The cafe is located on a quiet street lined with beautiful tall trees. It has a great coffee chatting and lingering atmosphere with its soft lighting and modern chic decor.
Their coffee is some of the best that I have had in Taiwan. Jimmy Yang (楊啟鉉) lived in Melbourne, Australia (my favorite city in Australia), for 20 years and knows how top-shelf their coffee is and how hard it is to get good coffee in Taiwan. He buys his coffee beans from Toby's Estate, an Australia coffee company and has it flown in to preserve the freshness. I lived in Australia for a year and miss the great coffee in Melbourne and Sydney, so I was delighted when my friend found this place.
I've tried two of their pasta dishes. The pesto chicken is easily the best pesto pasta I've had in Taiwan. You can taste the powerful pesto flavor. It isn't a runny sauce like in other restaurants in Taiwan. If you're a vegetarian, they can replace the chicken with mushrooms. The other pasta dish I tried was a marinara sauce which was pretty good.
I tried the margherita and the seafood pizza, which wasn't cheap. The seafood pizza was horrible because it was soggy and salty. The margherita pizza was completely bland tasting. I really don't recommend the pizza.
Follow up your pasta and coffee with some dessert. Their cheesecake is delicious and the tiramisu is pretty good. Australian beer and wine is available as well.
Vegetarian options: Margherita Pizza, Vegetarian Pizza, Veg Pasta al Pomodoro (tomato), Veg Pasta al Pesto, Veg Pasta alla Carbonara, different Salads, Saute Mushrooms, Mozza on toast with Tomato Basil, and all desserts of course.
