Afternoon Tea1 pplNT$190

A coffee shop combined with accommodation ☕️
Actually, you can also enjoy coffee and desserts independently~
However, since there is accommodation upstairs, the main door is usually locked with a password lock🔒, and you need to press the doorbell to enter.

The main reason for coming here this time was for the accommodation;
I didn't expect that the coffee shop was merged with the lodging,
and I happened to run into an afternoon thunderstorm, so I quickly ducked in before checking in.

As a café, this place is very comfortable, and the space is bright,
not just with bright lights, but also plenty of natural light!

The drinks suit my taste, and the desserts are very cute😆
Taking my time to enjoy them and spending an afternoon here is a great choice!

I also want to mention the reasons why I didn't give a perfect score:
➡️ Of course, it’s because of the lodging aspect - the locked door.
I like automatic doors, but I don’t like having to wait for someone to open the door for me when it’s blocked😅

The speed with which the staff opens the door sometimes depends on how busy they are.
If there happens to be a guest checking in at the counter,
even if I press the doorbell, I may have to wait outside until the staff is finished before they can let me in😅

Most of the time, the staff seems to think I am a guest staying at the accommodation,
rather than a customer just there for coffee.
At that moment, I had to communicate a bit at the door before I could normally enter the café section to wait and order my meal.

But, perhaps it's also because I was a guest at that moment,
the staff might have momentarily thought I wanted to check in first (it was just past noon), which caused some confusion.

🥳 The benefit of being a guest is that you can get a discount on your order! 🤩
I’m not exactly sure how the discount works, but the staff said that a meal originally priced at $250 became $190 for guests😋
I was very surprised to hear this (since it wasn't mentioned on the menu or online), and this discounted price felt really good!

This meal consists of: (Appetizer) Tiramisu $130 (Dessert) Stewed Milk Tea (Indian Spices) $120 I was really surprised when the tiramisu was served, I never expected it to look like this, it's really super cute!

Pot Boiled Milk Tea (Indian Spices) The spice flavor is really strong! However, it's not to the point of being too overwhelming; for me, it's just right, and it's the kind of spiced milk tea that makes me want to have another cup!

No matter the angle you take the photo from, the cute round tiramisu looks great, and paired with a petal-shaped plate, it’s something you can keep enjoying over and over again! 🤣

Could the tiramisu have been put in the freezer? I originally wanted to cut it, but I found that I couldn't, so in the end, I just had to bite into it directly. The cream (or mousse?) part became like eating ice cream! Taking small bites, it's really quite good!

Tiramisu is layered with an outer layer and an inner layer!

Indoor space~ The shoe cabinet on the right with holes is for the guests' shoes. Upstairs is for backpacker accommodations, Shoes are placed in the shoe cabinet, and everyone upstairs wears slippers, The slippers have thick soles, making them very comfortable! However, the upstairs is a restricted area, so you can't just go up to drink coffee!

I happened to catch them during a power outage 😅, which is why I have this extra photo. (Look, the emergency lights next to the pillar are all on.) But it was during this power outage that I realized there is plenty of natural light too! At that time, it was raining heavily outside, around 3 p.m., yet even so, the indoor lighting wasn’t too dim, so the power outage wasn’t so scary after all.
