WHY VISIT

Why add it to your itinerary?

01
Stay for the layered spice of brown sugar and cinnamon

Vietnamese cinnamon and herbal spices run through soft, moist bread, house brown-sugar sauce adds caramel-like sweetness, and walnuts provide crunch. Cinnamon lovers can move from the lightly crisp edge into the soft center.

02
Tea and coffee open up different dessert layers

Earl Grey Basque cheesecake uses tea, bergamot and roasted bitterness to frame the cheese, while Drowned Pudding changes in sweetness and texture as espresso is added and the ice cream melts. Both reward slower tasting.

03
A relaxed moment inside a leafy old house

Plants, wooden furniture and warm light surround the compact café while traces of the old house remain visible. The owner’s gender-inclusive philosophy adds an open, welcoming tone to the coffee break.

THE STORY

The story behind this place

From the lanes to an inclusive dessert space

The name “阡陌” refers to crisscrossing lanes and fits this café hidden in Yancheng’s side streets. Owner Zheng Qianren redesigned the old house around desserts, coffee and a gender-inclusive philosophy. From the counter to the rear seating area, the old building takes on a new use while giving travelers an easygoing place to stay awhile.

Brown Sugar Cinnamon Roll MetroBites visit photo

Brown Sugar Cinnamon Roll

A lightly crisp edge wraps soft, moist bread. Vietnamese cinnamon and herbal-toned spices layer together, house brown-sugar sauce adds caramel-like sweetness, and walnuts bring crunch. It is aromatic and rich, best for people who enjoy spice and dark sugar flavors.

Earl Grey Basque Cheesecake MetroBites visit photo

Earl Grey Basque Cheesecake

The dense, fine crumb keeps a moist center, with clear Earl Grey and bergamot aromas. Toasted bitterness on top gives the cheese sweetness more depth, cream adds smoothness, and dried orange echoes the citrus note.

Drowned Pudding MetroBites visit photo

Drowned Pudding

House pudding, ice cream, espresso and almond brittle combine in one dessert. The pudding is silky and milky with crème-brûlée-like notes; once espresso is added, bitterness, sweetness, egg and dairy aromas gradually mingle.

METROBITES LOCAL TIP
Taste the pudding plain before adding espresso

Try a spoonful of the Drowned Pudding before adding coffee so you can taste the custardy milkiness and ice cream first. Then pour in the espresso and notice how the sweet-bitter balance and texture change as the ice cream melts.

✨ AI Quick Take

阡陌一舍 UNS (UNS Cafe & Cakery) hides in a quiet lane of old Yancheng, where an old house, greenery, coffee aroma and handmade desserts create an unhurried little space. The Brown Sugar Cinnamon Roll is deeply spiced, the Earl Grey Basque Cheesecake fine and moist, Drowned Pudding layers espresso over dairy richness, and bright Sicilian Coffee brings a clean finish. It fits naturally into a Pier-two walk as a sweet stop that never feels rushed.

Interior and dining atmosphere:The café was created from an old lane house. Plants surround the entrance, and inside are wooden tables, warm light and walls that still show traces of age. The onest floor is a compact café, while the twond floor continues as lodging. Seating is limited, yet the spacing and greenery keep the room quiet. Coffee and cinnamon often mingle in the air, while rainbow elements add a relaxed and inclusive note.
Location and dining notes:The address is 高雄市鹽埕區堀江街25號, near the Pier-two Art Center and within walking distance of Yanchengpu. Because it sits in an old-city lane, first-time visitors can look for the plants and understated sign by the entrance. Desserts depend on the day’s production and popular items can sell out early. If you want to compare cake, cinnamon roll and coffee in one visit, sharing among two or three people gives you more room.
● Brown Sugar Cinnamon Roll

The roll is baked to a lightly crisp edge while the inside stays soft and moist, somewhere between brioche and toast in texture. Vietnamese cinnamon layers with herbal spices, house brown-sugar sauce coats the top, and walnuts add crunch. Caramel-like sweetness arrives first, followed by slowly expanding cinnamon spice. Eat it warm from the outer ring toward the center.

● Earl Grey Basque Cheesecake

The slice is dense and fine with a moist Basque-style center. Earl Grey and bergamot are clear, while roasted bitterness on top keeps the cheese sweetness from feeling flat. Cream adds smoothness and dried orange pushes the citrus note forward. Small bites make it easier to notice the changes between tea, cheese and the lightly tart finish.

● Drowned Pudding

Drowned Pudding takes an affogato idea and combines house-made pudding, ice cream and espresso, with almond brittle for extra texture. The pudding itself is silky with mascarpone-like dairy notes and a hint of crème brûlée. Once the espresso is poured in, the ice cream slowly melts and bitterness, sweetness, milk and egg aromas begin to flow together. Try it plain first, then add coffee for two distinctly different stages.

● Sicilian Coffee

Sicilian Coffee puts iced coffee and citrus in the same glass, with a thin, delicate foam on top and dried citrus visible inside. The first sip is bright and refreshing, followed by roasted coffee bitterness. Its sweet-tart edge cleans up the richer desserts before it. When paired with cinnamon roll or Basque cheesecake, alternating bites and sips keeps the whole set feeling sharper.

Uncle’s note: A good lane café is remembered not only for dessert, but for those few minutes when everything suddenly slows after you open the door.
💡 Ordering note

For a first visit, pair the Brown Sugar Cinnamon Roll with Sicilian Coffee so spice, dark sugar and citrus coffee balance each other. If you prefer silkier desserts, choose Earl Grey Basque Cheesecake and Drowned Pudding. The dessert lineup changes with daily production, so decide on anything you really want when you see it, then arrange the sharing order from lighter to richer flavors.

📌 Editor’s Summary

阡陌一舍 UNS (UNS Cafe & Cakery) keeps the quiet of an old Yancheng house while giving its desserts strong individual character. The Brown Sugar Cinnamon Roll is rich without losing its soft bread texture; Earl Grey Basque Cheesecake builds fine layers with tea; Drowned Pudding lets espresso change both sweetness and texture; and Sicilian Coffee brings a refreshing finish.
