15 "Waiting for a Coffee"
Regarding the film, based on the novel of the same name by Nine Knives, there are mixed reviews. Some people think that its plot is messy and nonsensical; some people think that it is a fantasy campus love drama, absurd but beautiful. And I saw three waiting loves. Some missed and were lucky to find it; some spent their whole lives waiting; and some, the person who was waiting for them had already appeared, but they were unaware.
A lot of times we like to sit in cafes, wait for people.
And in this life, in fact, everyone is waiting for someone, waiting for someone who can see you differently.
16 "Blueberry Night"

17 "When Harry Meets Sally"
In 12 years and 3 months, one café after another witnessed the strange experience of heroes and heroines from mutual opposition and discord to mutual understanding and appreciation, from friendship to love. The love in the film is long and thin, there are no big ups and downs, but it is also sweet, and its atmosphere is very compatible with the warm café.

19 "Six Lane Cafe"
The film is more to resonate with the audience through the depiction of youth and campus love, thus triggering everyone's thinking about growth and destiny. Overall, this is a youth film that is both hot-blooded and profound. The film adheres to the unique simplicity and calmness of Taiwanese youth films, and the school grass pursues the character setting of the school flower, which is interesting. At the same time, the film is like a cup of bitter coffee, with patience and something that hits human nature.
