The appearance of Mr. Sam’s cafe is like a story in a movie. Some people describe it as the Shire of the Lord of the Rings or Hayao Miyazaki’s moving castle of Hall. With the scenery of the forest and pine trees, it has become an emerging tourist attraction in Hualien in the past two years. Very popular and crowded, creating a polarization of praise and criticism on the Internet. Is it worth a visit?You can take a look at our experience before making a decision, and you are welcome to leave a message and communicate together.

From Hualien city center, drive to Taiwan Line 9 for about 24 kilometers, about 30 minutes by car, or take Hualien Bus No. 1121, get off at Dashujiao Station and walk for about 3 minutes to the coffee shop. There is a parking lot behind Mr. Sam’s cafe for guests to use. When visiting on the same day, it is estimated that about 25 cars can be parked. A single parking fee of 100 yuan will be charged, which can be discounted for the whole museum consumption. If you encounter holidays, you will need to wait for a long time. It is not recommended for those who cannot wait for a while.

A brief introduction to Mr. Sam's cafe
The boss turned this slightly remote old house into a cafe, which includes outdoor landscapes, ice cream houses, and cafes in the area. It happens when the weather is good or the Yakuba is red. It is very suitable for taking pictures here. Searching IG can find many people to share. One is Huahou. Only after seeing her post did I know that there is this shop.In addition, we are visiting on a normal day during the rainy season. When we encounter the black mosquitoes, we are very distressed and quickly apply anti-mosquito liquid. There is no such problem during summer vacation. We need to remind you.
▲ The misty mountains and forests are the most attractive place in Huadong.
▲ There is indeed a style of fairy tale world.
Overview of the store environment and dining experience
After entering, you will first see the ordering counter. The right side is the seating area for guests. The cafe mainly serves drinks and light meals. There are no light meals or larger meals available. It is not suitable for brunch or afternoon tea. People, we also ordered drinks and the signature coo huff and toast to stop hunger, but the taste was still good.There are not many seats. Usually, there are still some vacant seats. While eating and admiring the works on the wall, I will stay for about half an hour before leaving for the next scenic spot "Yunshanshui".

▲ It's a good trick to drive the little hamburger away from the ice cream house.
Conclusion: Fairy-tale style cottage suitable for short stay and check-in
Mr. Sam’s cafe breaks through the decoration style of a nest of Fengwenqing coffee shop in Taiwan. It is able to build an unparalleled building by taking advantage of the beautiful scenery of Hualien’s mountains and rivers. I think this deserves a high degree of recognition and praise from the boss. Perhaps I have never thought it would be so popular. It will inevitably increase negative reviews when the crowds are too large, such as movement lines, manpower, waiting time, etc. It is the boss who needs to further think about how to break through or sort out the rules, so that the visiting guests will not be disappointed. Return.
