草圖自家烘焙咖啡館 Sketch cafe & Roastery.

you're on zhongzheng 4th road, qianjin district, which isn't the part of kaohsiung that gets written up in travel guides, and that's fine. this stretch of the city has its own pace, and 草圖 sits inside it without needing to announce itself. what separates a roastery from a café that happens to stock good beans is the roasting itself, the direct control over how a coffee develops before it ever reaches your cup, and that's what you're dealing with here. the regulars here aren't casual about it either. the reputation this place has built in kaohsiung's specialty scene is steady, specific, and not the result of good timing. come in the morning, while zhongzheng 4th road is still quiet, and order something off their filter menu.
