In the heart of Shennong Street, known as a cultural hub for creatives, you’ll find a hidden gem—BelongInn. This Tainan café is marked by a modest red lantern, casting a warm glow for night wanderers, while the faint aroma of coffee fills the air. Its elegant, vintage window frames add a touch of sophistication to the old house. The relaxed vibe is enhanced by retro tunes playing softly in the background, creating an atmosphere that draws you in. Notably, BelongInn is pet-friendly, allowing guests to bring their pets along, as long as they remain off the ground.

Café Environment

BelongInn has a cozy setup, with the café located on the first floor and a guesthouse on the second floor. The café usually operates until midnight, while the guesthouse offers spacious, vintage-style rooms and a complimentary afternoon tea service for guests. The café has three distinct seating areas, with the glass-roofed courtyard that connects the front and back sections being a popular spot for photos. Sunlight streams in through the glass ceiling in the afternoon, creating a beautiful play of light and shadow. The café’s vintage terrazzo floors paired with European-style accents add a modern charm to the space. Located just a 6-minute drive from Tainan Train Station, it offers a no-time-limit dining experience, making it perfect for those wanting to unwind. However, as they don’t take reservations, it’s best to arrive early to snag a spot.
