愚者萬事屋 FooL.VisionS is a late-night coffee house on Zhonghua Road in central Yilan City that pairs house-roasted coffee with tarot, astrology and naming consultations. Its shop cats, led by 'store manager' Jiujiu, wander among the tables and often greet guests at the door, and a shop dog lives here too.

The minimum spend is NT$100 per person with no time limit, though guests who have finished their drinks may be asked to give up seats when it is full. The menu centres on pour-overs from beans chosen with the owner, custom drinks, hand-whipped milk and cakes, and outside food is allowed if you take the rubbish away. Phone before visiting, keep voices low, and do not play music or videos.

菓子．貓 is a casual cafe-restaurant on Sanqing Road in Yilan City that shares its space with a crystal and mineral shop.

The owner clearly dotes on them; one was rescued as a kitten after being found abandoned in a travel bag. The menu is good value and changes from time to time: wraps (the Yilan duck-shang wrap is a favourite), croissant waffles, waffles, fried snacks, curry and risotto plates, tiramisu and other cakes, and coffee including pour-overs.

喵來喵去咖啡廳 is a bright, colourful cat cafe on Nongquan Road, Section 3, in Yilan City, across from a public car park. The owner describes it as the cats' home: eight cats live here, seven of them former street cats she took in and one adopted, and six of the eight are now over seven years old, so they spend much of the day dozing; arriving early or late gives the best chance of finding them awake. Each table gets a booklet introducing every cat's name, likes and personality. Interaction is never forced: do not chase, pat, forcibly hold or startle the cats, and children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. The menu is coffee, tea and small desserts, with quiche and cheesecakes among the favourites. The minimum spend is NT$200 per person, and payment is cash only.
