This neat-looking corner cafe doubles as a bicycling club, thanks to owner and cycling enthusiast Terry Lin, who keeps several of his high-end riding machines around the cafe. Other cycling-related touches include a long post outside for visiting riders to hang their bikes from, round glass tables made from bicycle wheels and door handles made from bike components. The relaxing, modern decor also features a long white-topped coffee bar, chic white and red velvet chairs (30 seats inside and 30 outside), and dark wood with white highlights. The music includes jazz, Latin, bossa nova and salsa. Visitors get wi-fi Internet access, too. Italian illy coffee beans are used to brew up an extensive selection of coffees and other creations, including a NT$90 Espresso, NT$100 Espresso Macchiato or Romano, NT$150 Mexican Mocha Cappuccino or, for ice cream lovers, a Cappuccino Sorbetto (NT$140). Other drinks include juices and a good variety of Belgian beers (NT$150-200), such as Chimay, Floris and Duvel. For food, are NT$70 desserts like cheese cake, the Sacher Torte and biscotti, with sandwiches, power bars and other cycling energy foods coming soon. The cafe is at the corner of DaYing and DaDun 13th streets, near the Dadun/GongYi roads intersection. The entrance to DaDun 13th Street is directly opposite the Tainan Danzu Noodle Restaurant on DaDun Road.
