Liwei Coffee Stand is run by Taiwanese latte art champion Liwei Hsuan and his Japanese wife Haruko Kamimura, who roast all the coffee beans in-house. The space features a dark green and black interior design, complete with Taiwanese signs, art and traditional red lanterns.
Opt for a ‘black latte’, an espresso whisked up with bamboo charcoal powder and enhanced with frothed milk. The unique coffee creation boasts a mellow taste and a beautiful design on top. If you want to learn how to create your own latte art patterns at home, you can join one of the shop’s latte art seminars.
Pair your latte with a pudding, made with only eggs, milk and sugar. The soft treat is served with a fragrant syrup made from sugar, water and oolong tea and served in a beautiful Arita-ware porcelain bowl. If you like the tableware your drinks are served in, you can even purchase some of the bowls and mugs, along with some unique jewellery made by Kamimura, from the small shop counter inside the café.
Rather shop from home? The café also has an online store selling the jewellery, branded merch and more.
