圖寞癮咖啡小酒館 ToTheMoooon
New Taipei City2.5 mi / 4.0 km
圖寞癮咖啡小酒館 ToTheMoooon is a cafe and bar on Lane 92, Yonghe Road Section 2, in Yonghe District, New Taipei City, near Dingxi MRT station. Its second floor, the Black Cat Loft (黑貓閣樓), bills itself as Taiwan's first cafe devoted entirely to black cats, while the ground floor is a cat-free area for people who prefer to keep their distance. The black cats tend to be shy and spend much of the day asleep, so patience is rewarded, and cat food can be bought to win them over. Service is largely self-service. Weekend visits should be booked ahead by phone, as same-day bookings aren't taken and walk-ins queue for free seats. The menu includes lasagna, small pizzas, pour-over coffees, the house milk tea and herbal teas, plus drinks in the evening.
