The obsession for cafes has gone so wild that many countries have jumped into this global trend. More and more people are travelling, and many expects good coffees these days rather than having a cup at Starbucks or Coffee Bean. Besides cafes, private roasters are also constantly popping up.
Taipei City is one place that is always known for their night markets, street snacks and shopping districts. However today, other than the mentioned, they are also one of those countries that are popular for their cafe scene. With the increasing competition amongst cafes, one not only have to serve up a cup of decent coffee, but also offer pretty (or Instagram-worthy) food that not only looks good, but tastes good as well.
Here's the list of cafes that I visited in Taipei, ranked based on personal preference. Some were not planned, some underrated ones turned out to be good, some popular ones turned out to be disappointing, and some are just so worth to give it a try!
咖啡厅近几年来越来越受欢迎，卷起一股新潮流。越来越多人开始旅游，提高了人们对咖啡的质量需求，已经不是仅仅在星巴克点杯普通咖啡那么简单。除了咖啡厅，也有不少私人咖啡学院的诞生。
台北市著名于夜市，街边美食和 shopping。但如今，也是卷起咖啡厅潮流的国家之一。竞争激烈，今日的咖啡厅不只得泡出好咖啡，还得献上不仅好看，也要好吃的饮食。
以下就是我在台北所光顾的咖啡厅，以个人喜欢拍出前后。有些没排在行程中，巧遇。有些令人失望。有些不受好评的，原来还挺不错！
Meat Up
Meat Up is one of those cafes that wasn't planned for and after multiple times of passing it, I decided to pop in one morning. And surprisingly, it became my favourite cafe out of the 20 over cafes that I have visited during this trip!
Meat Up has a really simple menu - customized beef burger and some juices, yogurts and milkshakes. The food was awesome, though it's a little silly to have Western in Taipei, but seriously, no regrets. The Strawberry Mango Juice that I had came in ice blended form unknowingly and it was so good! The presentation was so pretty and they provide menus in 4 languages - Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean! It's NTD140, and I would rather pay for this than a cup of Mango Milk from Hot Star Ice Tea which was down the street at NTD145.
Meat Up 就是其一没排在行程中。每天从我住宿前往西门町地铁站时，都会经过这间咖啡厅。所以某个早上，决定进去试试。令人惊异，它竟然成为我在台北去过的 20 多间咖啡厅里的最爱！
Meat Up 的菜单非常简单 - 自配牛肉汉堡，果汁，酸奶酪和奶昔。食物超好吃！虽然在美食天堂的台北吃西式有点傻，但如果没来这真的会后悔。我也点了草莓芒果果汁，来的竟然是冰沙版本，超好喝，人间美味！呈现方式都很精美，菜单也有 4 种语言 - 中，英，日，韩 - 非常贴心。这果汁售台币 140，觉得还算可以。到豪大买杯芒果冰都要台币 145，而且没比这果汁好喝。芒果冰也只是新鲜芒果块加牛奶，没什么特别。

Boite de Bijou 珠宝盒法式点心坊
Boite de Bijou is like a premium French-style bakery cafe. It reminds me much of Singapore's Antoinette. They serve really good French cakes and sweets, as well as artisan bread. I had the Fraisier, which is French-style strawberry shortcake. I believe it's a new item as it wasn't on the menu and they were promoting it, but everything was in Chinese and I couldn't understand, but well I still decided to go for it.
Apart from that, I also had Calisson Nature and Calisson Pistache. They are traditional French sweets made from candied fruit and ground almond (natural flavour), topped with royal icing. Both flavours were equally good and not overly sweet!
珠宝盒法式点心房是间顶级法式咖啡厅，让人联想到新加坡的 Antoinette。他售卖精致的法式糕点和手工面包。我点了 Fraisier，法式草莓奶油蛋糕。我相信这是新产品，没在菜单上。
处置意外，我也点了 Calisson Nature 和 Calisson Pistache。它们是法式传统甜点，原味有杏仁做成，上面一层糖霜。两种口味都非常好吃，不会太甜。

Matcha One 抹茶一
Matcha One is a popular matcha-themed cafe. Myowa located down the street, is another popular matcha-themed cafe, but I chose to try Matcha One instead. There were so many great matcha options and eventually I decided to go for the Matcha Adzuki Crepe Cake and Matcha Drop.
Matcha Adzuki Crepe Cake consists of the crepes layered with super good matcha pastry cream, sweet adzuki paste and a side of matcha cream, to pour over the cake. The sweetness of the adzuki paste balances very well with the bitter matcha pastry cream. However, Matcha Drop on the other hand was lacking in matcha flavour. It is basically milk with black pearls and matcha, and it tasted quite diluted, almost like water.
抹茶一是间著名抹茶主题咖啡厅。隔一两条街是 Myowa，也是间著名抹茶主题咖啡厅，不过我选先试抹茶一。有许多抹茶甜点，饮料可选。最后我选了抹茶红豆千层蛋糕和抹茶珍珠。
抹茶红豆千层蛋糕包括抹茶奶油和红豆酱，抹茶的苦配上红豆的甜，非常好吃。外方是一小壶的抹茶酱，让你淋在蛋糕上，拍照也好看。可是抹茶珍珠就令人失望，抹茶味太淡了。

