Wilbeck is one of the better coffee shops in Taipei. It's one of the few places in Taipei where you can get great coffee at some of the lowest prices. Wilbeck has built up a dedicated following amongst coffee lovers in Taipei with their brew.

Another stellar coffee shop chain 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 (in a good way) and contains more caffeine; Wilbeck is weaker in regards to caffeine and doesn't have a bitter flavor, rather, a smooth milky taste with possibly a hint of bitterness at the end, all of which will lower the chance of conjuring up anxiousness from your coffee if you're susceptible to caffeine. Wilbeck does a better job at blending the milk with the coffee and creates cool latte art (if that's important for you), but it comes down to preference for each particular coffee connoisseur as to which will be enjoyed more, or what is needed on any given particular day or time: One might choose greater caffeine content coffee (Cama) if they need that extra energy to wake up or help them complete a strenuous task, or one might choose a smoother coffee with nice latte artwork (Wilbeck) if they plan on leisurely drinking two cups while doing whatever. Some people will like Wilbeck better because their body gets too jittery from the amount of caffeine that is in a cup of coffee at Cama. Some people will prefer Cama because they want that glorious caffeine pumping through their body and like their coffee with a stronger coffee flavor. I do like the mugs and latte art at Wilbeck, but I prefer Cama because it's more important for me to have a strong-tasting coffee with an excellent level of caffeine.

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. Their matcha latte is probably the best that I've ever had in my life. If you like sweet coffee drinks, I recommend getting the Honwakatou Sugar Coffee Latte, because the sugar used from Okinawa is powerful but smooth at the same time. If you want some alcohol in your latte, order their tantalizing Bailey's Coffee Latte.
