Triangle & Cat Cafe Introduction
If one is obsessed with coffee, it must be Joe, the owner of “Triangle and Cat.” After graduating from university, his first job introduced him to coffee, and he became deeply enamored with it. To enhance his skills, he spent two years commuting three hours daily to Shenkeng to learn about roasting. Graduating with a degree in Applied Foreign Languages and bearing the heavy expectations of his family, he initially shifted to the manufacturing industry to meet their hopes but ultimately committed himself to his passion for coffee. Together with his sister, who loves coffee, her supportive brother-in-law, and a beloved cat that has accompanied them through this journey, he opened the coffee shop “Triangle and Cat.” With the knowledge and techniques he has acquired, he aims to offer customers beverages transcending those available in ordinary coffee shops. Notably, the shop features coffee beans that undergo oak barrel fermentation and exquisite washed processing from the San José Estate in Colombia, resulting in coffee with hints of whiskey aroma; or using a light roast process that preserves fruity notes and sweetness, distinct from the bitter flavors typical of medium to dark roasts. They aspire to pursue a niche in specialty coffee, with their “Wild Ginger Flower Latte” being a signature drink, incorporating wild ginger flower brew into the latte, providing not only the creaminess of the latte but also the unique aroma of wild ginger flowers. Additionally, their “Vegetarian Burger” is a best-seller, made fresh daily in limited quantities, requiring advance orders! Utilizing locally sourced vegetables and paired with handcrafted buns, it redefines the greasy sensation of a traditional burger, balancing healthiness and flavor. Although the shop imports green beans, they roast, select, and prepare them in-house daily with a completely transparent process, allowing customers to observe.