Nom Nom
Nom Nom is a pretty quiet and cozy cafe to hang out. I had a cappuccino while waiting to get a seat at Matcha One. The coffee was really good and strong, but I think it is really over-dusted with cocoa powder.
Nom Nom 时间宁静，舒适的咖啡厅，在这很享受。抹茶一人很多，必须排队等座位。所以在等待的过程中，在这享用了杯卡布奇诺。咖啡很浓，很香，但觉得可可粉是不是放了有点多？

Long Time Ago Cafe 梦游咖啡馆
While you can guess how this cafe is like from its Chinese name... '梦游' means 'dreaming', and this cafe is really so la-la-land-ish like. It has many pop colours, cushions, stuffed toys and fairy lights. And while I was sitting there by the entrance, the cafe was quickly filled up, during an off-peak hour. Long Time Ago Cafe is popular for its latte art, and you can request for something that you like; if they can do it, they will do it for you! My Matcha Milk comes served with a cute pig stencil!
从店名大概就能猜到该店的概念吧～ 像在睡梦中的魔幻世界里，鲜艳颜色，抱枕，洋娃娃和灯串。在入口的沙发默默坐着的我，在非方忙时段，这咖啡厅也很快地便客满。梦游咖啡馆著名于他的拿铁拉花。我点的抹茶牛奶有一只可爱的小猪。

White Whale 白色鲸鱼
White Whale is popular for its pretty dried flowers and duo ice tea option that goes at NTD90! They sell a range of coffee and tea, as well as some simple panini. Their flowers are so pretty, I can't help but to bring home a small bouquet! If you are there, say hi to their cute little pet cat that sits quietly at a corner. 😬
白色鲸鱼著名于他的干花和双冰茶选择，只需台币 90！他们售卖咖啡，茶和一些简单的烤三文治。花们都很漂亮，不由自禁买了一小束。如果你到这，别忘了和他们乖乖坐在角落的猫咪打招呼。

Coffee Megane 眼睛咖啡
Not quite sure what this cafe has to do with glasses, but they are actually quite a few collection of glasses on display. I didn't really like the interior of this cafe as it was really dark, I like one that is filled with lots of natural light. However, the matcha latte that I had helped make up for the experience! It is not easy to make a good cup of matcha latte (well, they called it matcha milk there) that balances well between the matcha and the milk, and Coffee Megane did it so well. Though their matcha latte is on the steep side (NTD180), I wouldn't mind paying for it for this quality!
不晓得这咖啡厅和眼睛有什么关系，但的确有不少展示着的眼睛。不太喜欢这的室内设计，太过于暗，还是喜欢充满阳光的咖啡厅。不过店家的抹茶拿铁帮忙补充了到这的体验。要做出杯好的抹茶拿铁（当地人称为抹茶牛奶）并不容易，而眼睛咖啡泡的相当不错。虽然偏贵，但因品质值得。

Skin Food Cafe
Skin Food Cafe is a new development by Skin Food. Well, this wasn't planned for but I decided to drop by after seeing some grand opening photos online. The cafe is in a really clean design of white, beidge, yellow and grey. They even have a make-up station at the side of the cafe! The whole place was really pretty and cheerful. I wanted to order a banana smoothie so that it comes out white/yellow, and matches with the surroundings for photo-taking. But they only had strawberry and grape smoothie left. Grape smoothie sounds bad so I went for the strawberry.
Skin Food Cafe 没排在行程当中。巧遇在网上看见开展典礼的照片，决定去看看。这咖啡厅以白，奶黄，黄和灰作为主色。咖啡厅的一旁还有化妆柜台！真个地方颜色漂亮，鲜艳，让人感觉开朗，舒服。原本为了符合店里的颜色，想点香蕉奶昔来拍摄。但却卖完了～ 只剩草莓或葡萄。葡萄听起来好像有点怪，所以选了草莓。

