The dishes are full of creativity, and the flavor combinations of the ice products, such as High Mountain Oolong with plum honey, bring out a unique taste that leaves a lasting impression. The tea flavors are rich, and the special blends like osmanthus oolong are well-balanced, perfect for tea lovers.
The environment is good, divided into first and second floor areas. The first floor is slightly crowded, but the second floor is quiet and comfortable, suitable for long seating. On weekday afternoons, it's about 80% full, and on weekends, it's usually fully occupied by regular customers.
The staff is highly efficient and can patiently serve even with many customers, demonstrating good quality.
There is a famous ice cream shop in Taichung, the branch of Gongyuan Ophthalmology. Although it is a bit farther from the Taichung train station, there are seats available for dining inside! On weekday afternoons, the store is about 80% full, and it's often fully booked on weekends.
The minimum spend is $100 per person, which can be combined, and there is no time limit for dining in.
They have an extensive variety of ice cream flavors. Besides the common ones like fruit, tea, and chocolate, there are also special flavors. If you show a student ID, you can get a free scoop, which is a great deal (✪ω✪)!
Most people who come here end up upgrading to a sundae, which includes a waffle cup, butterfly cookies, and toppings (two types), along with a small scoop of lemon ice cream. It’s sweet and tangy, and has a somewhat sandy texture.
This time, I chose flavors like green tea, yellow moon on a hazy night (osmanthus and oolong tea), and shining days (Assam black tea, rosemary, lavender). The sweetness of all the flavors is within an acceptable range. Their tea flavors are very rich, so tea lovers definitely need to order those. So far, I haven’t encountered any duds with pure tea flavors. The special flavor of osmanthus oolong is quite a common combination, and it balances floral and tea aromas very well. However, the shining days flavor has a stronger spice taste, which I didn’t particularly like.
"My friend said I absolutely have to eat at this restaurant; it's a must-visit place in Taichung." by me, who excitedly came along.

<About the environment🐾>
+4.5⭐️
The environment is divided into two floors. The first floor has a dining area and an ordering area; I think the flow is okay, but it can get a bit chaotic when there are a lot of people.
The second floor is purely a dining area, which is quieter compared to the first floor, comfortable for sitting for a long time, and it's nice to bring someone along.
