Recommended 12 specialty cafes in Taiwan

There are so many coffee shops in Taiwan. The editorial department of the World visited Taiwan and selected 12 cafes worth exploring one by one to add a few more strokes to your pocket list.

1. Wenshan's own roasting Cafe

Zhu Shaolin's Song of sad Coffee Shop is the common memory of many people. Twenty years ago, she wrote the best-selling 500000-volume novel based on Wen Shan Coffee. Up to now, the cafe still retains the appearance of the time, with wooden tables and chairs revealing the years.

On the wall, the big poster of Tsai Ming-Liang's film "what points on your side" bears the signatures of Lu Yijing and other major actors, and Lu Yi-Jing is the founder of Wenshan Cafe, where he met director Tsai Ming-Liang and went on to act.

In this coffee shop, which has a history of more than 30 years, in addition to sipping coffee, you can also hear the sound of coffee beans baked by the rear owner and the incessant aroma of coffee. (Bai Shiyu)

two。 I'll give it to you after crossing 9,000 kilometers.

Does life and soul need to be washed? "I'll give it to you across 9,000 kilometers" is a fantasy space for office workers who are used to listening to light music and talking about business in a chain of coffee shops.

Open the yellow store like a container, this space, which combines coffee and laundry service, is leaking rhythmic music. You can follow the hallway to the end and throw the laundry for a week into the self-service washing machine.

The picture on the wall is a girl spinning in the washing machine, as if to remind you that your heart should be refreshed. So, pick a couch and sit down for a cup of coffee, and let the bomb-shaped electronic clock, Captain America and Spiderman dolls hang on the chandelier to guide you through time and space and relieve stress.

3. Moooon River Cafe & Books

Is this a coffee shop or a library? the five-meter-high white baroque arcade in the Moooon River book and food space, and the large floor-to-ceiling bookcases full of walls, make people seem to walk into the scene of Raphael's famous painting "Academy of Athens".

If you like the bright and open space, choose the flannelette high-backed chair in the middle aisle; if you want to whisper secretly, designate the red skin sofa area against the wall. The menu pasted by hand with the original paperwork was a pleasant surprise.

Moooon River even promised to donate 5% of the income every month to buy school supplies such as sports or art and give them to children in need to encourage them to pursue their interests bravely. It turns out that consumption is not only about appetite, but also a journey of the soul. (Liu Guangying)

4. Paloser's own roasting coffee shop

On Saturday afternoon, I walked through the botanical garden and arrived at Paloser Coffee, where I found a corner echoing the tranquil aroma of coffee in the west of Taipei. This place has long been a must for coffee professional critics. Hsu Chi-tung, a blogger who has tasted coffee all over Taiwan, even said that "everything is perfect."

The operator provides beans from different producing areas such as Panama and Costa Rica, which are baked at home, and guests can choose to brew them by siphon, hand-brewing, or just order a cup of Italian coffee that you feel most comfortable. What a leisurely afternoon with a novel and a collection of poems on the wall. (Xie Mingling)

5.a Room Room

A Room Room Coffee is an old house surrounded by green vegetation hidden in the intricate alleys of Tainan. The garden is small, with white iron chairs in the park, retro iron tables and chairs scattered, and tramps hanging around. Across the courtyard, there is a short slate road leading to the interior. I look around and see the desks and chairs of primary school, as well as a large area of rusty iron windows.

Clasping the driftwood-shaped handle and pushing open the door, I looked up to see undisguised mottled red brick walls, wine cabinets made of driftwood, wooden tables and chairs with warm pillows and cushions, and old-fashioned electric fans blowing. In a Room, it is in the memory of the old times to taste the taste of the old times. (Cheng Yanling)

6. Exaggerated ancient understand the coffee shop

The only clerk in the whole store is the landlady, which is exaggerated; square televisions with drawers, chandeliers, lace curtains and comedians are exaggerated; Datong dolls, model Visa locomotives, and even popular Hello Kitty dolls are exaggerated.

Lacquered upright wooden cupboards, green rusty old fans, old wooden tables and stone washing floors, dazzling old-style collections make people think that they have returned to Mammy's house in the countryside, and Grandpa is waiting for the tea table to boil and drink tea to enjoy the cool.

The lively Renai Road is nearby, but it makes you fall back to Taiwan in the 1950s and smell the coffee. This is the most exaggerated, beautiful but real dream. (Hong Weifang)

7. Offline coffee

The warm yellow light climbed up the high red brick warehouse wall, and the movie posters and the novels and essays published by Erya and Zhiwen were respectively faint.

When interviewing May Day's European and American tour in London in February last year, she asked bassist Martha why she opened "Offline offline Coffee" in Huashan Art and Culture Special Zone. As a result, he once went to the Legislative Yuan with the guitarist Monster to support the name correction of live house (Live Music performance Space). Because he wanted to actually understand the crux of Taiwan's operation of live house, "if you don't do it yourself, it seems that you have no reason or qualification to tell people that you are wrong." "

Well, it's really a Wenqing cafe full of rock spirit. (Ma Yuelin)

8. Morikoohii Coffee

Morikoohii is actually Japanese for Mori (forest) plus Koohii (coffee). When it comes to Chiayi, people always think of Alishan, and when they think of Alishan, they think of cypress distribution centers. Now, at the foot of Alishan, there is a whole Japanese-style architectural settlement made of juniper trees. Transformed from the staff dormitory of the Forest Service during the Japanese occupation, Mori Coffee was born in such a Japanese atmosphere.

Under the dizzy yellow light of Sen Coffee, it highlights the warmth of wooden buildings. In the afternoon, the sun shines on the Japanese garden outside the window, leisurely place to make a cup of Alishan coffee, or the sign "White Ice Diamond". Experience a cup of authentic Japanese nostalgic atmosphere. (Cheng Yanling)

10. Uncut Stone Cafe

This is a wonderful story about the sparks between Taipei and Hualien. Wang Yuping, director of the planning department of Eslite Bookstore, walks out of the cosmopolitan comfort zone to create a gentle revolutionary base that belongs to the mountains and the sea.

Radiating from this base are humanistic seeds cut in the cultural desert, hand-created works encouraged in the era of consumption, and field trips that have long been lost in urban civilization. This base has produced countless short stories, and there will be more gentle revolutions here in the future. (he is honored)

twelve。 Red brick house with hundred fruit trees

Huang Chunming no longer needs to explain to Ilan. Huang Chunming's coffee shop is no longer necessary for arts and children's interests. This cultural salon, located next to the Diudang Forest in Ilan, formerly known as the "Ilan Rice Valley Inspection Office", is the most suitable for parent-child fun and Wenqing treasure hunt.

Adults appreciate Huang Chunming's works, children listen to stories told by the Huang Dayu Theater Troupe under a hundred fruit trees, and Wen Qing feels homesickness belonging to Ilan. And the strong human feelings of Ilan in Taiwan no longer need to waste breath. (he is honored)
