The MRT South Port Exhibition Hall Station is the starting and ending station of the Blue Line. It has long been regarded as Nangang, which will only be visited with exhibitions and performance venues. With the opening of Nangang LaLaport, it has become an emerging area that attracts attention from Greater Taipei. In addition to the impression of technicians from research institutes and software parks, the coffee shops and bars where locals live have become oasis of slightly drunkenness that remains in the dust.

Features: Choose coffee and bartender, and start drinking in the afternoon

In the streets and alleys at the exit of Kunyang MRT Station, a semi-outdoor coffee bar “Goro Goro Coffee” that coexists with the design studio, serves coffee and mixing bartenders with open wooden windows. The manager's tribute ball is named after the Japanese “ごろごき” that means being useless, conveying the central idea of ​​”being serious” that can be easily and unrestrainedly leaning against the window to taste a cup of carefully selected beans and roasted beans, or sitting directly on the large-sized window frame to drink a Signature special drink that injects consciousness.

“Coffee is mainly light roasted, with the purpose of showing the slenderness of coffee beans.” The manager who values ​​coffee aroma also chooses base wine combinations when creating bartending. It is like a “coffee martini” with a coffee bean floating. Ethiopian sun-dried 30% and 70% washed coffee beans have sweet orange and white flower tones. Therefore, he chose Berlin Dry Gin with bright flower and fruit characteristics, and added a little orange wine to expand the citrus style. The fresh aroma of orange flowers looks elegant under the bitter aroma of coffee, and is particularly comfortable to drink when it is sunny and rainy.
