very disappointing experience. at the entrance staff asked if we had wanted an outdoor sofa seating and told us to wait indoors right at the entrance as the outdoor seat will be freed up shortly. they further took and served our order at the indoor seat while constantly assuring us that they will move us outdoor once the seat is available. in the end the table (whom the waiters thought were leaving) stayed on much longer and we pretty much ended up getting our tea and snacks at the seat that wasnt the most ideal for us. the staff probably didn’t expect that customer to stay much longer but they shouldn’t have set such expectation to incoming customers if they have no control over the situation. we would have gone to another cafe if the seat was not available.

Read moreSo many rules to eat at the place😅. It kinda made the experience awkward.
They have bunch of fees and rules (ex. Have to order minimum of around 200 NT per person to eat here, you can only sit at certain spot if you order above certain amount).

Overall the food was okay but the experience was a little awkward for non fluent Chinese speaker (could be on us for not speaking Chinese well🥲).
I recommend the restaurant put up a big sign with all the rules and regulations at the entrance for clearer communication in the future.
They have spectacular view though....

They demonstrated how to prepare the tea and then you can self serve and it seems like it’s unlimited refills on hot water. I sat here making and drinking my tea, taking in the ambience. Felt like I could do this for forever. The shade provided a nice respite from the hot weather. The tea flavored beer and desserts were nice too. I traveled alone too and they were very welcoming and accommodating! This place seemed popular and had a lot of guests. Overall, I had a great experience here and would recommend this...
