Description(English)	Hima Cafe, nestled in the quiet charm of Jiufen, is more than a place to drink coffee — it is where time softens. Inspired by the Japanese word "暇 (hima)", meaning leisure and space, the cafe's design combines warm wood tones, golden details reminiscent of the town’s mining past, and views that open to the sea and mountains. The logo reflects nature’s contours — sunflowers, hills, the horizon — all drawn in the spirit of Japanese minimalism. Each visit offers a moment suspended in time: to enjoy a sip of coffee, a bite of dessert, and the calmness of your own breath.
Description(Native)	「暇」在日文中意為空閒、餘裕，也是一種對慢生活的嚮往。 「暇咖啡」將這份意涵注入九份的山海之間，空間設計以溫潤木質與細膩金邊，喚起昔日礦業時代的記憶。窗邊灑落的日光，映照著遠方海景與層疊山巒，靜謐而溫暖。 品牌標誌融合山海地貌、夕陽輪廓與太陽花意象，以日式極簡的線條描繪出如家徽般的溫柔象徵，搭配帶有詩意的襯線字體，讓視覺語言與空間精神相互呼應。 在這裡，咖啡不只是味覺體驗，更是一段與自我對話的儀式。一杯暖飲，一口甜點，一道窗景，讓心緩緩沉澱。 我們將品牌的溫度還給空間與風景，讓每位踏入暇咖啡的旅人，在這段山城時光中放慢腳步，靜靜感受風、光、影與心的流動。也許什麼都不做，也足夠充實。這裡，是屬於你的一段真正的「ひま」。
