Xinyi District, Taipei City｜Simple Kaffa

Wow what can I say, simply breathtaking! Great atmosphere, great food and drinks and amazing views! I booked this place quite last minute for a Friday evening and managed to get seats. The sky was overcasted and it was drizzling all day which could be a reason why seats were available. The cafe is located on level 88 of Taipei 101, and to get there it was actually quite confusing to get to as you’ll have to go to level 2, and a staff from the cafe will check you into the lift lobby before you proceed to another higher level to change to level 88. Level 88 itself feels very exclusive. There’s a viewing area on that level before you reach the cafe. The cafe itself isn’t big but nonetheless very grand looking. There’s a standing area overlooking the outside that appears to be free for anyone to go to. As for the seating area closest to the windows, there’s a very high minimum spend. For the seats on the inside, there is also a minimum spend but lesser. I can’t remember how much ours was, but by ordering 2 beverages and a tiramisu we managed to hit that minimum spend. It was definitely not the cheapest as everything was marked up. Nonetheless it was still a great way to see the view from above and also take in the sunset. Highly recommend!

Such a rich experience to enjoy the great quality of coffee while enjoying the view from 88th floor. Not only enjoying the cafe, but also you can buy coffee beans here. It’s along with instruction card to enjoy the coffee beans at home, which I think it would be a nice souvenir option for coffee fans :)

Came on a Sunday morning, the concierge will ask you to pick your table on the ground floor, where the window seats are 500 minimum spend per person. A coffee and a snack will reach that amount per person here, so if the seats are available, recommend to consider the windows for a better view.
