Like the outdoor seating, good people watching. Coffee is not bad but a little pricy and nothing special.

Single origin coffee (Ethiopian) and an interesting strawberry. Good pastries, great coffee, nice workers who speak English well (for those who don’t speak mandarin). Highly recommend!

One of my go-to coffee shops in Taipei. What initially attracted me to it was the laid back corner location with the outdoor seating... What will keep you coming back is the good coffee and friendly service. Wish they had Wi-Fi though ;)
