LOWCA — Restaurant in Taichung

Really different Brunch store which mixes Taiwanese Breakfast Cuisine + European Tasty + Unique Method.

It’s been a while that I have been fancying this place and I had the amazing opportunity to enjoy few days ago. Actually, I have been there twice because it is really good and now I live just few minutes away by walking. And the environment and the design of the place really comfortable and pretty to our eyes.

FOOD: Everything extremely good. The omelette pancake was really full of ingredients and the cinnamon cappuccino has not only an unique taste, but also a really beautiful presentation. Also a plus for the steamed bun with peanuts (so delicious).

MENU: Many options and also written in English. A nice plus for foreigners.

SERVICE: All the staffs were friendly and could explain in English to me.

PRICE: This time I paid 315NTD (Pancake, Peanut Butter Bun and Cold Latte)

Wondering now when I will go...

There are four different salty meals as main treats for you to choose. There are also four kinds of covers for you to choose to contain the salty meal: Taiwanese omelet, steamed bread, fried steamed bread, and baguette. With more drinks / coffee latte and deserts for you to order, altogether you may have a tasty brunch with an...

I was staying at INNK hotel next door and was given breakfast voucher and reserved the 9am breakfast slot. Reach cafe at 850am and cafe seems to be very overwhelmed. Service staff not friendly as she is so stressed up. Received first main dish 5mins after sitting down. Drinks were served 15mins later and second main dish served after 30mins. Lettuce and the meat in the bun does not go well together. Drinks served were below average which is soy milk and tea. At the same time while waiting for our food, so many customers coming in. There’s only 2 staff running the whole cafe, do expect longer waiting time even with...
