Then Studio Introduction
Chaiyi Little Tiān Mǔ Selection Store is no joke when it comes to impressive desserts, located near Lantan Scenic Area in Dongyang New Village. The living environment is exceptionally high quality, attracting many high-income families, creating a multi-cultural shopping district with various international cuisines. Located at No. 1 Dongyang New Village, "Then Studio" is a lifestyle selection and coffee dessert hybrid store, featuring a wide array of popular Japanese purchasing products as well as a complete range of Swedish Arctic Fox backpacks. The owner, Lin Xiaohua, originally worked in education in Taipei but decided to relocate back to her hometown to accompany her parents. She initially started doing online purchasing at home and later expanded to open a store, reaching its current scale after 8 years. Owner Xiaohua mentioned that many of her regular customers are neighbors in the community, who eventually become good friends, often chatting casually while shopping, which led to the development of food and beverage services. Despite being essentially a selection store, the dessert quality at Then Studio is astonishing, with the skilled manager aiming to use local small farm ingredients and introducing Japan’s "Kyushu Pancake" mix for making desserts. Then Studio not only offers dessert afternoon tea in-store but also accepts cake orders for special occasions to serve the community.
