金山 猿 咖啡

📍Jinshan District, New Taipei City
Mysterious Scenic Café in a Luxury Community 🪄☕️

While looking for plans on the North Coast, I accidentally discovered this place. The café is located in a large upscale residential area in Jinshan, surrounded by many beautiful private houses, creating a very comfortable and peaceful environment!

Following the navigation path, you'll encounter a security gate where you need to get out and park in the nearby parking lot to exchange for a pass (by leaving your ID or health insurance card), then continue driving a short distance to reach your destination.

Order Details
🍤 Luxurious Shrimp Dumplings (4 pieces for $120):
The item that first caught my eye. Initially, the menu only offered this dim sum dish, previously priced at six pieces for $180. This time, besides shrimp dumplings, there are many other items as well.

The shrimp is plump and delicious! A flavor you'd want to enjoy again.

🇭🇰 Oyster Sauce Barbecue Pork Buns (2 pieces for $100):
Just average convenience store quality, not a must-try.

🍋 Lemon Iced Americano ($180):
The coffee has a slightly acidic taste, which is not my favorite base, but it is well complemented by a strong lemon aroma.

🧂 Salted Caramel Cocoa Au Lait ($180):
You can distinctly taste the salt and caramel in the milk foam on top. It's the first time I've tried this kind of hot cocoa; it's very smooth and tasty.

🧇 Kouign-Amann Waffle with Butter Maple Syrup ($220):
First time having a waffle with this kind of texture.
It’s a bit like a squashed large croissant 😆
The layered texture is delicious, and the maple syrup and butter flavoring are decadently tasty 🤤

🍄
Will I return? Yes!
Perfect for escaping the city and relaxing 🕊️
