Fourth Credit Cooperative｜Miyahara Sister Store × Historic Architecture × Creative Ice Cream Cuisine

Attractions / Taichung Attractions

If you've fallen in love with the gorgeous desserts at Miyahara in Taichung, then the 【Fourth Credit Cooperative】 located on Zhongshan Road is definitely your next must-visit destination!

This old building created by the Dawncake Group was formerly a real financial institution in Taichung—the "Taichung Fourth Credit Cooperative," built in 1966. Now, after skillful renovation, it has transformed into a literary ice cream and dessert space that blends nostalgia with creativity, continuing a sweet new life within the old architecture.

 

 

Old Building New Soul × Ice Cream Sold Behind Vault Doors

The Fourth Credit Cooperative's exterior preserves the original reinforced concrete structure and vault imagery. The deliberately exposed beams and concrete walls, paired with golden chandeliers and antique elements, create a visual impact of "cold × warm" contrasts.

Nostalgic touches can be seen throughout the interior:

• Terrazzo flooring and black-and-white vintage photos of cooperative employees

• Traditional hand-cranked ice machines and vault-style doors

• First floor sells ice cream and desserts, second floor offers pastries and beverages

It's like stepping into historical time while savoring contemporary creativity.
