I passed by Anping on business at noon. I looked for a coffee shop in the afternoon and then came to Shikenmo to rest. The store is not located in an old neighborhood, but close to the Yizaijincheng area. There are relatively few tourists, and it is relatively quiet if you want to work.

We arrived at about 3 o'clock, and there was only one room for two people left. There are two four-person sofa seats and two two-person sofa seats in the store, and the internal area is not large. The store has a large section dedicated to coffee beans (the store can help roast the beans and customize them, so if you are interested, you can check out their website).

The store does not carry Japanese sketches, but is more American-style. The volume of the music inside is moderate, which is white noise level for me. It is very comfortable to sit for long periods of time and is recommended for those who want to work alone.

No meals provided.

For drinks, I ordered the Ice American and the Pomelo-flavored Ice American. The beans are lightly roasted and have low acidity, but a more pronounced bitter taste. For the grapefruit flavor, we use grapefruit paste with particles and pulp, which is just right in the American-style base without being too sweet. But next time I will try something with milk (latte, kabob). The store also has a variety of hand-brewed brews. If you are like me, I will pass first.

Shikenmo's coffee has its own characteristics and there are many choices. The interior environment is also very good. It is a good store that I will pay a special visit next time I pass by this area.

I happened to have lunch nearby and came here to play with the cat and drink coffee. I originally wanted to try the bamboo charcoal latte, but then I chose the Americano. I was surprised that 12 oz was only NT$50 and 16 oz was NT$70.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw the very calm and unafraid shop cat. Unexpectedly, there were only 4 tables inside. Fortunately, most of the people today did not wait long, and the seats were quickly available.

The coffee was served quickly, but their American style tastes a bit bitter to me. If you don’t like the bitter taste, you can order the Pomelo-flavored American style. My friend said it is like Starbucks’ pomelo cold brew, with a bit of sweet pulp. Neutralizes the bitter taste of coffee.

I worked here for 2 hours today. The height of the tables and chairs is very comfortable, and there are sockets and WiFi. The high ceilings and lighting in the store add a lot to the atmosphere of the store, and my work efficiency feels better!

If you have the opportunity to go shopping in Anping and get tired, you can come and take a rest (playing with cats)😺
