Pingtung drink shop lets customers make own drinks for NT$20 each
Pingtung drink shop lets customers make own drinks for NT$20 each
2026-05-20
One unique drink shop in Pingtung’s Wanluan Township lets people mix their drinks themselves, even with pearls or other toppings. No matter what you get, every cup is only NT$20. Many curious customers stop by to give it a try.
When you come to this drink shop, you have to be ready to do some work.
First add sugar and any toppings, then add the ice before finally choosing your drink.
People who don’t like toppings might choose winter melon with lemon, or for a healthier option, you could get plain green tea with ice. Whatever you want to drink, you can get it yourself. No matter how much you add, every cup is only NT$20.
I just stopped at the traffic light and saw this shop. It made me curious.
Is it a good price?
It’s good. Excellent value.
Why not add some more expensive ingredients?
It’s a small business. Can’t be too greedy.
So cheap. A drink like this elsewhere might be NT$50.
Mr. Lee
Shop owner
In Taiwanese it’s called borrowing from the strong to help the weak. Some customers just get a sugarless green tea, some get a bubble milk tea. It’s all good. Not everyone gets a bubble tea.
This self-service drink shop is in Pingtung’s Wanluan Township. It has 10 different kinds of drinks, along with pearls, coconut jelly, passion fruit syrup, grass jelly, and dried plum, which can all be added to your heart’s content. On the wall is a sign teaching giving advice on what to do, like avoiding mixing milk with lemon to prevent a stomachache later.
Plum iced tea tastes better when made with shiso plums, lemon, and dried plums.
Now 76 years old, the owner used to sell bread and drinks before closing down and renting it out. After the tenant moved, he couldn’t bear to leave it vacant and didn’t want to stay idle, so he returned to his old trade. Opening a franchise would have taken too much capital, so he decided to start his own venture instead.
Mr. Lee
Shop owner
I save on labor costs. At buffet restaurants, most customers come between 11 and 12. If everyone wanted the owner to get food for them, you could only sell a few in that hour.
When faced with adversity, you must adapt. In the fiercely competitive drink shop market, offering self-service is certainly a way to stand out.

想喝什麼自己調! 屏東自助式飲料店 均一價20元
2026-05-20
屏東萬巒有一間自助式飲料店，想喝什麼飲料自己裝，還有珍珠、椰果等配料，也通通自己加，不管什麼飲料一律20元，吸引不少民眾好奇嘗鮮。
來到這間飲料店，得自己動手。
先加糖和配料，再加冰塊，最後選飲料。
有的人不愛配料，選擇冬瓜加檸檬，有人愛健康，只加綠茶和冰塊，想喝什麼自己來，不管有沒有料，料多料少，一律都是二十塊。
- 剛好停紅綠燈，看到這個店面，讓我有點好奇
- 划算嗎?
- 划算啊，物超所值
- 為什麼不要加貴一點的?
- 小本經營 不要太貪心
- 很便宜，隨便一杯在外面，有些就50塊

“閩南話叫做截長補短，有些客人來就是買個無糖綠，有的人買珍珠奶茶，那沒有關係啊，不是每一個人來都是買珍珠奶茶”
這間自助式飲料店就位在屏東萬巒，店裏有十種飲料，配料有珍珠、椰果、百香果醬、仙草凍、話梅，愛加多少就加多少。牆上還貼有紙條，教你怎麼搭配，像是牛奶就不能加檸檬，就怕有人亂加一通，吃了回去拉肚子。
- 梅子冰茶就是紫蘇梅加檸檬加話梅，口感會比較好
業者今年76歲了，年輕時就是賣麵包和飲料，後來收掉，把房子租給別人，房客退租後，房子空著可惜，人也閒不下來，於是重操舊業，但市面上有品牌的手搖飲要加盟要資金，所以乾脆自己來。
[[飲料店業者 李先生]]
“我省掉那個人力成本啊，我們看自助餐，(客人)他就集中在11點到12點，如果每一個都是要老闆夾給你的話，那一個小時賣不到幾個便當”
窮則變，變則通，在手搖飲料競爭激烈的市場，自助式飲料也成為一種特色。
