Coming to the North Coast, if you want to find a place to sit, enjoy the sea breeze, watch the ocean, and relax with some dessert, we recommend Shimen's 「米詩堤極北藍點」. This sea-view café is located beside the coastal highway on Route 2, offering unbeatable ocean views. Large floor-to-ceiling windows paired with the deep blue coastline create charming scenery whether it's sunny or overcast.
We have visited this place several times. In addition to enjoying the comfortable environment, the cake prices are relatively affordable, so you can enjoy afternoon tea with sea views without spending a fortune. Sitting by the window, watching the sea while eating cake, really makes you slow down and savor the leisurely pace of the North Coast.
米詩堤極北藍點 is located in Shimen District, New Taipei City, near popular attractions such as Baishawan, Fuji Fishing Harbor, and Laomei Green Algae Reef. It can be reached by heading north along the coastal highway from Tamsui.
Driving is the most convenient option. There is parking in front of the shop and a parking lot nearby, so no need to worry about parking. For public transport, take the Tamsui Bus toward Shimen or Jinshan and get off at a nearby stop before walking over.

The pure white building sits quietly by the coast. Its clean, sharp appearance contrasts strikingly with the blue sea beside it.
This building was originally a Coast Guard military outpost called 「極北藍點」, later renovated into the current romantic pure-white structure with an exotic feel.
The large lawn and open space instantly lift your mood upon arrival. Especially on clear days, the blue sky, white clouds, and sea view form a beautiful landscape painting.
Inside, the most attractive feature is the large floor-to-ceiling window viewing area. Almost every seat offers ocean views, with window seats being especially popular. Sitting by the window watching waves crash on the shore, occasionally catching the sunset glow, is truly relaxing.
The indoor space is bright and comfortable, without excessive ornate decor, allowing you to focus more on the relaxing feeling brought by the sea view.
Right in front is the coastline. After dessert, you can walk down to the beach to explore the ecosystem with kids, making the afternoon tea trip even richer.
米詩堤's desserts offer great value, with a rich variety. The prices are very reasonable for a scenic restaurant! When we arrived near closing time, many cakes were sold out, leaving limited options.
Bear Fruit Light
The cake is topped with fresh fruits including strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, blueberries, and grapes in a vibrant mix that looks appetizing. The fruits are fresh and juicy, paired with a soft cake base and fresh cream. The overall taste is refreshing and not overly sweet, perfect for fruit dessert lovers.
German Pudding
The outer tart shell is crispy and fragrant, with a rich milky filling and smooth texture. The sweetness is moderate; the milk and egg aromas slowly unfold in the mouth, bringing a sense of happiness.
Vanilla Boston
The vanilla cake is fluffy yet retains good moisture. The fresh cream in the middle is sweet and smooth. The sweetness level is just right, offering pure deliciousness that both adults and children will enjoy.
After enjoying sweet afternoon tea in the shop, don't rush to leave! Walking down the path in front of 米詩堤 leads directly to a wide, gentle sandy beach and coastal intertidal zone.
The coast here features the North Coast's unique reef rock formations and clear seawater, perfect for adults and kids to wade in the waves, stroll in the sea breeze, watch waves crash on rocks, and listen to the healing sound of the waves – a wonderful family time.
Visiting 米詩堤極北藍點, it's recommended to plan a half-day or full-day trip. Nearby spots like Fuji Fishing Harbor, Baishawan, and Laomei Green Algae Reef are all close. You can also continue toward Jinshan or Wanli for more exploration.
If you also love sea-view cafés, desserts, and that leisurely feeling of sitting and gazing at the sea, then 米詩堤極北藍點 is truly worth saving. It lacks overly commercialized bustle, offering instead a comfortable sea-view space and delicious desserts.
Next time you travel to the North Coast, consider stopping by 米詩堤極北藍點, order a slice of cake and a drink, and enjoy the slow-paced moments unique to the North Coast.
