📍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 🕊️

📍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.
