Dong Café・冬 咖啡
Kaohsiung CitySanmin DistrictCoffee store
A café with a varied selection of coffee, light meals, and desserts, set in an artsy atmosphere.
Signature Dishes
Clear-Braised Beef Noodles
The wide noodles can be soft or springy, with a mellow broth and vegetable sweetness; the beef may be chunky and tender but can also have a tendon-heavy texture.
Laksa Noodles
A rich broth with springy seafood; the coconut flavor is light and less cloying, and lemon juice makes it go down more smoothly.
Chicken Soup Noodles with Pickled Chili
The broth is rich and layered, with a savory freshness and a generous portion of chicken; the noodles are fairly ordinary and not very chewy.
Poke
Generous toppings, a relatively moderate price, and a substantial overall mix.
Guava Coffee
Fresh and distinctive; the guava Americano version is also particularly noteworthy.
