Is it a serious thing to escape the hustle and bustle of the world and eat in a coffee shop?

For professional baristas, please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

Formally, a coffee shop is a commercial space. But spiritually, the coffee shop has a variety of charming styles, tolerates people's wayward waiting for a long time and provides healing meals, just like a hotbed of emotion and creativity. Such a wonderful time and space is like disturbing the small world in the world, where people are redeemed. This time we invite Jin, owner of "delicate antique" and "fragrant Color" restaurant and also a heavy lover of coffee shop, to take us to his favorite restaurant to talk about these "worlds" that he has been fascinated with for many years.

"it's not so much a coffee shop as an oasis of the soul."

Before waiting for dinner in this coffee room, Jin talked about his inextricable bond with the coffee shop.

Most people know him from the impression brought by the antique prop shop "delicate antique" and the restaurant "fragrant color" (those who know him better may know his musical background), but this time we see not only the Jin who loves antique props and cares about the beauty of space, but a person who loves to spend time in a coffee shop. "after work every day, I like to stay in the coffee shop until two o'clock in the morning and then go home. I can go to the coffee shop several times a day for as little as 20 minutes. Staying in a coffee shop can calm me down. " Jin said that he was a special child. When he was in junior high school, all his classmates went to fast food restaurants, but he liked to go to coffee shops to do his writing homework. After high school, he began to watch Shu Guozhi, and he followed in the writer's footsteps to find a store and explore the taste everywhere. And when he traveled to Japan alone in high school, he was so crazy that he could visit eight or nine coffee shops a day. Until now, he counted the stores he had visited over the years, from the early days of Arnoma. 33, Duosong, Klima, black bean workshop, old tree, snow house and other classics, and then to the recent Le Park, Sugar Man, Weiyang and this coffee. It's like taking stock of the history of Taipei coffee shops. "Coffee shop" is a word that Jin can never get tired of reading in his life dictionary. He visits regularly seven days a week, and because he always likes to be alone, the coffee shop has become the most comfortable place for him.

"A mature adult knows how to make himself comfortable."

Find your favorite restaurant, have a good drink and eat, is the most important thing. Even if he attaches great importance to aesthetic details, and his parents are both gluttons, he knows how to eat and choose from his childhood. "he cares about details, except coffee shops." Jin said that some restaurants are shabby and the food is not delicious, but each restaurant has a unique atmosphere, smell and personality, composed of different looks, so it is charming. He prefers to visit the old store, but the coffee behind Daan Station is a new generation of his favorite coffee shop recently. The owner's homemade taco rice (Okinawa name, rice with tomatoes, lettuce and fried minced meat with half-cooked eggs and cheese) and tomato plum juice are the staples of Jin. In addition to carefully prepared food and drinks, the lighting and atmosphere make this room a time and space, which is also the reason why he is attracted. "I like every table with a lamp. The light will make people have sense of security and immerse themselves in their own world."

Another snow house is the old store that Jin visits almost every day from high school, and it is also the place where many creators often stop. The mysterious charm surrounded by the years and the old-school menu are the reasons why we can't give up: dim light with old jazz, not only coffee but also bubbly black tea, flavored edamame beans, stewed beans, chicken nuggets and French fries. Waiting for snacks, there are not only old-school romance, but also memories of youth. Enjoying freely in such a place is perhaps the happiest thing as an adult, and the time and space of a coffee shop has these magic powers.

Experienced musicians, coffee shops and lovers of antique props. Life opened the ancient prop shop "delicate antique" and the creative cuisine restaurant "fragrant color" under the fate meeting. I have a great demand for beauty and love to read space design books. the retro Mercedes-Benz is always full of design books and magazines.

The taco rice of this coffee

Okinawans match the stuffing of Taco with delicacies made from white rice. When you eat, you have to stir well before you have a taste in your mouth. it takes a little skill, but it's very interesting. If you like spice, the curry here is also recommended. If you don't drink coffee like Jin, try tomato and plum juice.
