The light-industrial-style Coffee Bar Gomu takes its name from Chiayi and the three-generation family timber business at its roots. Located on Linsen Road, it tips its hat to “five trees” (五木) as a reminder of home, setting out toward its dreams from the very source of family.
Peeking in from the street, you’d swear it was a bar. Iron meets carpentry in a light-industrial vibe, yet the air is thick with coffee aroma. Bathed in tipsy lighting, order a house signature: the “Upside-Down World.” This creative twist layers blue Curaçao, milk, and espresso—like a cocktail that startles with every sip.
Hand-painted plates of dessert are just as famous: freshly made Belgian waffles arrive tableside sporting Little Mermaid or Toy Story sketches, adding extra flavor to an easy afternoon. Come linger over a signature brew at Gomu.
