Banqiao District, New Taipei City｜SECOND FLOOR CAFE Banqiao Branch

Unlimited freshly baked bread, freshly squeezed juice, and smoked salmon are all delicious

Have been there twice: Love their interior design, vibe, service and food. There are several different choices for brunch. It definitely fits everyone one. Highlight: Pet friendly 🐶🐱 BTW wanna share an inspired quote on their customize cup: Everything you need will come to you at the PERFECT TIME.

it does credit to 2nd fl that all locations are consistently in mid-4-⭐ range i chalk this up to staff -- naturally sure you can reno -- you can turn a mound into a spaceship but you ain't gonna get stellar reviews & regulars & non-stop turnover without adherence to quality & standards & you genuinely feel that staff are happy & proud to be part of 2fl (i think it's time to design new tees for staff -- specific to each location -- reflective of design intent & local colour : Zhongshan has so many hair salons & vintage shops it'd be fun to take staff face shape & let them select a pompadour or a mullet & this 2-tone tee has a distinctive back for each & get seasonal with tees : moon 🌕 festival coming up & custom New Balances would add to casual-fun-professionalism & give a refresh that isn't a new coat of paint & i believe it'd boost morale even further best part of being on a sports team growing up is getting your own jersey i think a corporation / a business that views staff & customers in the same way : for whom we shall endeavour in creating memories is a company that befits the time) layers of customer satisfaction feedback built-in : usually it's the wait staff who took your order to come back after a while & asks if all's to your liking this time i got a supervisor normally i've never had issue with food, food prep, food quality ever at 2fl but this time the main of the main came a little underwhelming : steak wasn't sizzling sure one could taste the quality of meat sure the toast & fries were outstanding as always but why is the steak seemingly have sat at the window or under-warmed up ? sure enough supervisor went to kitchen & informed manager so the issue was addressed as i walked out the steak is prepped sous-vide by a vendor & warmed & finished in pan on site the goal -- obviously -- is to go healthy so like those new age bentos with calories info this steak is for the very health-conscious & isn't served on a griddle splattering grease i suggested finishing in the pan as last step of assemblage & maybe just a bit of sizzle -- in olive oil if we're picking good fats (until the steak is addressed don't get this platter -- order literally anything else & you'll be fine -- steak is a blip) overall a chain's continued expansion (banqiao spaceship launched March 2022) suggests something is being done right & done consistently right & when you get invited to inhabit the mound beneath Google & FET you know you're the it-hobbit (as i watched staff adjust pegs on tables to balance it occurred to me that the next 2fl might have electric-adjust tables) & isn't it time to synergize ? i propose the next location offers suite services on premises so moms can mimosa-brunch while kids are building with oversized Legos salons & pets beauty care yoga & yo-twerk lessons the best part of visiting this new 2fl is the onslaught of innovation it inspires 2fl sure but what's on 3fl & 4fl ? tMac 🦖 Karol has my contact 2fl owners feel free to call to chat
