Take a walk up the hillside path along the coast next to Jhongshan University and you will see an assortment of eye-catching signage. It won't be difficult to spot the cute and attractive sign of the Woodpecker Cafe. Surrounded by trees and overlooking the beautiful sea, this trek up to the Woodpecker Cafe is definitely worthwhile. It is no wonder that some regulars come here on a daily basis, and painters like to come here for inspiration. The scenery and relaxed atmosphere might be the main attractions here, but the owner spares no effort in selecting the finest coffee beans for his coffees. The fragrant lattes and hazelnut flavored lattes are a must try for coffee lovers. Also available are imported English tea. Their Iced Tea is prepared using an Italian-style coffee brewing method, and you will be pleasantly surprised by how great tea can taste. Worth recommending is the owner's handmade cookies. The Salmon Fried Rice with Herbs is also worth trying, as it is prepared with Italian herbs and fresh salmon. Relaxing music, the aroma of coffee, the sound of waves and the sunset, this combination at the Woodpecker Cafe will get you hooked.
