Miyahara

Miyahara occupies a restored 1927 red-brick eye clinic near the Taichung train station. Inside, towering dark wood bookshelves rise toward a high ceiling decorated with intricate stained glass. The space feels like a vintage library filled with brass fixtures and retro wooden counters.

Visitors come to buy traditional Taiwanese pineapple cakes packaged like classic literature. The shop also serves signature ice cream with toppings like handmade suncakes and local honey. Standing in this historic hall connects you to the local heritage of Taichung.

Dark wood panels and warm lantern light create a quiet refuge from the busy Taichung streets. The scent of freshly roasted coffee beans fills the air of this traditional multi-story teahouse structure. Polished stone floors and vintage Chinese screen doors shape a peaceful sanctuary for travelers.

Skilled baristas roast and brew single-origin coffee beans using traditional Taiwanese methods. Visitors appreciate the careful attention to detail in every pour-over cup served here. Sitting here with a warm brew connects you deeply to the slow rhythm of the city.
