“Meals extend to desserts and fresh juice in a distinctive old house. Its change from a family grocery into a café merits a short detour from Xinhe Elementary School Station.”

THE STORY

The story behind this place

From family grocery to alley café

This café occupies the former grocery run by the owners' parents. Red brick, old metalwork, and vintage furniture preserve traces of family and neighborhood life.

Both owners worked at Journey Kaffe in Neihu before opening here. Pasta, salads, handmade desserts, and juice now continue the old storefront's everyday life differently.

✨ AI Quick Take

Hidden in a quiet Yong'an Street residential lane, this old-house café blends weathered brick, faded metal doors, vintage industrial style, and warm light through large windows. Coffee and handmade desserts join pasta and egg pizza. Spacious, without a time limit, and equipped with outlets and WIFI, it is a secluded place for an entire afternoon.

Uncle's take: An old house like this needs no fancy soundtrack—coffee, a corner, and changing window light are the right weekday-afternoon pace.
Setting and atmosphere:Red brick, old metal, vintage furniture, and large windows retain the house's character. Meals, desserts, drinks, and some seats with outlets and internet support work. Quiet workers should still keep calls low; a café is not a private office, and everyone's afternoon lasts longer that way.
Location and dining notes:The address is No. 9, Lane 34, Yong'an Street, Xindian District, New Taipei City; phone 02 8668 8605. Walk from Xinhe Elementary School Station on the Ankeng LRT. Hours are usually 11:30–20:00 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and until 20:30 weekends; Wednesday is closed. Confirm that day's time-limit, pet, and seating rules, and arrive early for weekend window seats.
● Garlic Clam and Shrimp Pasta

Clams, plump springy shrimp, and broccoli meet pasta with clear but non-harsh garlic and spice-driven gentle heat. The noodles retain bite and the portion is moderate. Seafood sweetness, garlic, and heat connect without becoming monotonous late in the plate.

Uncle's take: Chocolate this deep without cloying shows skill. Add juice or hot tea and afternoon tea is complete.
● Chocolate Banana Pie

Mature bittersweet cocoa and fresh banana hold each other in balance rather than blasting sugar. Crisp pastry, soft banana, and dense chocolate meet in one bite. One pie shared after a meal with juice or hot tea is ideal; even Uncle knows dessert should not be swallowed by willpower.

● Shrimp Salad with Tartar Sauce

Lettuce supports pumpkin, cucumber, broccoli, and beef tomato for soft, crisp, and juicy variation. Large peeled shrimp are fresh and springy. Tartar sauce is rich without tasting like heavy mayonnaise, joining shrimp and vegetables into one plate.

● Guava Apple Juice

Fresh-blended guava and apple make a pale-green juice led by apple aroma and sweetness, with guava later. Without dairy heaviness, it refreshes between pasta and chocolate. Guava lovers may find it restrained; gentle-fruit fans will like the balance.

📌 Editor's Summary

Touch Café honestly combines an old house's simplicity with craft. Instead of influencer-café noise, handmade cheesecake and grown-up Chocolate Banana Pie make it a Yong'an Street refuge. Flavor and setting are comfortable and well judged. For an open, unpretentious corner with good food and juice, this hidden Xindian house offers a moment of calm.
