Xinyi District, Taipei City｜kafeD Taipei 101 Shop

Dec 2022 Located on floor 89 in Taipei 101, this place does actual special coffee (which takes time to make) and has very delicious cakes. For non-Chinese speaking visitors, rest assured the staff do speak (accented) English. The place usually has a long line and has its own small dining area. The dining area is dimly lit and the tables each have their own small light. Note there are only about 6 small tables, and people like to linger. There is an alcove to the side, by the counter, to throw away trash and leave used dishes. An important thing to note is the coupons the ticket people give you when you purchase your observatory ticket. One coupon is specifically for KafeD, where you can get some amount off (I forgot the specific $ amount) if you buy 1 specialty coffee AND 1 cake. The specialty coffees are the coffees on the first page, helpfully labeled "Specialty Coffee"; any other drink does not count for the coupon. For non-coffee drinkers who still want to use a coupon, you can use the $ (again, forgot the specific amount) off any purchase over NT$500 coupon. I am personally not a coffee drinker (caffeine makes me sleepy), so I cannot say what the coffee is like. But their cakes are delicious! The Lemon Basil was particularly interesting, with a basil flavored center; I highly recommend. I would definitely come back for the cakes, and I may try some of their non-caffeine drinks. Though I will go to their non-Taipei 101 location instead 😄.

Had a blue mountain coffee and a yogurt berries cake. The cake is nice, not too sweet and the sponge is fresh. The blue mountain coffee tastes good but not really worth the price it comes with.
