In Taiwan, many buildings have a long history, exuding a rich cultural atmosphere. With the development of culture, an increasing number of old houses have been transformed into unique dessert cafés, allowing visitors to enjoy delicious sweets and rich coffee while also soaking in the vintage charm of these historic buildings—truly a delightful experience.

One of its popular items is the "Sunward" flavor tower, which combines matcha and lemon. Not only is it cute in appearance, but it also uniquely blends two distinctly different flavors—matcha and lemon. The matcha flavor harmonizes with the aroma of the lemon custard, creating an exceptionally well-matched and delightful taste.

Originally the pastry workshop of mischievous bakers, Egg House was relocated near Xingtian Temple Station and reborn as a refreshing new dessert café. Its exterior and décor are creatively designed, and its interior furnishings are beloved by today’s artsy crowd. In addition to desserts, Egg House also serves main dishes like curry rice. Most uniquely, the café also incorporates clothing sales, creating a hybrid café concept.
