I decided to do a review and share this lovely place after my fourth visit because I think Coffee & Waffle is a type of place that many would enjoy visiting during their Tamsui day trip. They use a quality Italian espresso machine to make a nice cup of coffee, the staff is very friendly, and the atmosphere on the second floor -- which includes window seating for people watching -- has a quaint and lovely atmosphere. The only other place in Tamsui where I've had good coffee, dessert, and a nice atmosphere, was at Amanda Cafe, but unfortunately a cappuccino will set you back NT$160 at Amanda Cafe. That's a bit more than I'd like to shell out on most days.
I'd tried other coffee shops in the area and was disappointed every time. On my first visit to Coffee & Waffle I got a cappuccino to-go, and I was very satisfied with it, so I kept the place in mind for future Tamsui visits. On my second visit, I got another cappuccino to-go and was just as satisfied, which showed me they most likely had good consistency. On my third visit, I was taking my Scotish friend, who was in the country for a few days, up to Tamsui for sightseeing. We were accompanied by one of my Taiwanese friends. It was on this visit that I finally drank and ate within the cafe instead of getting a coffee to-go. We all loved the second floor's atmosphere, the coffee, and the dessert items were pretty nice and went great with our drinks. On my fourth visit, a friend and I enjoyed a lazy Tamsui day where we spent some time on the second floor of Coffee & Waffle, enjoying Coffee & Waffle's afternoon tea set. It was perfect and became the highlight of our day in Tamsui.
Coffee & Waffle fulfills many desires: a quality coffee to-go, a solo visit for widow-seating people watching, a solo visit for laptop zombification, an outing for a small-sized family, or an outing with one or a small group of friends. It's a perfect place to spend some time on a Tamsui day trip. The main reason that I highly recommend Coffee & Waffle is because of their sugarless cappuccinos and lattes. They own a legendary, high quality Italian espresso machine: the Faema E61. It was named after a total solar eclipse that darkened the sky over Italy in 1961. "The E61 was a technological innovation that remains unsurpassed to this day in its specific industrial field."

Take a look at the two different legendary models of the Faema E61 Italian espresso machine. Coffee & Waffle uses the Jubilé A2 model.
