Xinyi District, Taipei City｜% ARABICA Taipei Elephant Mountain

One of the richest and full bodied coffee I've ever had, and you definitely pay the price for it. Can be a bit pricey for Asia standards, you're paying regular American price for a cup but it's well worth it. I got the Kyoto latte, added in a little sweetener and it was easily the best cup of coffee I've ever had. I've had my fair share of blue bottle, Philz, Pete's, local cafes and date I say this is the best cup I've ever had. Highly recommended grabbing a cup for the hike up elephant mountain, you're going to want it for that extra boost of energy.

I visited Arabica coffee shop on the first day of a long holiday and was surprised to find that there was no queue at all. I decided to try the Spanish coffee, which is an espresso-based drink with normal milk and condensed milk. I was very impressed by the taste and quality of the coffee, especially since I rarely have coffee with condensed milk in Taiwan. The croissant I ordered was also very tasty and made for a great pairing with the coffee. The staff who took my order spoke excellent English and gave me some great recommendations. As for the location, I have no complaints. I think it's just perfect and I'm not sure why others have complained about it.

I thought this place was fine The canelli was delicious and the croissant flaky. The coffee was fine to me. This place is so hipster if you're into it haha.
