LI.KA CAFÉ

「A visitor-friendly and environmentally-friendly cafe」

Guests of LI.KA CAFÉ are encouraged to hit the beach and enjoy their afternoon tea and desserts it serves, like red oolong tea and pound cake made with Alianthus prickly ash. LI.KA is a plastic-free café that doesn’t use disposable dishware and the guests can return its dishware after they return, helping protect the environment by supporting its plastic-free policy. Situated next to Jinlun Tunnel leading to the seaside, the café uses made-to-measure country-style wooden furniture built by Sunrise Driftwood Workshop in Duoliang. The chef uses environmentally friendly ingredients produced by local tribal villages, including peanuts, Alianthus prickly ash, distiller’s dried grain and crispy plums, to make desserts of “local flavors.” One of the café owners Nathan started his career on his homeland as a farmer after his return and he wants to share food made with premium agricultural products of small farmers in his tribal village with the visitors. Nathan and Woosun (another owner of the café and Dagedanhouse) opened LI.KA CAFÉ with the encouragement of guests of Dagedanhouse, who had given favorable feedback about the food it served. “Our dream is to open a Dagedanhouse and a LI.KA CAFÉ that presents distinctive local characteristics at every township in Taitung,” said Nathan resolutely.
