Buckle up, friends, we’re going to Taiwan for… CAKE! Ok not just the cake. We’re inspired by the interiors too.

SEASON, an artisan patissier, in the capital, Taipei City, nails the balance. Bright, playful vibes up front where the pastries shine, melting into loungey, moody tones in the back. It feels like the kind of spot where you might chat with a friend over pastries and tea, then wander solo deeper in with a stack of books and your journal and lose a whole afternoon.

My eye is set on the garden of senses cake.
