Nth Visit to Tainan 潺潺咖啡 (Chanchan Café) — A Gentle, Long-Lasting Sip 🪴🍰

#SeptemberTravelSupport Tucked away in an alley in Tainan's Sheung Wan district, this cafe seems hidden, even its signage is low-key. The aroma of the roastery greets you as soon as you open the door, and the bar seating and small tables are spaced out evenly. Plenty of sound-absorbing materials keep conversations from being muffled, and it's perfectly quiet, even for cracking open a book. 📚
The desserts are more about balance than show. The richness of the baking, the cream that doesn't linger on sweetness, and the acidity of the brewing all add up to a refreshing finish, making each bite or cup a delightful treat. ☕ The cakes are modestly sized, making them ideal for solo visitors. Parking is tight due to the alley's location, so walking is recommended. Off-peak hours offer a more intimate experience, allowing you to appreciate the subtle "calmness" of the space. This place gently brings back the small details of your day.