Fujin Tree 353 Cafe 富锦树353咖啡
Fujin Tree Street has become one of the new hipster places in Taipei. Fujin Tree 353 Cafe is one of the places that you can't miss out! They are the Champion for 2016 World Barista Championship, so they serve one of the best coffee. In fact, their coffee taste pretty close to the ones I had at my workplace back in Singapore, which we are also known for our good coffee. Apart from their coffee, you should also try their best seller, Castella, which is popular for its wrinkled appearance! Castella is a Japanese sponge cake, but Fujin Tree 353's version is more like a honey chiffon cake.
富锦街近几年来成了年轻人所爱溜达的地方。到这里千万不能错过去年获得国际咖啡师比赛冠军的富锦树 353 咖啡（咖啡厅）！当然咖啡一定是最好之一，说起来味道还蛮像我在新加坡售卖的咖啡。除此之外，也点了该店最好卖的 “皱皱”。它是个日式蛋糕，口感类似像蜜糖戚风蛋糕。

Woolloomooloo
Woolloomooloo is also one of the places to sit down for a good cup of coffee. I enjoyed myself sitting at the bar and people watch. Though the bar table was actually pretty narrow and it feels like my cup is gonna drop anytime! It was also really cool of them to use latte glasses as lamp shades.
Woolloomooloo 也是个可以坐下来享用杯好咖啡的地方。坐在柜台，望着在外来来去去的路人。这里竟然用拿铁杯当灯罩，太酷了吧！

Fika Fika Cafe
Fika Fika Cafe, the winner of Nordic Roaster 2013, serves simple brunch and pastries. I really love its Scandinavian-style interior design, with white walls and wooden furniture. It is a really nice place for some small gathering, chit-chat over tea, or a good place for some storybook-reading. The food and coffee was indeed pretty good!
Fika Fika Cafe 售卖一些简单热食和糕点。超爱他店里斯堪的纳维亚风格的设计，白墙壁，木家具。是个适合安排小聚会，聊聊天，喝喝茶的咖啡厅。也好一个人看看书。食物，咖啡，都挺不错！

4Mano Caffe
4Mano Caffe is an award-winning cafe in the past years and as a judge in the recent years. Besides being a cafe, they also sell a wide range of barista supplies. Apart from their coffee, they are also popular for their mochi waffle. The waffle comes served in 8 individual slices, each waffled with a piece of chewy mochi; drizzled with honey and topped with whipped cream and lime zest.
4Mano Caffe 是个连续得奖的连锁咖啡厅。近几年来也当了评审。店内也售卖许多咖啡器材。除了咖啡以外，他们也著名于他们的日式年糕华夫饼。华夫饼分 8 片，每片里都夹了块 QQ 年糕。淋上蜂蜜，外加奶油和青柠皮。

Stoppage Time 补时
Stoppage Time is a nice place to hang out, and they serve pretty good drinks and desserts. It is a popular place for studying and small group gathering. However, the service could be better as the owner and/or servers simply just give a nonchalant attitude. And, there is this guy with super long hair all over his face, seriously I could barely see his face! How would you feel if someone with long hair, covering his/her entire face, comes serving you? He is also the one behind the coffee machine, can''t imagine if any of that long strand of hair drops into the drinks!
补时也是个好歇脚的地方，饮料，糕点都不错。但，觉得客人服务有待进步。店长和服务员们似乎对客人都抱着不理不睬的态度。其中一位咖啡师，头发超长，都过肩了，也不绑起来，很不卫生。

8% Ice 8%冰淇淋专门店
8% Ice is a ice cream parlour that specializes in selling low calorie gelato/sorbet that uses milk that contains 8% fat content. Other than that, they also sell bread, cakes and pastries. I had the lychee rose water sorbet which was really good. The coffee on the other hand was disappointing as it was from the machine.
8%冰淇淋专门店专卖低卡雪糕和冰糕，只用含有 8％脂肪的牛奶。除此之外，也售卖手工面包，蛋糕和糕点。我选了荔枝玫瑰冰糕，非常棒！咖啡就令人失望～

35F Starbucks 35楼星巴克
Everyone that visits Taipei would definitely not miss this out! This is an alternatively to having to pay the admission to the observatory at the 89th floor of Taipei 101. Starbucks at the 35th floor provide the same great view and this is the only Starbucks in the world that requires an appointment to enter and each time slot entitles you 1.5hrs at Starbucks. I purposely picked the 5pm time slot so that I could see the sunset which is around 5:20pm, but since it's winter and it's cloudy and hazy for most of the time, I could barely see the sunset. ☹️
到台北千万别错过这里！若不想花费在台北 101，89 层的入门费，可以选择到这星巴克。在 35 层一样能看得清台北的景色。但，必须预约才能入进这星巴克。每一次预约时段只限 1.5 小时。我特意选了 5 点的时段，因为日落就在 5：20时。可是因为是冬天，天都灰灰色的，也看不清日落，有点小失望。

