Reviews
📍Shilin District, Taipei City (Tianmu Shopping District)
A no-time-limit café with a vintage artistic style 🪴☕️🔅
After discovering this café on Fooday, I decided I had to visit!
I chose a weekday to come here to work 😂
The café is located on the second floor, and as I climbed up the narrow stairs, I immediately loved the decor style💕.
It primarily features white and a vintage homey feel, along with some greenery. Each table and chair arrangement is a bit different, showing thoughtful design. I took so many pictures as soon as I walked in!
One thing to note is that the lighting here mostly relies on natural light and tends to get darker before closing.

Order Items
🍋 Sicilian ($160):
The foam on top is super delicate 🫧, and the dried lemon slices look great in photos 😻.
The blend of lemon and coffee is very well done—neither flavor overpowers the other, and it’s a stellar combo!
(I’m really afraid of Sicilian coffee being too sour.)
☕️ Cappuccino ($150):
They ask if you want cinnamon powder when ordering, and it has a creamy and delicious texture.
Served in a really cool irregular cup!
🍮 Caramel Pudding ($120):
The daily desserts are written on a small sign on the right side of the counter.
This pudding, from the fresh cream on top to the pudding itself and the caramel sauce, is absolutely delicious! The pudding is light with a rich egg flavor, and it’s quite a generous portion.
🍄
Would I come back? Yes!
I really love this place!
They also have options for full meals and light bites. I’ll definitely come back to dine here next time 🍽️

Located in Tianmu, this old house café is hidden on the second floor of a residential building. The comfortable dining environment alone is definitely worth a visit.
The café retains the original materials of the old house's brick and tile walls. The loft has been opened up, and the triangular roof has been painted pure white, with original wooden posts dividing the space. The existing loft windows allow light to flood the interior, making the overall space very bright and airy. Even the pebble flooring has been preserved, making the design of the café's space nearly perfect. 💯
Even the restroom space is well thought out; when you pull open the sliding door, you enter a small garden area. The path is laid with gravel and wooden planks, with scattered green foliage guiding you to the restroom. Upon opening the restroom door, you’ll find a raw concrete interior adorned with simple yet unpretentious decorations, making even a restroom visit a relaxing sensory experience.
This exquisite, comfortable, and simple dining environment is definitely worth experiencing in person. I give it a full score ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As for the meals, there is a variety of coffee drinks to choose from, as well as the café's own single-origin hand-brewed coffee available in light to medium-dark roasts.
The highly recommended items on their menu are the "Mini Croissant Set" and the "Platter Big Breakfast." If you have a smaller appetite, I recommend the Mini Croissant, as it's light and won't leave you overly full. If you prefer a heartier meal, you must try their Platter Big Breakfast!

In addition to the comfortable dining environment and coffee options, they have an adorable café dog 🐶. It looks like it’s a bit older, but it's not shy at all and interacts with customers. As soon as you play with it, it gets excited and runs back and forth wagging its tail, which is incredibly cute! Just be careful as it might try to jump up to snatch any food (still adorable).

You can tell that the entire café exudes a bright, open, generous, and soulful atmosphere. The café dog and the potted green plants scattered around add vitality to the café.
Just looking at photos doesn't do it justice, as they cannot fully capture the atmosphere. I highly recommend everyone to come and visit! Whether you come for brunch, afternoon tea, reading, or working on your computer, it's perfect for all of those activities!
