暗室微光（店休日以粉絲專頁當月公告爲主🪧） — Restaurant in Hsinchu

A corner café I keep coming back to, not just for the coffee, but for the quiet kind of comfort it brings.

The espresso and pour-over have been consistently good—smooth, balanced, and brewed with a steady hand. Even for someone who doesn’t usually drink coffee, their drinks are easy to love. The iced latte to-go had a surprisingly thick and silky milk foam, which lingered in the best way.

Tried their honey fig tart—layered thoughtfully, letting the original textures and flavors speak for themselves. The berry tart had a cookie-like base that added the perfect crunch, and the strawberry cake was soft, light, and refreshing—though the cream might feel a bit much for some. Still, the cake base had a lovely fragrance, the kind that reminds you of childhood birthday parties.

The matcha au lait was another pleasant surprise—not overly sweet, even at light sugar, with a matcha flavor that felt calm rather than overpowering.

What makes the place even more special is the atmosphere—plenty of sunlight filtering in through the windows, music that quietly sets the tone, and staff who smile like they mean it. They’re polite, warm, and attentive, even during busy hours, and they go out of their way to make sure everyone finds a seat.

There’s no time limit, and some seats even have outlets, but it’s best to arrive before 1 p.m. if you want a spot without waiting. Perfect for a slow afternoon with a book, a bit of work, or just your own thoughts.

A place that doesn’t try too hard to impress—because it...

Atmospheric coffee shop with delicious cakes and friendly staff. Located in a block of rundown historic buildings this shop doesn’t look like much until you get close. Once inside you’ll find a relaxing cosy environment with an interesting choice of drinks and cakes. I had the sicilian lemon coffee and a fresh fruit cake with cherries and strawberries. Both were delicious, however the cake wasn’t just good it was exceptional. The staff were friendly and I’m sure I’ll be returning to try their other cakes.

Note that the coffee shop opens until 7pm and is fairly small so space is limited. If coming by car you’ll need to park in the department store...

歐某～真的好久沒吃到這麼讓我驚艷的甜點店了喔！飲料和甜點一人一份真的是不夠欸 😏這間店的裝潢有點像新式老屋的感覺 木質的裝潢給人一種舒適愜意的港覺 很像在家裡很溫暖很幸福😍

布朗尼$100🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕 這個我超愛 而且竟然再最後一刻又多點了一塊 真的夭壽 😂 這麼大塊才100元 cp值超級高的 巧克力味超級重 而且蛋糕體的濕度剛剛好 不會很粘膩 這大概是我目前吃過數一數二的布朗尼 搭配一顆堅果 簡單卻不平凡

#鐵觀音蜜柑紅柿$130🌕🌕🌕🌖 這個很特別 身為柿子愛好者的我 真的不會錯過這個甜點 第一次吃到關於柿子的甜點超級特別 而且搭配鐵觀音的蛋糕體非常適合 再加上旁邊點綴微焦的柿子 更突顯的柿子最原汁的甜 柿子控一定要來試試
