---By Ivy Shih Translated by Cara Steenstra
The world of coffee and tea shops has
become increasingly competitive so that, without a little
creativity, special attractions or reasonable prices,
it is difficult to maintain a loyal customer base. On
DaDun Road, there is a modestly-sized coffee shop featuring
a bright cake stall and coffee bar with an ordering
station. On first glance, it looked a bit like some
sort of chain cafe. However, it was the second-floor
European-style wooden windowpanes here that had always
attracted my attention. The growing crowds in front
of the store also aroused my curiosity about this cafe
to the point where I finally stopped in for a look.
Bon Cafe's owner pays great attention
to details, including the neat, nice service staff uniforms,
the cutely-designed milk bottles, the simple yet attractive
color-coordinated interior decor, the cleanliness of
the surroundings, and the pleasantly-surprising quiet
second-floor seating area. It is here that, with just
a few steps, you are removed from the hustle and bustle
of DaDun Road and into another world that somewhat resembles
a not-so-commercialized version of Starbucks.
The second floor of Bon Cafe serves breakfast for NT$95
per person. This includes a choice of milk, coffee or
tea, with scrambled eggs, fried eggs or omelet, served
at the self-service bar. There is also the nicely color-coordinated
salad bar and various attractive cakes for you to pick
from.
This really is a great place offering
good food for reasonable prices. During the rest of
the day, when you're not eating, stop by and enjoy an
Iced Coffee, a Caramel Macchiato or an Organic Sweet
Orange Tea; most drinks are priced between NT$40 and
NT$75.
