🟢 市場之上，一個不喧嘩的文化現場A Quiet Cultural Scene Above the Market
在多數人的印象中，傳統市場象徵的是柴米油鹽、此起彼落的叫賣聲與快速流動的日常節奏。然而，在 新竹市東門市場 二樓，一間小巧卻意志清晰的空間，正悄悄展現另一種城市樣貌。Traditional markets are often associated with daily necessities, noise, and constant motion. Yet, on the second floor of Dongmen Market in Hsinchu City, a small but purposeful space quietly reveals a different vision of urban life.
🟢 不是消費導向，而是關係導向Not Consumption-Driven, but Relationship-Driven
這裡是 三五好友文創茶啡坊。它不追求高翻桌率，也不以大量消費為目標，而是以「青蛙」作為核心意象，串連生態保育、藝術教育與人際支持，逐步形成一個跨世代、跨背景的交流場域。Friends, Tea and Coffee House does not chase volume or turnover. Centered on the symbolic image of the frog, it weaves together ecological conservation, art education, and human connection, forming a cross-generational and cross-disciplinary community space.
🟢 一個誕生於初心的空間A Space Born from Sincere Intention
創辦人 Candy 分享，這間店並非源於商業企劃，而是一個極為單純的念頭——「想為三五好友，留一個可以安心停靠的地方。」According to founder Candy Sun, the space was never meant to be a business project. It began with a simple wish: to create a safe harbor where close friends could rest, connect, and support one another.
🟢 從科技產業到自然現場From High-Tech Industry to Nature’s Classroom
曾長年任職科技產業、旅居美國與德國的 Candy，在高壓工作節奏中選擇走入山林，參與登山社、自然保育團體、鳥會與社會關懷組織，讓自然成為重新調整身心的力量來源。After years in the tech industry and living in the United States and Germany, Candy turned to nature—joining hiking groups, conservation organizations, bird-watching societies, and social initiatives to regain balance and perspective.
🟢 人生轉折，走向生態行動Life Transitions Leading to Ecological Action
父親過世返臺後，她歷經職涯與家庭照顧的重大轉折，選擇離開原有工作軌道，投入國家公園森林解說志工行列。「解說志工看似付出，其實收穫更多。」“Being an interpretation volunteer may look like giving, but in truth, you gain far more,” Candy reflected.
🟢 為什麼是青蛙？Why Frogs?在眾多生態主題中，她與來自科技、半導體與藝術設計領域的夥伴，共同選擇「青蛙」作為敘事主軸。原因很簡單，卻極具象徵性——青蛙，是對環境變化最敏感的指標物種。Among many ecological themes, frogs were chosen for one clear reason: they are among the most sensitive indicator species of environmental change.
🟢 把生態知識，變成看得見的藝術Turning Ecology into Visible ArtCandy
指出，臺灣目前共有 38 種青蛙與蟾蜍，包含 15 種特有種、7 種保育類、6 種外來種。店內特別以樟樹木幹為展示主體，呈現 6 種臺灣原生種青蛙，其中 4 種為保育類，並以 1:1 比例呈現。Inside the shop, six native Taiwanese frog species—four of them protected—are displayed at actual scale on a camphor tree installation, allowing visitors to intuitively grasp their real size and fragility.
🟢 不只是咖啡館，而是城市的中繼站More Than a Café—A Relay Station for the CityCandy
將「三五好友文創茶啡坊」定位為——文化交流的中繼站、知識分享的中繼站、心靈支持的中繼站。「少子化的時代，朋友更重要。」“In an era of declining birth rates, friendships matter more than ever,” she said, explaining that “Friends” represents quality over quantity, and mutual support.
🟢 從一隻青蛙，映照一座城市From One Frog, Reflecting an Entire City
從一隻青蛙出發，這間隱身市場二樓的小店，悄然完成了一場關於生態、藝術與人之間關係的社群實驗。它不高聲宣傳，卻在日常之中，為城市留下一處溫柔而堅定的靈魂據點。Starting from a single frog, this hidden space quietly completes a community experiment exploring the relationship between ecology, art, and humanity—leaving behind a gentle yet resilient anchor for the city’s soul.
