Tainan East District's '撲鼻林森' - a comma on the second floor above an alleyway where you can find props and coffee along the stairs.

#SeptemberTravelSupport Walking down a narrow alley in Tainan's East District, a small wooden door and a charming sign greet you. "撲鼻林森" is divided into a souvenir shop on the first floor and a cafe on the second, creating a seamless flow between shopping and relaxation. As you ascend the stairs, you'll feel the changing atmosphere. The dim lighting, soothing music, and the feeling of a carefully arranged collection of unique objects reflecting your taste are palpable.
The souvenir shop features small vases, bookmarks, and handmade stationery. The second-floor cafe offers a long window-side bar and a central table, offering a variety of seating options. The drip coffee is smoother than acidic, and the desserts are subtly sweet, offering a sense of "a moment of pause" rather than a satisfying meal. ☀️
Weekend afternoons are crowded with photo shoots, but the turnover isn't bad, and the seats against the wall are more suitable for chatting than working on a laptop. On rainy days, water droplets form on the stair railing, and the calming colors blend into the background, creating beautiful photos. The space offers a smooth flow, allowing visitors to slowly choose souvenirs and enjoy a leisurely drink.
