山丘 SUNCHILL ｜山丘咖啡（ 大同區咖啡廳｜淺烘焙咖啡專賣｜單品手沖專賣｜海鹽奶油捲專賣｜可麗露專賣） — Restaurant in Datong District

good day today

after otaru found myself at sunchill when thor is hammering down a deluge mid-afternoon & en route to mrt one crosses path as one does with these urban oases wherein one sustains oneself via latté & pastry

upon entry a warm embracing draft hugs you -- great on this chilly thundery noah's flood of a day

i order myself a matcha

sit down to re-center

& delighting in subtle & noted of this green oxidant-rich elixir

you ever get into a space -- a gallery Zaha Hadid's house & you feel every lamp & candle holder every throw was never just thrown together

sure enough -- the cups -- made of recycled grounds & designed in Australia & the matcha like all the teas come through an exporter in Japan

Oatside oat milk & regular milk from a boutique dairy

barista worked in a Japanese café & struck out on his own with his partner in what is described as Japanese & Nordic decor & ambiance space below in other reviews

just add blondes at towering heights for faux-Stockholm syndrome & we Sunchill's happy captives

seriously throw in an airbnb upstairs & this is the hideaway mid-datong & just north of that tourist area that couples & like to be pampered travellers would flock to like so many design geeks would

gentle & genteel folk music in background

what's that tiktok trend "i'm sat" ?

this is the Robert Pattinson - Alexander Skarsgard (actual Swede) - Timothée...

A new coffee shop just opened up at our work neighborhood. I just cant contain my excitement. It has a Japanese/ Nordic modern clean design with all white and wood texture. Everything is brand spanking new! Worth checking out.

Pros: clean, spacious, plenty of daylight coming in from their large glass window, good coffee, simple & clean menu, simple snacks/ sweets are available, cute and clean presentation

Cons: May not be ideal for those who are looking to have savory food, portions are on the tinier side but perfect for those who just want to lightly snack and care...

Another cafe in Taipei that is too expensive for what it is.

It's a simple place, bare wood décor, and you can get a decent coffee.

It's nothing special, and the vibe is average. Yet the price suggests it's very special.

If you wanna pay a lot for a coffee, there are nicer cafes nearby.

Seems like the price doesn't match...
