Abu’s Scones: A Haven for Comforting Baked Goods

A Cozy Welcome and Delicious Start

During the recent government-mandated holiday (due to Typhoon) for schools and offices, many shops in Taichung remained closed, leaving us with limited options. Thankfully, Abu's Scones was open for business, and we were excited to experience what the buzz was all about.

As we entered the cozy shop, the aroma of freshly baked goods enveloped us. While Abu’s Scones is famous for its scones, we were drawn to try their other offerings. The chicken pies immediately caught our attention. These savory treats were filled with tender, flavorful chicken, herbs, and a perfectly baked, golden crust. Each bite was a delightful balance of savory goodness, and they quickly became the highlight of our visit.

Cheesecake Surprise

For dessert, we were pleasantly surprised with a slice of cheesecake—a generous gift from the owner. The cheesecake was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced in sweetness, providing the perfect ending to our savory meal.

Despite being the only customers at the time, Abu’s Scones made us feel welcomed and part of their community. The delicious food, the cozy ambiance, and the warmth of the owner created a memorable experience. If you find yourself in Taichung or Taipei, make sure to stop by Abu’s Scones for a taste of their chicken pies, scones, and cheesecake—and don’t forget to make a donation to support local dogs!

Community Spirit: Supporting Dogs

While enjoying our treats, I noticed a donation box at the cashier encouraging patrons to contribute to helping dogs. I thought this was a lovely touch, and we gladly made a small donation to show support for the cause.

Meeting the Owner: A Heartwarming Connection

As we sat enjoying the delicious food, the owner, noticing we were the only customers, approached us. We chatted about our love for dogs, and it turned out that Abu was the name of the owner’s beloved canine. It was heartwarming to connect over this shared love for pets, making the experience even more special.
