The Village Chief's Home in Iron Flower Village | Taitung
A super Japanese-style, old-fashioned coffee shop with a nostalgic interior decoration reminiscent of grandma's kitchenware, cabinets, Datong baby figurines, vintage record players, and the iconic Black King Kong mobile phones. The highlight for kids is the traditional candy store filled with old-fashioned sweets. The shop also plays ancient songs, transporting you back in time to the era of our elders. The outer crust of the tarts is firm and flaky, and the filling inside is incredibly fragrant. It melts perfectly in your mouth with just the right level of sweetness, offering a unique experience compared to the egg tarts you usually eat. The gradient appearance of the drinks is perfect for photography, and the sweet and sour taste paired with desserts can help cut through the richness, giving your taste buds a new sensation. The cool and refreshing feeling is just awesome.
Beautiful Donghe Coffee Homestay | Taitung
Leaving the city center to a less crowded place, I discovered a small coffee shop that is also a homestay. The exterior is all white, and although the interior is not very big, it's simply furnished but gives a very comfortable and relaxing feeling. It calms your mind. Oh, and the lemon tart made by the owner themselves is the kind with a sour kick. The filling is refreshingly sour, and the crust is the firmer, crumbly kind. It pairs well with the milk tea I ordered.
Xiaohebulang | Hualien
As soon as you enter the room, you get a sense of American retro nostalgia. The old house and tiles are very special. There are seats in the front and back, as well as an outdoor garden area. However, I think the spacing between indoor seats is too close, which makes it inconvenient to chat for fear of disturbing others. But the atmosphere is very nice, very comfortable and great for taking photos. No wonder there are so many people and it's fully seated. The rice fragrance and honey-scented black tea milk cap pancakes are of the American style, very solid. The pancake batter itself is very fragrant, and the honey-scented black tea milk cap has a rich tea aroma that fills your mouth with a sweet tea flavor upon tasting.
【Central】Bacha Coffee: A century-old Moroccan boutique coffee shop.
Last year, the Moroccan coffee shop Bacha Coffee🇲🇦 landed in Hong Kong and has been bustling with customers ever since its opening. The interior decoration of the shop is dominated by the gorgeous and exquisite Arab style, with carved and black-and-white checkered floors, dazzling in gold, attracting many people to come and take photos📸.
In terms of coffee, the shop offers over 200 varieties of coffee for customers to choose from☕️. Customers can make their selections on the menu, and most of the coffee is priced at $50. In addition to coffee, there are also smooth cream and sugar sticks that can be added according to personal preference😋.

Seoul Retro Coffee Shop.
Seoul's favorite coffee shop list has added this one. Retro aesthetics, traditional furniture, and details make for a delightful experience, as if traveling through time to appreciate the carefully designed café.
There is a wide variety of coffee. We tried hand-dripped coffee and café latte. The shop is divided into two parts, with the one offering cakes located across the street.
A hidden gem in the alley! Definitely a must-visit!

【Admiralty】Lady M: Open Space to Enjoy Coffee and Cake
Lady M has branches in many places, and a pop-up store at Pacific Place in Admiralty has also opened recently. Many people have tasted their exquisite cakes🍰, but their coffee and other beverages are also outstanding. The Latte I ordered this time had a rich coffee aroma☕️, not overly bitter, and very balanced. The texture of the milk foam was very fine, adding a rich taste to the coffee😋.
This branch is located in the central area of Pacific Place, with a simple and modern decor. Although there are not many seats, the space between seats is spacious, allowing customers to sit down and enjoy the cakes and drinks🥰.

Healing Space Coffee Shop | Taitung
A pet cafe that requires a reservation to enjoy. Upon arrival, you are greeted by two adorable and lively Labradors at the door. Once inside, pay attention to the instructions given by the staff. Open the gate, change into slippers, and as you enter the seating area, you'll find many cute kittens. Some are sleeping, some are walking around - they are just irresistibly cute! There's also a little bunny in its den. Be careful with your food when it's served, as the cats might try to jump on the table and eat it, which is definitely not allowed. After everyone has finished their meal and cleared the tableware, you'll be treated to a cat feeding show. Then comes the highlight - the appearance of the Fennec fox. The staff will bring the Fennec fox to each guest for a photo opportunity, which is absolutely heart-melting. Plus, if you check in, you can choose between small snacks to feed the cats or the Fennec fox. This way, the little animals will climb on you and interact with you. Everyone leaves here with lots of photos, feeling healed and satisfied.
【Hongdae-Hapjeong】Terarosa Coffee: Cherry Blossom Flavored Coffee Beans, perfect for reading and savoring.
Attracted by the 🌸🌸 cherry blossom flavored coffee beans, I discovered this great place for reading and drinking coffee.

Its signature product is a variety of drip coffees. In addition to that, Terarosa also offers a wide range of other beverages and desserts.

The venue is also known for its stunning natural surroundings, red brick architecture, and chic industrial interior.

DALI COFFEE LOVERS! This one is for you!
小浓造物咖啡 Little Farmer Coffee
This coffee shop is not only aesthetically beautiful, the barista’s are both super friendly and wildly knowledgeable about their coffee!

