Travel Center / Comprehensive Report

Located in downtown Kaohsiung, “today'sweet” was originally started by its head chef, who set up a dessert studio at the now-closed “San Yu Bookstore” and sold desserts on the bookstore’s second floor. Last year, the chef finally had their own storefront and studio, opening “today'sweet” in an old house tucked away in a quiet alley. The shop’s desserts are inspired by literature, earning it the nickname “literary desserts.”

Parked right at the shop entrance is the “Jamie” cart, which once accompanied the chef as they peddled desserts through the alleys. This iconic cart is also a highlight of the shop, and many visitors take photos with it alongside the dried flowers on display, creating uniquely atmospheric shots. As for the shop’s must-try items, the pound cake series and mille-feuille series are top picks—the pound cakes are rich and dense yet not overly sweet, while the mille-feuilles offer a delightful crunch in every layer. These are definitely must-orders when visiting.

In addition to handmade desserts, the shop occasionally hosts cooking classes, lectures, and even exhibitions. “today'sweet” aims to let every visitor experience the beauty of life through food, words, and interaction.
