    My friend recommended this place to me, and I was amazed by this secret garden. The environment was so comfy. I feel I could spend the whole afternoon here drinking coffee and chatting with my friends.

    I ordered the iced coffee which was recommended by the Barista. She asked about my preference for coffee and suggested me a fruity flavor of iced coffee. The coffee had this citrus aroma for the aftertaste, very smooth. It was just perfect as black coffee without milk or creamer.
    When I order Iced coffee, I am always afraid of getting a bland taste, but not in this place. The color of the coffee was not dark but the flavor/aroma was there!

    UPDATE:
    This coffee shop is run by a non-profit organization that helps developmental disabilities to learn a living skills.

    I got to talk to the Barista today, and she explained to me the difference between 4 hand drip coffee. Here are my little summarized descriptions.

    Rwanda: Barista said this coffee has the most fruity aftertaste, but it's only when it's hot. Cold coffee kinda washes away the aroma. So try it hot!

    Ethiopia: This is the fruit iced coffee I tried the very first time. See above review.

    Guatemala: I tried this today. Barista said this one is slightly bitter yet with a good chocolate aftertaste. It was very minor of bitterness, and the way I describe the aftertaste will not be chocolate but more of the caramel (burnt sugar in Flan) My favorite so far.

    Colombia: Barista said this one has a stronger chocolate aftertaste. I didn't get to try this time.

    Let me introduce a place that moved me.

    The entrance is Good stewards church. After entering, turn to the right and you can see it.

    Everyone knows the Sunshine Car Wash in Taiwan, right? This cafe is a non-profit organization of the same nature. They will professionally train young people with intellectual and physical disabilities to be baristas.

    I was assigned to work at walnut before, and my colleague said he would take me to drink coffee, but before we went, we went around to buy lunch nearby. At that time, I wanted to ask why my colleague would take me to drink coffee at a place that didn’t sell meals but could also take out food. I was curious about what was so special about it.

    During the drive, I heard my colleagues mention the background of this coffee shop to me, so I came to consume with caring thoughts. Going to the cafe, it turned out to be a church wedding venue. During the week, it was leased by the seesaw public welfare group to open a coffee shop. It is an outdoor environment. Since it is a place where weddings will be held on weekends, it is taken for granted that it is a very cozy and comfortable environment.

    For coffee too! I didn't have any idea, after all, I am a McDonald's coffee can also enjoy people. When I ordered coffee, the barista asked me what kind of coffee I like, and she asked me if I like bitter? Is it still fruity? I chose the fruity iced coffee on demand, and I didn't even know the name... She also told me that each of their coffee beans has a different flavor. I guess this should be the trainer! I understand very well! !

    The coffee took a while to be ready as it was brewed on site. After I drank it, I realized that coffee can have a natural taste in addition to the fake flavors I usually drink.

    I visited again today and asked the barista. The following are the introductions of the four hand-drip coffees.
    Rwanda Rwanda: The barista said that this coffee has a more pronounced fruity aroma, but it can be tasted more when it is served hot. If it is iced coffee, it will dilute the fruity aroma. She suggested drinking it hot. Then I have to try again when the temperature drops sharply.

    Ethiopia: Usually coffee with ice cubes is very weak, but my cup is not heavy in color, and the coffee tastes very fragrant and full. The entrance actually has a little citrus acidity (not the acidity of rotten coffee), and after swallowing, there will be a faint fruity aroma in the mouth, which is very smooth.
    I also specially saved the last some to drink with milk to see if it would go well. The conclusion is that after adding milk, the fruity aroma will be covered, so it is not suitable.

    Guatemala Guatemala: I drank this today. The introduction of the barista is that the entrance is slightly bitter, but the aftertaste will have the aroma of chocolate. After I personally tasted it, I felt that it was slightly bitter in the mouth, but it was not as bitter as Zhengluwan and bitter gourd, and it was slightly bitter. Afterwards, I thought it was an aftertaste like caramel with a bit of caramel. Currently my favorite.

    Colombia: The barista said this has a heavier chocolate aftertaste. But because Colombian coffee is very common, I didn't want to try it this time.

    Today, taking advantage of the heat, I used my body to test whether the outdoor coffee shop will make people drink more and more fire under the high temperature of close to 100 degrees. Conclusion, although it is outside, but because their shed is really big enough, it is very cool without relying on calmness and natural cooling.

    Sitting on the sofa today, there is no layer of dust flying up when sitting, so there is no problem in terms of cleanliness and hygiene, and it is also very comfortable.

    I would like to recommend this place to everyone, I won’t be surprised, not all places that do love are blindfolded and spend money to do love! The price is also close to the people, and the environment is actually super good, which is very suitable for a group of friends to chat there for an afternoon. There is also a sofa to sit on. However, in addition to buying drinks, you may have to bring your own pastries.

    This coffee station is in the Korean church. The environment is very quiet and comfortable. We chatted and drank with the sisters, and spent a wonderful Saturday morning~ We ordered a total of 12 cups of take-out today, and the boss later provided him with a recommendation. Ugandan coffee for us to try, very kind~~~ I will go to sit when I have time~~

    I tried their peach oolong tea and loved it! They have plenty of outdoor seatings (tables, benches, and booths) and what I also liked about this cafe is that I can bring my own food. You just need to purchase their drinks. As long as you get there between 10 am and 2 pm (Tue-Sat), you can grab a drink and use their cafe area!
