To take in a 360-degree aerial panorama, slow your thoughts and take a stroll through the greenery first. Eleventh Café sits on the 11th floor of the Sunrise Tower in Chiayi Park, enjoying a rare, sweeping view of downtown Chiayi. Surrounded by lush foliage, the café is wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass that floods the space with sunlight and greenery, leaving nothing between you and the horizon. Arrive at 4 p.m. and you can savor the daytime greens, the afternoon sunset, and the starlit nightscape all at once. After studying baking in Singapore, the owner brought a suitcase of sweetness back to Chiayi. The crispy cream puffs—crisp outside, sweetly fragrant inside—are filled to order with custard; pair one with a brown-sugar latte, its healthy raw sugar lending sweetness without cloying, and let the leisurely you savor every sip. Tip: show your Sunrise Tower ticket at the café for NT$20 off any coffee or drink. Recommended: crispy cream puffs, brown-sugar latte.
