Wilbeck is one of the best coffee shops in Taipei. The prices are affordable and the quality is top notch. Wilbeck opened its first location, which is a hole in the wall, near Taipei Main Station. Wilbeck has built up a dedicated following amongst coffee lovers in Taipei. They slowly opened up more branches throughout Taipei as the years went by: 5 locations in total at the time of this review. You'll find quality coffee at every single one of their locations. Their location near Taipei 101 (a six-minute walk from 101) is the largest and most comfortable location when it comes to lounging. That location is always playing excellent music, making the lounging experience all that much more exquisite. It's located on Wuxing Street, which I call Coffee Street because there are about six coffee shops all pretty close to each other on that street.
The only other stellar coffee shop chain I can think of with great prices and quality coffee is Cama. My friends and I love both. The difference between the two when it comes to a cappuccino or latte would be that Cama is more bitter (coffee lovers who appreciate the strong flavor of coffee over a milky taste love this, like myself), whereas Wilbeck is a little weaker in regards to caffeine and doesn't have a bitter flavor, rather, a smooth milky taste with a hint of bitterness at the end. Wilbeck definitely does a better job at blending the milk with the coffee. It comes down to preference for each particular coffee connoisseur as to which will be enjoyed more.
Excellent and unique-flavored lattes are where Wilbeck soars above its competitors. I usually stick to a sugarless cappuccino when it comes to my coffee intake, but when venturing through Wilbeck's flavored lattes for this review, I was more pleased than at any other coffee shop. I enjoyed every one of their flavored lattes that I tried, but have to say that their banana latte was my favorite of the bunch. Two of their other excellent flavored lattes I tried that are sure to entice coffee drinkers would be their Bailey's Latte and Maple Syrup Brandy Latte; real Bailey's and brandy are used.
