淡水紅樓咖啡館

If you take the route from the north, you will need to go through several alleys. Following the directions, you'll arrive at a red gate at the end of the road, enter the Tamsui Red House park, and then go to the third floor. This building has a history of over a hundred years. After being passed down through several owners, it was renovated and has now become a restaurant and a cultural coffee space.

The decor of this place is elegant, with old items hanging on the walls. The dining area is spacious, and the floor-to-ceiling windows offer a view of the Tamsui sunset, providing an excellent outlook. On weekdays, there are not many people, and you can make an online reservation, making it suitable for a leisurely stay.

I ordered a French au lait coffee, with an additional charge of 10 NT$ for iced. What was served was four bottles: coffee, fresh milk, heart-shaped coffee ice cubes, and syrup, allowing for self-adjustment of proportions. The amount of fresh milk provided was generous, so it could be made into a rich latte or skewed towards a cappuccino with more coffee. Personally, I really liked this self-service method, even though the coffee itself did not have an especially prominent flavor.