The atmosphere here is really wonderful. I confess I went 4 times during my short trip to Dali and I couldn’t recommend it more.

Between Two and Three: The Perfect Combination of Coffee, Pasta, and Desserts.
I recently visited the cafe Between Two and Three located in Sai Wan. The atmosphere of the cafe is very comfortable, making one feel relaxed and at ease😌.
We ordered two cups of coffee, a Cappuccino and a Ginger Latte☕️. The Cappuccino ordered by my friend had a rich aroma, with smooth and delicate milk foam, and the coffee taste was strong yet balanced. The Ginger Latte had a mild ginger flavor🫚, which was easy to drink, but those who like a strong ginger taste might be disappointed☺️.
The menu had plenty of choices. In the end, we ordered the spicy clam pasta and creamy mushroom pasta🍝 for lunch, and also the summer berries chewy waffle as dessert🧇. Both pastas were rich in ingredients, and the combination of spices and pasta was perfectly balanced, which both my friend and I liked very much😋.
The dessert brought us a fresh taste, with the waffle being soft and chewy, paired with the sweet and sour taste of berries, providing a delightful enjoyment😚.
We visited during a weekday lunchtime. Although the cafe is not in a commercial area and there are many other cafes nearby, there were still quite a few customers during lunchtime.

Recommended because:
I saw people going to this Korean cafe online, the food and drinks are beautifully presented, so I went to try it. The cafe has many tatami booths, we were arranged to sit in one of them, feeling a lot more private.
Half and half fried chicken🍗 chose cheese flavor and honey🍯 flavor. Unlike many other Korean fried chicken shops, the cafe's fried chicken is not drenched in sauce, but seasoned with powder, so you don't have to worry about the sauce making the chicken soggy. The fried chicken is very crispy, boneless, tender and smooth meat, convenient for lazy people to eat. The fried chicken comes with a small bag of sauce, the sauce is a salad dressing with a hint of orange, refreshing.
Although Christmas has passed, there are still some food and drinks with a Christmas atmosphere. The Gingerbread Man's Christmas Waffle Croissant is a large plate. Waffle croissants🥐, strawberries🍓 are arranged in the shape of a Christmas tree🎄. There is also a small plate of soft ice cream🍦 with matcha powder, also like a Christmas tree. There are many gingerbread men on the 2 trees, and there are some small different colored marshmallows for decoration on the plate, you can see that the presentation is very thoughtful.
The rich Earl Grey shaved ice🍧 is a lot, enough for 4 people to share. The ice is the fluffy kind, it melts in your mouth. Added a lot of cream with Earl Grey flavor, so every bite of ice will have Earl Grey flavor. The surprise is that there is a smooth pudding🍮 at the bottom of the ice.
The two drinks not only look good, but also taste good. The Gingerbread Man's Marshmallow Chocolate Bubble Bath has a chocolate🍫 flavor. There is also a strong cinnamon flavor. The Gingerbread Man Melted into Milkshake is full of caramel flavor. The 2 drinks each come with a Korean flower pancake, very soft and glutinous, the filling is red bean🍡.

Summore Day Cafe Shop
*Introduction*:
-It’s located on top of mountain at Mueang Phuket Region. Has sea views over the mountain. Address is 94 ถนน วิเศษ Rawai, Mueang Phuket District, Phuket 83130, Thailand. Open at 10am and 8pm is closing time.
*Coffee and Drinks*:
We ordered Matcha Green Tea,Lemongrass and lemon taste Coffee. I drunk lemon one and it tasted like a bit sour but gave me a big fresh. Normally I always drink cooled drinks so it was ordered. Only 6SGD.
*Food*:
Not only we ordered coffee and also we ordered foods .Ofcoz we’re foodies 😂🥰. So I ordered American Breakfast Style which includes Bacons, Toast with Butter, Salads and Twins fried eggs. The portion came as so much although I paid 7 SGD (175Bahts). French fries 🍟 was good also and one of my favourite breakfast is sticky rice and mango with coconut milk 🥛😘😘. Among them I like sticky rice the most . I poured all coconut milk on the middle of heart shaped sticky rice and ate with mango then it gave me a lot of energy 🤩🤩
*Atmosphere and Service*:
The atmosphere was cozy and intimate, with comfortable seating and soft background music. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the coffee and menu items.
That shop is surrounded by a lot of trees and man made artificial water fall and pool. In that pool has KOI fish a lot🐠🐟🐠
All staffs were good but you should speak slowly and use simple English. But don’t worry they would pay more attention to follow your instructions 🦋
- Overall, I highly recommend "Summore Day" for its excellent coffee, delicious foods, and welcoming atmosphere. I give it 4 stars and look forward to returning soon!

Coffee Hwajeon 커피화전 - Located in Elements
This Korean cuisine really impressed me with:
1) Location - I only live one station away from this wonderful place (located in Elements shopping arcade)
2) Eels Gimbap - The eel seaweed purple rice rolls are easy to share with a super attractive appearance.
3) Drinks - My friend and I loved both the Lotus Caramel milk shake and the triple (3 types of coffee- Espresso, Crema and Latte) - The milk shake was not too sugary and yet so smooth and creamy texture really impressed me!
4) I couldn't take my eyes off the design of food menu at all.
