Location & Atmosphere: The Capybara Knight cafe is accessible by Taipei's MRT system , a 15 minutes walk from the Tucheng station. The ambiance is notably charming and tranquil, centered around the small pond area where the animals reside.
The Capybaras: The two resident capybaras, Caby and Bara, are the main event. They are calm and gentle, and the interaction session is a highlight, allowing you to feed and touch them. A devoted animal attendant is present during these sessions to ensure the animals' safety and comfort.
Booking & Logistics: Due to the cafe's popularity and limited space, it is highly recommended to book a time slot in advance to avoid disappointment or a long wait. The interaction with the animals is limited to a pre-set duration of 20 minutes.
The Verdict: While the overall experience is a memorable one, especially for animal lovers, there are some trade-offs. The food and drinks are a bit expensive for the quality, and the service from the staff is not particularly warm. However, if you are a tourist with extra time and are eager for a unique encounter, the chance to get up close with the capybaras is the primary reward.
This experience brought a specific Bible verse to mind:
"O LORD, how manifold are your works! In wisdom have you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures."— Psalm 104:24
It's a beautiful reminder that even in a simple cafe, we can find a glimpse of God's wonderful and diverse creation.
