Hidden Green Path by the Sea—Wild Hill Coffee

The deep blue ocean and wide grassy fields make the simple yet classic green and blue pairing. This is the most common view in Taitung, and it’s also one of the most healing scenes of Changbin. Wild Hill Coffee is located in the quiet forest at the foot of Jinchang Mountain. The view you’ll get here is open and comfortable as you’ll feel surrounded by gorgeous sights.

The owner purchased the land because he was deeply attracted by Changbin’s natural beauty and he wanted to spend the rest of his life with the lovely mountains and oceans. He built the coffee shop so that his wife, who loves baking, could run the shop and share her passion for handmade desserts. The layout and structures are all designed by the owner himself. To retain the natural look, the two houses are built from wood. The large wall of french windows allows natural light to pour in and provides an unobstructed view of the greenery outside. There’s a breezeway between the two houses that allows airflow that keeps the coffee house cool even in the summer months. Lay down in the deckchair and let your mind and soul calm down under the gentle calming breeze.

Wild Hill Coffee is currently by reservation only. A variety of handmade French pastries are offered daily, the signature ones include the early grey chiffon and matcha madeleines. The pour-over coffee has also received high praise. The beans are roasted in-house, and the owner’s skilled brewing technique brings out rich flavors in the single-origin beans. Spend a quiet afternoon watching the rolling waves, sipping coffee, and eating desserts for a fabulous vacation. （Photo Credit：IG@ruth_wei）
