Nomad day café — Restaurant in Yuchi Township

In summary come here, if you have the extra cash to splurge a little bit more on eating out come here!! This is for the people who love that coffee, pastries and easy jazz type of atmosphere. If you're looking for cheap heavy junk food, maybe this isn't the right place for you. However, the experience it offers is so much more if you have the time and a bit more money to spare.

*Today's visit situation. A relaxing coffee shop but it's still mostly filled with customers at that time. We were a small group of five people, hungry and tired after a couple-hour trip.

This place was way more than what I could have personally asked for with the amazing service, food/ drink, and atmosphere. In terms of service, for any foreign traveler you will be welcomed with a very warm and curious ( none overwhelming) staff, and with very good conversational english. At the time of arrival the restaurant was still mostly occupied and we were politely requested to sit at the waiting area, and in a short time they were able to accommodate us. That is when one of the stuff recognized us from being there a couple of days before and we all had a short conversation about how have we been and following up with taking our orders. Throughout the exchange their recommendations and services were excellent.

The food and drinks we're amazing, both visually beautiful and delicious. The arrangement on the plates was so well assembled that there is some regret to displacing anything. And in terms of flavor, such a diverse range of flavor from the mellow smoke chicken to the herbal bread, and refreshing vegetable and fruit arrangement. For the brown sugar latte, there was just the right amount of strong coffee flavors mellowing out with the milk and ending with the sweetness of the brown sugar, it's what I needed after a long day out in the Sun. And the Hidden Gem was their black tea pound cake, a lightly sweetened cake with strong favors from the local tea, finding a mixture of the tea's earthly tones finishing with hints of nuts and subtle sweetness. What makes it their Hidden Gem, was their play on a warm slice of pound cake with a chilled special black tea like sauce on top, spectacular. However, I think the most surprising thing about the food was how quickly it was prepared considering the arrangement and the flavors.

Lastly, I couldn't wish for a better atmosphere with easy coffee shop vibes consisting of mellow natural rustic decoration, easy jazz cover songs and even a small bookshelf consisting of some literature about cooking, coffee and other subjects (be advised they are in different languages with some English). Just the drinks and atmosphere alone would have convinced me to come more often to this place.

Without question, next time I'll be around the neighborhood I will stop by this Cafe, a hidden gem of the...

I had the pleasure of visiting this café twice during my 2-day stay at Sun Moon Lake, and both experiences were exceptional. From the moment I walked in, I felt a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made me want to return. Their dirty chai is truly a standout—by far the best I’ve ever tasted, even compared to all the places I've been to in Taipei. The flavors were perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of spice and richness that kept me coming back for more. On top of that, I tried their sous vide chicken, which was nothing short of amazing. It was tender, flavorful, and carefully prepared, making it a dish I’d highly recommend to anyone visiting.

One of the most memorable parts of my experience was meeting Anne, who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Not only did she share great recommendations on what to see and try around Sun Moon Lake, but she also showed incredible kindness when I had an unfortunate mishap with my passport. She took the time to assist me, even going out of her way to help when she really didn’t have to. Her kindness and genuine care added a personal touch to an already wonderful experience.

I’m incredibly grateful for the time I spent at this café, not just for the food and drinks, but for the amazing people like Anne who made my stay even more memorable. I will definitely be back the next time I’m in the area, and I can’t wait to recommend this gem of a café to all my friends. It’s places like this that make...

The whole village is packed with greasy salty MSG food. All the restaurants look the same, serving the same food. And then there's the Nomad Day café.

They will welcome you in their really nice atmosphere, nicely decorated, spotless clean, cool greeny terrasse or cozy interior, and serve you an amazing brunch where every flavour is just right and plates are balanced. The music is original and relaxing, not too loud and add up to the homie atmosphere. They really care about the service and food they offer. They care about/for their customers. Almost everything is homemade. I'm guessing only the baguette is bought outside. Yes because they use baguette to make the pain perdu, French for "French toast", of course as a Frenchman, I appreciate this tribute to our culture, and that's how pain perdu should be made, real bread, not "toast" which is really not French at all. The food is all so great. I asked during the order if they could remove the duck breast fat, and the lady was really kind to ask the kitchen staff to remove it for me. It's usually really hard in Taiwan to get any kind of "customisation", harder than any country I have visited actually, so I'm grateful! Thank you for this moment, and thank you fo being in Shuishe and breaking the food monotony. I'd recommand the place to absolutely anyone. And thank you for your...
