Drinks include a light-roast Sicilian coffee with adjustable sweetness, osmanthus latte, matcha latte and cocoa latte, and the cakes include Basque cheesecake, lemon tart filled to order, chiffon cake and Showa-style pudding. The room is spacious but has few tables, and on weekends stays are limited to 90 minutes when it is busy. Motorbikes can park at the door, while car parking nearby is tight.

喵喵烘焙
Taichung City1.7 mi / 2.7 km
喵喵烘焙 is a cat cafe and bakery on Beishi East Road in Shalu District, Taichung, close to Providence University and HungKuang University. It moved into larger premises in August 2026, with cat areas on the ground floor and in the basement, and is home to around fourteen cats of all sizes, including a Maine Coon. Being a small cafe, it is easy to get close to the cats, and staff hand out a few treats so guests can feed them. Shoes are removed at the entrance. Entry is NT$120 per person for two hours, which does not count towards food, plus a NT$100 minimum spend. The menu offers brunch sets, handmade cookies, cat-shaped desserts, lemon tarts and drinks, with refills on hot drinks. Bookings are taken online.
青牛咖啡館
Taichung City1.8 mi / 2.9 km
Qingniu Cafe (青牛咖啡館) is a reservation-only cafe in a residential lane at 22 Lane 683, Section 1, Zhongyang Road in Wuqi District, on the Taichung coast. The owner has taken in about sixteen stray cats, and they live in the cafe, with litter trays tucked around the room but little smell. The cats are well fed, mostly friendly and keen to climb into laps, so sitting on a camp chair is a good way to attract one. The owner chats about how each cat came to the cafe and offers cat snacks for guests to buy. Seating is small, so booking is required. The minimum is one drink, around NT$100, and visitors can stay a long time when it is quiet. The menu has coffee, brownies, cakes and yogurt drinks.

橘光呼嚕X背包Cat is a long-running rescue (halfway-house) cat cafe that has moved from Tunghai Art Street to new premises in a lane off Yongfu Road in Xitun District, Taichung. The new building separates people from cats: the ground floor is the dining room, the second floor is home to the healthy cats, and the third floor houses cats receiving ongoing care, some of them older cats or ones prone to colds. A large group of cats lives here, and many become friendly once offered a lickable treat. There is a NT$150 minimum spend per person, ordering is by QR code at the table, and Wi-Fi is available. The menu covers brunch, waffles, pasta, curry, cakes and drinks at gentle prices. Seating is limited, so booking online is recommended.

先龍覺醒貓咪咖啡廳
Taichung City6 mi / 10 km
先龍覺醒貓咪咖啡廳 is a bright cat cafe on Section 3 of Liming Road in Xitun District, Taichung. Sunlight pours through a glass roof onto cat trees and rope climbing frames that run up to the bookshelves, and a group of clean, friendly pedigree cats spends the day playing, climbing and napping in a dedicated cat area, which guests enter for a small extra fee. There is no time limit on time with the cats, which makes it popular with families: children can play with the cats while parents relax. The cafe is also laptop-friendly and has a meeting room that can be rented. Coffee, light meals and snacks are served, and staff are chatty and welcoming.
