Coffee and more — Restaurant in Datong District

For a non-discerning but avid coffee drinker with religious morning caffeine intake routine, even the coffee selection at convenience stores in Taiwan put Starbucks to shame (especially when you factor in price).

So as I was making my way to the nearest 7-11, I stumbled upon Coffee & More tucked away in the quiet neighborhood of Datong district. Its subtle and unassuming outdoor exterior, merely a sign and bench, demarcates the majestic and inviting espresso machine visible through the window pane.

Seats are few inside, but perhaps it was never intended for tourists; the barista mentioned the store had opened in the thick of pandemic two years ago, presumably to cater to neighborhood locals when tourists were almost non-existent (given how strict border control was). Now that the border has opened up, it's perfect for those seeking temporary refuge from the bustling dihua street tourist attraction a few blocks away.

I ordered the Americano + lemonade, which is also called Sicily coffee somewhere else, it was brilliant.

✨ I came here for coffee and work. The café is lovely, but what impressed me most was when they were doing some restroom repairs— was a bit of noise, I didn’t mind,

the owner kindly brought me a “cake” and apologized. So thoughtful and sweet! The coffee is good....
