Super delicious buns and lovely owner - Edit
This is such a gorgeous little place. The owner is very friendly and helpful and most importantly the buns and toast are super tasty. We had the weekly special tofu egg bun and lemon custard bun, as well as the garlic toast and sesame latte. All very delicious.

Great food and service! - Edit
Very cute place and such a kind owner! If you're vegan this is a must visit when in Tainan. The interior has a retro Japanese vibe. And ofcourse the food is delicious :)

Found My Favorite Spot in Tainan. Where Coffee Comes with Conversation. - Edit
I discovered Roar Factory through Happy Cow while searching for a good coffee spot, and I’m so glad I did. The moment I walked in, I felt right at home. The owner, Richard, is incredibly warm and welcoming and we connected instantly and ended up chatting for almost an hour. It felt like meeting a long-lost brother.
Read moreThe space itself is cozy and inviting, with a resident cat adding to the relaxed atmosphere. The drinks and food were excellent too. If you’re in Tainan and looking for great coffee, genuine conversation, and a place that just feels right, Roar Factory is it.

Delicious Vegan Cafe! - Edit
The cafe itself is beautiful, and the food is amazing! I had the iced black tea with soy milk, a mini roll with red bean paste, and a tofu ,egg‘ roll. The roles were so soft, I haven‘t had anything like it since I went vegan. The staff was incredibly friendly, and a cute cat lives there!

Sweet times - Edit
This is one of the nicest coffee places for vegans. It has irresistible sweet delights, some made while you wait by the friendly English-speaking owner, Richard, and some already prepared. Also a good source for vegan bread.

The secretly vegan place - Edit
When you go in, you may notice nothing says “vegan” or plant based. That’s because the owner wants to attract non vegans to try the food, which many find taste so good and “like the real thing” or better. It’s his form of activism.
Read moreThe owner himself is not vegan, but slowly transitioning. Having many vegan friends, he found going out together was a challenge as there were not a lot of options available, so he started making v cookies for them. They encouraged him to share that with others, so he started selling them on a bike and eventually opened up this place! True allyship. They opened just 3 months before the pandemic and are thankfully still running!
Everything is made in house and the breads are made by his mom. The kitten is also a rescue, born with a crooked tail and mostly blind in one eye, so abandoned by its mother. Do feel free to ask about anything- he has lots of stories, including his inspiration for opening the cafe. Major Spoiler: it involves a brunch at NYC with a tofu scramble which blew his mind, not knowing it was a vegan place. 🤭
Well the menu is small and the breakfast special is you buy a drink and get a little toast for free (choose any of the 3 flavors); so don’t expect a large breakfast here. But drinks can be made upon request such as my hot chocolate. I loved the vibe here and his energy and enthusiasm. It’s also great to see a vegan place that isn’t here just trying to profit from the movement.
Come on in and support the only vegan cafe currently open on this side of the river.
Pros: Great service and very friendly owner, Cute kitten, Local, Taiwanese specialty toast made vegan!
