[2025 Taipei Restaurant] Travel Guide for Alley house coffee (Updated Apr)

#TaipeiZhongshan #NongZhaiCafe #YuanDaFu My bestie told me that a Daifuku store she highly recommends is having a 3rd anniversary promotion, and there is a dessert set for only $890 +1 immediately without saying anything🥰 I searched on Google and found out that the owner of Yuan Da Fu is a Japanese who loves Taiwan. There is no store and no online shopping. There are only occasional flash events on IG🥲 This event is in collaboration with Nong Zhai Cafe The dessert set includes roasted tea mousse pudding, matcha daifuku chestnut Mont Blanc, jasmine tea mixed fruit monaka, Tobadama and strawberry daifuku Paired with Matcha Genmaicha and Tea/Coffee The most amazing thing this time was the strawberry daifuku. It was the first time I tasted daifuku with such a soft and delicate texture. The craftsmanship of the craftsman was amazing! Jasmine tea mixed with fruits and Tobadama (Yokan) are very special Japanese confectionery, changing the stereotype of Japanese confectionery being too sweet. The whole set of desserts uses matcha from Kitagawa Hanbei and Kanbayashi Village Matsumoto store, both of which are century-old shops in Uji, Kyoto. You can fully feel the delicacy and attentiveness! If I have the chance, I will sign up for the 4th anniversary again❤️ A small episode: Genmaicha is mainly used to clear the residual taste in the mouth. I just felt that it was not mentioned when the meal was served, and it was only mentioned when the dessert was served. The sister at the next table was almost finished drinking it 😂 The sister at the next table said that she came during the 2nd anniversary and it was about the same as the 3rd anniversary, and she felt that she had not regressed 👍

Walking into Nong Zhai is like stepping into another world. The noisy city is instantly isolated, leaving only a space with warm wood tones and dim light. After sitting down, a cup of latte was served, and the rich aroma of coffee wafted into the air. The first sip was smooth and mellow, but the aftertaste had a faint nutty aroma that made people unable to help but savor it carefully. The atmosphere in the store is simple yet delicate. The paintings on the wall and the displays on the bookshelves seem to silently tell the story of every visitor. For the snacks, we chose small and exquisite desserts with moderate sweetness, which can give just the right satisfaction to the taste buds when paired with coffee. Every detail here conveys the care for life, allowing people to put down their rush and quietly feel a moment of tranquility. Nong Zhai is not just a coffee shop, it is more like a place for the soul to breathe. #food guide #hipster #coffee #food tour

It's another leisurely afternoon. I had seen this cafe on the Internet before. Finally there weren't many people this time. You can enjoy a moment of peace and quiet. I was surprised that they had a loft. The Japanese tatami seats are quite unique. It is very hidden in the alleyway. This is a 120-year-old house. After renovation, it is designed in Japanese style. At the same time, it is also mixed with the personal style of the boss and the boss's wife. Overall, the environment is very comfortable and I like it very much. You have to take off your shoes before entering. It's really comfortable when you don't need to wear shoes. It is also rare to see coffee shops requiring slippers as entry. Their hand brewed coffee is delicious. Sweet wine pudding 🍮 is also delicious, Not very sweet... Those who like pudding can try it.
