Fukuoka - Yakuin Station Afternoon Tea Boutique

Inside, there are a total of 3 tables (seating for 6-8 people).

😃 Donuts: They mainly feature basic custard, chocolate, and berry series, along with cinnamon rolls. The current seasonal flavors are strawberry cream and strawberry chocolate. They are delicious donuts, and the custard is not overly sweet (I ordered 2 filled with custard today).

😃 Matcha latte and coffee au lait: Both drinks are smooth and not too sweet, appealing to adult tastes. The straws are very unique (super thin, a type I've never seen before 😆).

😃 There are many products featuring the logo bear: stickers, shoulder bags, clothing, pens, cups, and hats, all printed with the logo bear's design, very cute~

❤️ Conclusion: The shop sells donuts, drinks, and handmade cookies. If you're passing by and feel like having some afternoon tea, you can drop in (I encountered a senior bringing a newcomer that day, and it felt a bit tense), but I wouldn't recommend coming specially (the seating is really limited 😆).

Because I was very hungry and wanted to eat a savory dinner, my friend found this café a bit far from the back station (later I asked my friend and found out this café serves savory food; I always thought they only served dinner... along with some desserts and drinks...)

The seating inside isn't very many, but the space is quite spacious, with a warm and quality solid wood style. There are also many collectibles, which I assume belong to the owner (like comics or figurines). My friend and I visited on a weekday evening, and it was just us and another group of customers.

🌻 New Pork Curry Rice $290

Was there a dish that surprised me? When it first arrived, I thought it was just a fried pork chop, but after taking a bite I realized it was more like a meat patty made of minced meat? It was very soft to bite into, but it always felt a bit lacking in firmness...

However, the curry was well-seasoned, sweet without being spicy or too salty, it's just that the pork chop part surprised me too much...

🌻 Strawberry Pistachio Basque $150

I've recently grown fond of eating pistachios, so I ordered one, but I found that the strawberries were only on top and not mixed into the Basque... However, the flavor of the pistachio cream was quite rich, and I thought it paired well with the Basque; I also like the slightly moist texture of their Basque~

It's just that the pistachio flavor of the cake itself was only a faint hint, so it's better to eat it with the cream.

Overall, it didn't seem to have any particularly impressive parts. The Basque was quite tasty, but compared to the curry rice, the cost-performance ratio of the curry rice is a bit low. You can try their new pork, but I’m afraid it won’t be the type that everyone likes 🙂‍↕️

The atmosphere is really unique, and the overall feel of the place is very good. Although it's called Cat Earthworm... I didn't see any cats. The cat imagery is indeed quite prominent. There are two floors, and it's perfect for relaxing and dating when there aren't too many people. The music has great taste, allowing for relaxation while also letting you think. I arrived around 10:30 PM, and by 11 PM, the second floor started to fill up slowly. It became a bit noisy, but if you don't mind, you can come to read and ponder. The minimum spend is one drink. I didn't order coffee this time. The tea and milk options are both tea bags, and they have quite a good selection. It's a café I'd like to visit again when I have the chance.

A Comfortable Atmosphere
Across from West Lake
Having breakfast at Starbucks for the first time
There were not many people early in the morning, very comfortable~
Ordered a soft French baguette for $50
It has a soft texture and is slightly warm after being toasted, really delicious! Highly recommend!
Iced Caramel Macchiato for $160
Tasty, the coffee is smooth without any special recipe, just ordered it directly.
I personally feel it's just right, not too sweet.
It's a bit pricey for breakfast, but it's nice to have once in a while 😆

Located in the Far Eastern Communications Park in Taipei, there’s an entrance next to the FamilyMart where you can get in (at first, I was wondering if I needed to enter through the main door). I happened to arrive at noon and ordered a dish I had liked previously.

▪️Cheese Beef Croissant $100
The staff will heat it up for you before giving it. I had enjoyed this dish when I tried it before. The croissant is a bit soft but very fragrant and flaky. The beef is a slice similar to ham, and the cheese flavor isn't very strong. It melts when heated, and while it feels slightly indulgent, it’s quite pleasant to eat, though there is a bit too much mayonnaise.

This shop is located inside a building, so it's less crowded compared to other Starbucks, but there are quite a few seating areas. However, the business hours are mostly during working hours, which is somewhat special; otherwise, coming on weekends should be quite comfortable.

A Japanese chain coffee and brunch brand, the environment is bright, comfortable, and clean, with excellent service. It’s very suitable for gatherings, chatting, using the computer, or reading, and has a distinct Japanese style. The menu offers a variety of dishes, and there are many seasonal specials, which I really like.

The red bean milk tea was too good to wait for a photo; the mildly sweet red beans are delicious, and the additional beans that come with it pair well. You can also buy them separately. Overall, I highly recommend it and want to try some of the dishes next time.

Sweetness: Click here

Flavor: Reduced sweetness, not sweet or greasy

The Tainan Xiaobei store has a lot of space, accommodating about 50 people. It was quite spacious today, and the air conditioning was very cold, but there's construction next door, making it a bit noisy near the glass door. Overall, it's comfortable, but if you're working with a laptop, there’s only one area in the corner with 2 sockets.

A very popular coffee and dessert shop, the decor has a unique style that is beautifully nostalgic. The furniture and lighting are quite charming, which I really like. The environment is comfortable and clean, making it perfect for studying and researching. Just be mindful of the noise level during gatherings with friends.

The matcha lemon is quite special; the slight sourness pairs surprisingly well with the matcha. The cinnamon roll is also nice when it's hot. Overall, it's a great place.

This café is perfect for waking up around noon and planning to have a leisurely afternoon; it's also a great place to stay late into the night for studying or working on the computer.

📌 There are time limits when the café is full, please pay attention to the store's regulations.

🥐 Cheese Pork Loin Croissant $90
｜Mayonnaise, Tomato, Cheese Slice, Black Pepper｜
The warm, melting cheese slice combined with the pork loin not only brings out the original savory flavor of the food but also the bakery aroma of the crispy croissant. The refreshing taste of mayonnaise and tomato balances out any greasiness.

✨ Osmanthus Latte (Iced) $90
Taking a sip first brings the fragrant scent of osmanthus, followed by the sweet and delicious latte. After some time, the subtle sweetness of osmanthus blends into the latte, making it more pronounced at the beginning and toward the end of the drink.

❗️ The above are personal flavor preferences, please take them into consideration. Thank you~

Today, I visited the Starbucks at Far Eastern Department Store in Taoyuan for takeout, and the experience was very pleasant! I used a birthday discount to order the special salted caramel almond macchiato and the taro cream brulee mille-feuille cake. The staff were friendly and even kindly offered meal suggestions, making me feel valued. The salted caramel almond macchiato had a rich texture with a delightful blend of salty and sweet flavors, complemented by the aroma of almonds, which was quite fitting.

The taro cream brulee mille-feuille cake was impressive; the taro paste was dense and sweet with rich layers, sweet but not overwhelming. The takeout packaging was also well thought out, keeping the drinks and cake intact without any spills or deformities. Overall, both the service and the quality of the food were satisfying, and the birthday slice discount had no monetary restrictions, which felt very sincere.
