A coffee date this afternoon at a kissaten 喫茶店. This particular cafe has been in business for 80 years which means that when Japanese imperialists were occupying Taiwan, they likely drank here too.

A kissaten is a Japanese style cafe that serves fine coffee, tea and desserts. The one we went to roasts their own beans on the first floor and has a cafe on the upper floors. I love how they kept to the style of the time with wood paneling, fine china and period decor all over.

The coffee was good too. I got the light roast which was fruit forward and very light in the mouth. Not what I normally drink. The others got the house dark roast which is closer to the usual coffee we drink but definitely more complex.
