Magazine contributors who, for the benefit
of their readers, visit all types of establishments-places
which run the gamut of personal appeal for the writer-are
every so often blessed to discover and review a place
that they truly take pleasure in. Whether it be for
its simple-yet-tasteful interior design, its mix of
the modern and artistic, yet unpretentious, comfort,
or its all-things-connected-to-photography focus, Camera
Coffee is just such a place. To increase its allure,
the amiable owner of this cozy cafe, a professional
commercial photographer who goes simply by David, plays
great jazz music and offers an astoundingly delectable
dessert selection, such as an otherworldly French Vanilla
Pudding (NT$60), of which only 10 servings are made
daily. And, of course, as it is a cafe there are a number
of hot and cold coffee drinks on offer, for which you
receive a 10 percent discount if you bring your own
camera. While visiting, you may further feel you are
among friends, as David knows 80 to 90 percent of his
customers by their first names, something that certainly
adds to Camera Coffee's overall appeal. --By Michael
