RUNA CAFE 崇文門市

A coffee shop with warmth, both in service and decor.
This time, I chose to dine in; it's quite convenient to ride my bike here. There are a few spots right at the entrance, but if you're driving, you might need to look around nearby or ask the shop if you can park temporarily.
During the dining process, the customers coming in are greeted easily and casually by the owner; I guess there must be quite a few regulars 🤔.
The menu isn't extensive, but it can easily satisfy an afternoon tea time with cakes, coffee, savory snacks, and a variety of teas. Recently, they've also added beef noodles and pasta to the menu, and the operating hours have been adjusted to 9 PM 🕘.
Here you can use Line Pay, which is perfect for someone like me who doesn’t carry a wallet 😅.

The prices of coffee and tea range from 70 to 130 TWD.
If you're just getting take-out coffee, I think the prices are mid-range, but if you're enjoying a relaxing afternoon tea here, it's definitely cheaper compared to those popular Instagram-worthy shops outside!

✐ Handmade Pung TANG (sweet cake) $85
· This was the item I was immediately attracted to. I originally thought pairing an Americano with Pung TANG would be strange (because I remember those drinks usually have dairy), but it actually pairs well!
Although I can't fully understand the way people drink Americano with sugar, adding Pung TANG is a nice touch 😌.
For take-out, the coffee and Pung TANG are packed separately, so you can enjoy sipping your coffee while holding the Pung TANG, which has a thick, honeycomb texture and the sweet aroma complements the coffee perfectly 👍🏻.
