Blake Garden Coffee Introduction
"Black Garden Cafe" is a transformed residential space that features both indoor dining areas and an outdoor dining space upon entering the main gate. The entire outdoor area is designed with a garden concept, allowing customers to relax and unwind. The name of the cafe comes from the owner’s nickname "Little Black," and since it operates as a coffee shop, it’s connected to the color "Black," hence the name "Black Garden Cafe." Established in May 2001, the owner was originally a manager and plant director at Nestlé. After leaving Nestlé by chance, he opened the cafe independently near the interchange on Guangfu Road in the Hukou Industrial Zone. In addition to selling coffee beans, the cafe also offers various meals. Due to its proximity to the Hukou Industrial Zone, the cafe sees a large number of diners during lunch from Monday to Friday, but the service is extremely fast, minimizing wait times. The price range is affordable, including soup, main dishes, side dishes, and post-meal beverages, making it a great dining spot for the general public and office workers. In 2002, it was featured in an interview by Vision Magazine, and in 2003, it was also covered by Public Television. It is known as the largest coffee bean roasting factory in Taiwan, providing the most professional and freshest coffee at Black Garden.
