Fourth Credit Union — Restaurant in Taichung

Fourth Credit Union, an extension of the renowned Myahara store, offers a distinctive experience that sets it apart from its parent establishment. While it may have a smaller retail area compared to the main store, it compensates with a spacious sitting area that is both inviting and comfortable. This unique feature addresses a common concern for customers who frequent Myahara – the need for a place to enjoy their treats in leisure. What truly makes Fourth Credit Union stand out is its innovative use of the location's past life as a bank. The presence of the vault door adds an element of intrigue and nostalgia, allowing patrons to enjoy their ice cream in a setting that feels both secure and unique. The juxtaposition of indulging in creamy delights next to a bank vault door is an experience worth trying. One of the highlights of Fourth Credit Union is its open showcasing of the waffle-making process. This transparency engages customers and offers a tantalising glimpse into the craftsmanship that goes into creating the delectable waffle cones used for the ice cream. It's a delightful and educational experience for those who appreciate the art behind the sweet treats they enjoy.In summary, Fourth Credit Union may have a smaller retail area. Still, it makes up for it with a welcoming sitting area, a unique ambience rooted in its banking past, and a captivating waffle-making showcase. For those seeking a memorable and engaging ice cream experience, this outlet of the Myahara store is...

Same owners of Miyahara. The owners seem to have thing for turning historical buildings into dessert havens. Here, you queue to order then find a seat (they've got 3 floors of seating here). They require a min spend of NTD100 per person for dine in and it's pretty easy to hit that spend.

I got a 2 scoop sundae where I get to choose 2 scoops of ice cream (some premium flavours have a surcharge) and it came in a waffle bowl with default snack toppings (Lemon White Chocolate Langues de Chat and Butterfly Palmiers) and I still get to choose 2 more snack toppings of my choice (I went for the mini cheesecake and native pineapple tart 17号土凤梨酥).

For the ice cream I went for the 月朦胧乌朦胧 Mt Ali Oolong Tea with Osmanthus & 66% Caraibe Nutty Mocha. They've got really interesting names for their tea flavours, would have to make another trip to try a few others. They also threw in a baby scoop of the kyoho grape flavour so I got to try 3 in this seating. The tea one didn't impressed though, wasn't strong enough, didn't quite taste the tea. Similarly the kyoho grape was also so-so only. I did enjoy the Caraibe Nutty Mocha very much.

This dessert cost me NTD270 but it's well worth every cent and the 30 mins queue, from the plating to the taste and ambience. The generous toppings is a major plus too, the Butterfly Palmier especially, so crisp, so buttery, so fragrant. I wanted to buy a box back but unfortunately it comes only in a big box and not individually...

I don’t usually write reviews, especially if they’re negative, but I felt compelled to share my experience. Unfortunately, the service we received was disappointing. The attendant spoke incredibly quickly, almost as if he were rapping, which made it difficult to understand. As someone who isn’t a native Chinese speaker, when I politely asked him to repeat himself, his response was dismissive and rude—he simply said “never mind” and brushed us off.

Additionally, despite being clear in our order, it was prepared incorrectly. We chose not to make a fuss and accepted it to avoid further inconvenience. There was also no introduction to the available options, and the attendant asked about free topping option in an impatient manner. I even had to request that he slow down so we could understand him better, which felt unnecessary.

Overall, it was a highly disappointing experience. The customer service attitude and approach were far below bare minimum, especially considering we made an effort to remain polite and spoke in Chinese. It’s frustrating when subpar service detracts from what should have been an...
