Twelve Cafe

Located on the waterfront in the heart of Emei, 12 Cafe boasts sweeping views of lake water and stunning mountain-hill side. 12 Cafe is in the camping site activities of Huguang Village Emei Township and just minutes away from Hsinchu downtown.
It was referred to as the best kept secret in Lake Emei and it certainly is beautiful location in and patio and window seats overlook the lake. This restaurant looks and feels like a old country house. Timber lined walls and give it a comfortable ambience.
 It caught my eyes upon entering at the main entrance door!
Diners can choose whether they enjoy their meals inside, in the cozy lounge area or outside under the trees with spectacular views of the mountain, waterfront and lush garden.

I never thought I will find here this old school pumping faucet. 
On this leisure afternoon we order a waffles with chocolate syrup and whipped cream was fluffy it could be better if they serve this waffles with ice cream.
I had a toast with garlic and butter, the bread was soft the butter and garlic are melted and it has a cheese taste in it. I was surprised at how incredibly tasty it was.
I order a cup of single Brazilian coffee.
And had some lemon juice and milk tea, ok the drinks it taste pretty average and nothing so spectacular. Might not be the most obvious place for a meal. But perfect for playing and enjoy the haunting call of the loon and the tranquil quiet and had some sip of coffee.

Nice place to have a cup of coffee in the lake. You know exactly the coffee shop where lies the tranquility and beauty of natures not just a restaurants or dining place only.
