Only that you get table service and then need to pick up your own tableware does not quite match. Used to be a branch of a bank and you can still see some of the old counters.

    An old bank turned café offering some nice beverage options. (They also have food but we had just eaten so didn’t get a chance to try!) There’s a lot of seating available including a second floor but no table service so keep in mind you’ll have to take your tableware to the return station before you leave. Pretty cool to see a historic building from 1921 converted into a space we can enjoy in 2020. 💰☕️🍵

    Beautiful and antique-ish decorations. Love the good vibe here. There’s also a tea shop next to this cafe, providing goods, indoor dinings and exhibitions. Highly recommend to visit here.

    A new tourist spot located in the district Hamasen 哈瑪星 in Kaohsiung. This historic building of 三和銀行 (The Sanwa Bank) is restored and reopened in January 2020. It's now a popular coffee house with a nostalgia fu! Over crowded is expected during the weekend.

    Great coffee! You can order dessert from next door as well. Revisit every time I’m back to Kaohsiung. The cold drip machine can be found inside a VAULT as the building was previously a bank.

    Preserving the architecture and history of the past. Transit to a coffee shop for passengers to enjoy the vibe there.

    A bit noisy during Sunday afternoon. The seat at second floor hallway is much better. They have offered soft drinks, coffee, tea and few light food. Drink is a bit expensive since this is a tourist attractions.

    A very special coffee shop, locates in a historic and very very beautiful building. The coffees are great, the staffs are kind, and the decoration is wonderful. Walking and staying inside, just like living in the 1920-1950 periods. Like the time is reversed. I do have a very good time this time.

    Cosy place in one historical building, former Japanese Bank. Good choice of drinks and food. Quiet high price and NO table table service.

    A very nice renovation of an historic bank. Not so many parking spaces for cars around. Nice historic buildings around.

    Places serves coffee and food. The male server with black rim spectacles were not courteous. Poor service and attitude. Coffee average, ordered latte and americano. Only plus is the atmosphere good for chill out sans the old San Wah bank deco, only some are original.
