Beitou District, Taipei City｜拾米屋 SheMe house

From the outside, the place looks like an abandoned property. The building used to be a warehouse for grains while Japan was controlling Taiwan. It is nicely decorated with open space. The hand drip coffee beans selection was just right, 5 beans. They roast the beans on site. The pastry chef makes all the cake and desserts onsite. The fresh pear cake definitely reflects the freshness of the pear with a little fruit acid taste. I will recommend a stronger taste coffee to go with the fruit cake since most of hand drip coffee has a taste of sourness already. The Port wine chocolate cake was not awesome, but it goes well with a lighted roasted drip coffee. Great place to relax in the afternoon.

Sadly to be told that one of the favourite, lemon tart, was sold out. But we tried salted pineapple pound cake & chocolate chiffon cake w/ice cream. Both were outstanding! Cakes were served warm and especially the warm chocolate chiffon cake matched with milk ice cream sooo well! And it made me look forward to lemon tart more ;) Hand drip coffee was also good with choices from various origins.

It's a very cool café which is reform from a warehouse. I didn't try the drilled coffee. But, the Americano is good enough. Besides, the dessert is great. I'll come again when I am around
