Doris (Kwai Lun Mei) is one ambitious girl whose dream is to open an elegant coffee shop. After quitting her designing job at the age of 28 she decides to open a cafe called Doris's Cafe, and their specialty is serving latte, espresso and variety of cakes. In the beginning her business is not good as expected.

Then it is her mother's (Yuli Ma) decision to ask Josie (Zaizai Lin), her younger sister to help Doris out in the cafe. She then got an idea on how to improve her sister's coffee shop business by putting odd items such as antiques that are strictly for exchange purpose only and not for sale. Soon their business start to grow again.

One day a young male customer called Chou (Chang Han) brings 35 bars of soap to their cafe for exchange. However, he does not know what things he could exchange with the soaps but he does have stories to share for each of them. The more he tells the more Doris starts to dream of travelling overseas.

Another Japanese customer (Atari Kosuke) discovers a rare music book and would like to exchange by singing two songs. After listening to so many travelling stories from their customers from all walks of life Doris decides to leave her cafe to Josie and embarks on her own journey.
