Zhongzheng District, Taipei City｜Zhenfei Coffee Shop

Super nice and patient staff, willing to put up with my poor Chinese to help me find something I like. 😅 They're happy to explain things and suggest beans or preparations to suit your taste, and willing to make you samples of their large variety of beans to try (typically as a pourover or espresso/Americano, with or without milk etc). At least one member can speak a bit of English, too. Prices for 225g bags seem reasonable particularly if you take advantage of their promotions. They also have member discounts that sound interesting if you make a ton of coffee at home. Their regular cafe menu also uses two types of blends, separate from their single origin selections, with their "Cup of Excellence" blend being pricier. 謝謝你們很耐心地幫我找到適合我的咖啡豆！

The huge selection of coffee beans, machines of all sorts, adorable staff, and fair prices make Zhenfei a highlight of Taipei's emerging coffee culture.

Good bean, good brew.