Dazzling Cafe (Pink)
Rose to fame with their signature Honey Toast, Dazzling Cafe started in 2010 by twins, Janet and Johnny. Over the years, Dazzling Cafe has expanded to many outlets and each branch has its own unique concept and specialties. Other than expanding to other parts of Taiwan, Dazzling Cafe has also franchised into Hong Kong, Singapore and China. I tried the Black Chocolate Honey Toast, which comes served with chocolate gelato, chocolate shavings, custard, fresh berries and sour cherries. The honey toast was actually just okay~ Don't understand what is the hype all about. Definitely not worth to pay for it, for something that you can simply piece it up yourself at home. I also had a caramel macchiato which was pretty good!
在 2010 年，龙凤胎 Janet 和 Johnny 创办了 Dazzling Cafe，著名于它的蜜糖吐司。Dazzling Cafe 不断扩张，跨过台湾到了香港，新加坡和中国。每家分店都有自己独特的主题与特色产品。我试了黑色幽默（黑巧克力蜜糖吐司），包括巧克力雪糕，巧克力丝，卡仕达，鲜杂莓和酸樱桃。吐司其实还 okay 而已，没什么特别。也不明白为何那么受欢迎。价格偏贵，不值得。也点了杯焦糖玛奇朵，这个不错！

Jack and Nana Coffee Store
Jack and Nana Coffee Store is one of those indie coffee places that provides coffee cupping. While, when a place provides coffee cupping, I would expect the place to have good coffee. Unfortunately, Jack and Nana's coffee is too milky for my liking. I also had a slice of cheesecake, which was quite good, but kind of small for its price. However, the crust is too thick. This cafe also has very limited seating. You probably could give this place a miss.
Jack and Nana Coffee Store 是间以专业咖啡为主的独创咖啡厅。一个以咖啡为主的地方，咖啡不用来说，一定要是有一定的水准。但，对我来说，咖啡不够浓郁，奶味已盖过咖啡香。我也点了片乳酪蛋糕，这个不错，但塔壳太厚了。以价格来算，算小。这咖啡厅也不大，座位也不多。没兴趣的话，可以错过这里。

Somebody Cafe 贰拾陆巷
I believe Somebody Cafe used to be quite popular many years back, but with the many hipster cafes around now, Somebody Cafe seems to be a little outdated. They are popular for their monochrome doodles, which can be seen around the cafe and as merchandises. However, they neither sell good food or coffee. So, you can actually give this place a miss if you don't have extra time.
我相信贰拾陆巷在几年前算有名。但近几年来，竞争激烈，该咖啡厅似乎已过时。他们著名于自画的黑白 “涂鸦”。在墙上，商品上都能看到。但，既没有好咖啡，也没有好食物。可以错过这！

Shelter 别所
Shelter was one of those to-visit cafes in Taipei, but I don't see what's so unique about this cafe. Neither the drinks nor the food was good, especially the food. I had the traditional rice rolls, which comes served with Taiwan sausages. It was so hard that I could barely chew it. And, for that same price that I am paying for at Shelter, I can get so much better food of the same price at other cafes. I deserve better.
别所是在网上推荐必去的咖啡厅，可是我觉得没什么特别。餐饮两者都令人失望，尤其是食物。我点了传统饭团，台湾香肠包括在内。那香肠实在是太硬了。在别所所付的价格，根本一点都不值得。

A Poet
A Poet is like a cafe by day, bistro by night. The sun sets really early in Taipei during this period, like 5:20pm? There is so many cafes that is on my list that some upon visiting, the sky is already dark. I try to visit as much as I can during the day as photos always turns out to be better in natural light. By the time I reach A Poet, it has already been converted to dinner setting and the whole place is really really dark. I could barely see anything clearly! On the menu are some regular Italian/Western food which I didn't really fancy so I just had a cup of coffee. Probably not going to visit this place again.
A Poet 白天是咖啡厅，晚上是酒馆。台北好早太阳就下山了，才 5：20 时？所以当我抵达 A Poet 时，该店以转换为酒馆，整间店黑漆漆的。菜单是意式料理，没感兴趣，所以只点了杯咖啡。大概不会推荐这里。

Cafe Trouve 找到咖啡
One of the cafes that I was so looking forward to was Cafe Trouve. As seen online, Cafe Trouve is set in a small Japanese-like wooden house. However, after much finding, I realised that they have moved and is now located on the 2nd floor of a building, which makes them nothing unique from other cafes. Their last order was at 8pm, so ended up I couldn't order any food. I ordered a mocha that says 'Candy Floss Mocha' on the menu, but ended up that 'candy floss' that they were referring to was actually MARSHMALLOW. Wrong translatioan from Chinese, OMG~ Feel so cheated!!! Never coming back to this cafe again ever, and that explains why it is ranked last on my list.
找到咖啡是我非常期待的咖啡厅之一。在网上所看到的找到咖啡，是由间日式小木屋为店面。但找了很久，才发现原来已经搬了位置。现在在间建筑的二楼，就变成没什么新鲜感。厨房晚上 8 店关闭，所以到了时候，只能点饮料或蛋糕。
