OR或是甜點咖啡店
OR或是甜點咖啡店 is a late-night dessert cafe on Mingcheng 2nd Road in Sanmin District, Kaohsiung, with three resident cats in its upstairs dining room.

There is a minimum spend of NT$300 per person plus a 10% service charge, and a 100-minute limit when the cafe is full. Guests are asked to keep their voices down. Booking ahead is recommended, especially later in the evening, and whole cakes can be ordered to take away.
