突奌咖啡喵 is an Italian-style cafe with resident cats on Fuzhou Road in Zhongli District, Taoyuan City, and one of the longest-running cat cafes in the area. Its cats have grown old with the cafe: they spend much of the day lounging and napping in their beds around the room, but they still keep guests company and are a gentle, low-key presence rather than an attraction to be chased. The spacious, carefully decorated dining room serves coffee and other drinks alongside pasta, lasagne, thin-crust pizza, risotto, chicken wings, waffles, crème brûlée and cakes. Visits are limited to two hours when busy, there is no service charge, and payment is cash only. Last orders are taken at 6 PM, and dishes may sell out earlier.
