Afternoon Tea2 pplNT$270

This is a café with a focus on desserts >>>>> coffee ☕️

The introduction and descriptions about the desserts greatly outnumber those for savory dishes, drinks, and snacks. If you're here to enjoy desserts and have afternoon tea, you can say you've come to the right place!

On that day, it was drizzling continuously, and the ground was wet and slippery 🌧️. The humid atmosphere made me feel pretty down 😞, but luckily, I got to try some decent desserts, which lifted my spirits.

Yes, "decent" is how I would describe it. In the highly competitive dessert market of Taichung, I would rate their desserts as "affordable + slightly above average" in flavor.

They weren't spectacular enough to amaze you, but at a reasonable price, I would consider coming back next time—roughly like that 👌

The café is near Taichung train station, which makes parking difficult, but it's just a short walk from the station. The seating is somewhat a matter of luck; there aren't many spots, with tables for 2-4 people. That day, there were quite a few customers dining, and we were lucky to get the last available table.

🌟 Dining time limit is 2 hours
🌟 Minimum spending of $150/person on weekends (most dishes exceed this price)

For a gathering with friends or chatting over afternoon tea, I think 2 hours is more than sufficient 👌. After finishing lunch, we can have some desserts and drinks, and by the end of 2 hours, we can continue on to dinner. It was a simple yet perfect day 😌.

Tiramisu $155 A standard tiramisu, Ant-Man's friend thinks it's sweet enough and great!

Darjeeling Earl Grey Tea (Medium) $95

Four Seasons Spring Tea Mille-Feuille Cake $155 The tea powder on top has no sweetness at all, the cream part is very original (not the refreshing kind), the overall cake is not very sweet, and it is even a bit bitter because of the tea powder.

Hojicha Latte (Large) $135 The large cup turns into a chubby cup. The tea isn’t very strong, but the flavors of the tea and the latte seem to remain separate (I did stir it), so my overall assessment is just average.

The desserts depend on what is available in the dessert display that day; the menu may not necessarily reflect what is available that day.

There are also cookies to choose from that are not on the menu!

Starting from the entrance, there are various dessert recommendations.

There are also gift box-style cookies next to it.

The space inside the store isn't very large, but there are quite a few people! When we first looked from the outside, we thought it was fully booked (in the end, we ended up sitting at the most inconspicuous table).
