Seaside cafés with stunning views have always been popular attractions. Tucked away on Shoushan (Monkey Mountain) in Kaohsiung, “Big Bowl Coffee” is a local favorite known for its first-row, breathtaking ocean views. As the sun sets, the atmosphere becomes absolutely magical—you could easily spend an afternoon sipping coffee and daydreaming.

The décor at Big Bowl Coffee is minimalistic and free from gimmicks. The priceless beauty of the ocean view alone is enough to draw in crowds. The sea-facing seats feature only simple railings for safety, leaving everything else an unobstructed, perfect view. Watch the sunlight dance across the shimmering sea or admire the orange-red hues of the sunset sky—these spectacular scenes melt all your worries away.
