30 years of persistence can be seen from the siphon pot! The old-school coffee shop where movie stars started.

Turning from the busy Roosevelt Road to a smaller street, although there are still people coming and going, the urban flavor here has instantly faded, and the human touch seems to have become stronger. Here is Jingmei, which hides an old-school coffee shop. It is only a two-minute hike from Taipei MRT Jingmei Station.

Wenshan's own roasting Cafe, low-key located in Jingmei Street, is a well-known old shop and a classic cafe admired by many coffee lovers. It not only has a long history, but also has a long history. From the design of the space in the store, it is not difficult to feel the charm of the story:

Wenshan Cafe was originally founded by well-known actor Lu Yijing in 1983 under the name of "reciting the name of Lu Shang". At the age of 30, it was accidentally discovered by director Tsai Ming-Liang and starred in "what points on your side" and other films that were shortlisted or even won prizes at many film festivals. At present, there are many film posters performed by Lu Yijing, with mottled European-style retro wallpaper and antique table and chair table lamps. And actor Lu Yijing's book "No. 19 Jingzhong Street" is also the address of Wenshan Cafe. It seems that the cafe has experienced ups and downs.

Until more than five years ago, Wenshan Cafe was taken over by Mr. Cao, a coffee fan. from the era when boutique coffee had not yet become a trend, to now the coffee culture is in full bloom. The interior decoration and atmosphere of Wen Shan Coffee have been consistent for many years, a little old-fashioned and a little dark. The style is still persistent, insisting on home-baked coffee beans, siphoning a variety of boutique coffee from Africa, Central and South America and other places, showing a complete variety of aroma, acidity, sweetness, taste and throat rhyme. It is also clearly written on the menu: "because of persistence, cream balls and sugar are not provided", hoping that guests will simply taste the unique flavor of siphon coffee.

The most careful thing is that every cup of coffee served by Wenshan Coffee is served in pots and equipped with coffee cups, so that friends who come to drink coffee together can exchange and share the unique flavor of all kinds of coffee. The door opens at 1pm every day and there is an endless stream of loyal customers who come for coffee and beans. Implement the temperature of hand flushing, 30 years of persistence, from the siphon coffee pot to understand!
