Cafe Hifumi

Kaohsiung


A chilled cafe in an old Japanese-Taiwanese house (c 1900s) that's nostalgic and elegant without trying too hard. You can spend a relaxing hour here under beams and rafters enjoying good iced coffee and checking emails. In its previous incarnations, this place was a high-class restaurant with geisha performances.
