊少年咖啡．茶．酒館》，自此誕生。
迪倫 2012冬
When you learned that your friend get the visa for working holiday, when you heard of someone decisively quit his job and travel for half an year, when you read in a magazine that someone spent thousands of dollars to travel around the world, when you saw a book of a young woman’s hitchhiking journal from China to Europe...did you question yourself, ‘My God? What am I doing? Why am I just sitting here?’ Don’t be scared! There are actually billions of people doing the same thing as you in the world. However, people around are keep telling me to wake up and stop day-dreaming.
Where can I find the one who share the same dream, dream of journeys?
One day, I wanted to find a quiet and little place to plan for a trip I was about to make, but I drew a blank; there wasn’t any idea in mind to go. I thought of the Starbucks or Pacific Coffee at the street corner, but they were too noisy and crowded. I could go to a small quiet cafe, everyone would chat about different topics, and there might not be computers for me to do research. I could go to the library, there are lots of traveling books, but the stiffness and silence could really put out my desires for travelling. I could go to a friend’s place, everyone could chat freely, but there wouldn’t be good coffee... at this moment, I thought of something more terrifying --- my friends all lead busy lives, some for their family, and some for their career… Who can spend the time for putting on a backpack and starting a journey with me? I understand that traveling alone is not as lonely as one would imagine, but, human beings are pack animals after all.
People in Hong Kong always think of leaving behind the hectic work and travel around because of the stressful life. In recent years, the trend of backpacking has been brewing, and before we go on trips, we always need a place to sit down and make plans. I could hardly find a related place to do so in our city. By related, I mean a place that is overwhelming travel atmosphere: a big bookshelf with over a thousand traveling guidebooks for guests to flip through freely; a place to share the same dream, in good fortune, professional travelers or backpackers gather and share the world information, and make their next trips better; a place to meet strangers with the same likes and dislikes, then we can organize a round-Taiwan cycling trip, or a team to go to the Machu Picchu in South America; a bar table with great coffee, top beers, with a 3m X 2m world map hung on the wall, with Chan Yi Ching’s song《Meaning of travel》playing in the background, with a lamp at every table, so that our guests can work on their own journeys.
It is true that in Hong Kong, where traveling desires are so strong, never got such a place I just described, a place for traveling enthusiasts and backpackers to gather, a place with a traveling theme.
That day, at last, I stayed at home and went nowhere.
It shouldn’t be like that. And if that’s the case, let us start the first cafe restaurant with a traveling exchange forum in Hong Kong.
“The Alchemist Cafe Bistro” was thus founded.
