花舞貓咖啡 is a small, quiet cafe at the end of a dead-end lane off Wuquan South Road in Taichung's South District, near National Chung Hsing University. Its cats live semi-free-roaming lives, wandering in and out of the cafe and along the lane, so sightings vary; they tend to gather in the late afternoon, when the owner puts out their food. Visitors may play with them using the wand toys provided, but should not pick them up or feed them. There is no time limit, seats have power sockets, and the cafe suits studying, small gatherings and handicraft classes, with private rooms available to rent. Prices are modest: coffee from award-winning beans, homemade bread and snacks, tea, and a growing range of savoury dishes.
