A charming mascot dog greets you! Taiwanese Cafe at Shimotakaido Station

Thinking it looked like a nice cafe, I peeked inside from outside. Right then, the shop's mascot dog, Doufa (chan? kun?), was waiting deep inside the entrance. The friendly Shiba Inu was of course very cute, but the Taiwanese coffee and Taiwanese black tea were also incredibly delicious (I had no idea Taiwanese coffee could be this good). The atmosphere inside struck a great balance between stylishness and a cozy, Taiwanese-style homey feel, and I ended up staying quite a while. I definitely want to visit regularly whenever I go to Shimotakaido.
