金山 猿 咖啡
📍Jinshan District, New Taipei City
The café is located within a community, so you need to park at the community entrance and swap a credential to enter. After entering the community, you have to drive a short distance to reach the café. There is a parking lot nearby with plenty of spaces.
Since it was the eve of a typhoon, the sky was overcast and the beautiful scenery of the café was not visible. There were also fewer customers, making the atmosphere of the café very relaxed and comfortable. I really like this kind of vibe.
Menu 🥘
-
Lemon Iced Americano / 180 NTD:
The coffee has a nice aroma, and after adding lemon, the sour and sweet taste is very refreshing. -
Salty Caramel Cocoa Au Lait / 180 NTD:
It feels a bit like the taste of marshmallow chocolate milk sold at Costco, quite sweet but very rich and fragrant. -
Luxurious Shrimp Dumplings / 4 pieces / 120 NTD:
The shrimp dumplings are very delicious, the skin is thin and the shrimp filling inside is very full, with a hint of chive aroma. If I had to recommend a snack, this would be it. -
Oyster Sauce Char Siu Buns / 2 pieces / 100 NTD:
The outer skin is similar to a bun, and the filling is a sweet minced meat sauce. Personally, I find it average and optional. -
Cronut Waffle / Butter Maple Syrup / 220 NTD:
Similar to a mille-feuille croissant texture, crispy with a buttery aroma, it can be dipped in maple syrup and paired with fruit for a more layered taste.
If you happen to be wandering around the North Coast, this café is worth visiting. The environment is nice, the scenery is beautiful, and the food is average but a good choice if there is no need to queue.
PS: The store is temporarily closed due to a typhoon-caused water pipe burst.
