Aunt Stella's has been making handmade cookies and cakes since 1982. Their products are mostly coveted as gifts since the packaging is nice and they've built up a name for themselves in Taiwan. I've never tried their cookies and cakes, so I won't comment on them other than to say that they seem overpriced to me. This review is based on Aunt Stella's cafe locations.
Most of their menu selection is Italian: panini, risotto, gnocchi, and spaghetti. They also have quiche, waffles, breakfast, dessert, coffee, tea, chocolate drinks, and smoothies. I tried their two main items: panini and spaghetti. I wasn't expecting much, but I was surprised to find both to be quite satisfying. I thought their food would be like many Taiwanese cafes that fail to provide the correct Western flavors that derive from spices, herbs, and sauce. Both the tomato and creamy spaghetti sauces in the two different spaghetti dishes I tried held nice flavors, and the spaghetti was cooked al dente instead of being too soggy. The panino (singular for panini) that I tried was also flavorful and contained legit spices and sauce. The bread of the panino was quality as well.
Overall, I'd say that Aunt Stella's has some nice food at their cafe locations, but I'd also say that it's a bit overpriced, and I can think of several other places I'd rather go to get a better panino or spaghetti dish for the same price or cheaper. For panini, two places come to mind that I'd rather visit instead of Aunt Stella's: Island Cafe (二條通) and Toasteria. For spaghetti, three places come to mind that I'd rather visit: Solo Pasta, Mia Cucina, and Botega del Vin.
Vegetarian options: Creamy Pesto with Vegetables Gnocchi (NT$260), Mushroom and Truffle Essence Quiche (NT$150), Full House Salad (NT$230), Waffles (NT$180-220), Dessert (NT$150), Cookies, and Cakes.
