The outside is more impressive than inside if you're after that Japanese tea experience. Good selection at various price points, tasty tea snacks, and unhurried. A relaxing afternoon.
Handmade frames. Styles are mostly Japanese and Korean "bookish" styles of that's your thing. Nice folks good service and good quality
Huge portions, great value, not exactly authentic but won't mistake it for anything other than Italian fare. Owners super friendly. Good for dates.
Tiny grassroots organic/natural foods and products store with mostly pantry products and sometimes fresh veg. Meticulously vetted and sourced. Not fake like most "organic" in Taiwan.
Cocktails are below par but good wine list And the best selection of boutique spirits in Taipei makes up for it. DJ is bad, only closing music is good & slinky. Spacious, Industrial and low-lit
One of the few adult places in Taipei. Wine list short but priced for value. Serene garden-like atmosphere. Unpretentious, town & country refinement, and relaxing. Not much eats don't show up hungry.
Best quality natural/organic products in Taiwan. And cheapest too. Become a member and learn about the strict standards they impose: unlike all the fake organic certified crap big tw industry peddle

Crust still dusty and dry; pizza still soggy in center. Quality ingredients, authentic flavor profile. Owners are super nice and gave me a slug of Nonino moscato grappa from their stash
Full Svc print shop. TPE should support this place. It's practically the last commercial photo printing place in Taipei. Also has pro grade paper. ridiculously cheap compared to China or the U.S.
Tiny place facing shimin overpass and the double-pane Windows saves it from being noisy. Short coffee menu for coffee (as opposed to flavored milk) drinkers. The women are bilingual and really sweet
Run by Peruvian family. A chicken shack just like you'd find in Latin Am or Caribbean. Can be a tad dry and under-seasoned if customers are few.
An airport coffee shop that serves single origin pourover -- could be lots worse. Not as proficient as in the city (rude tourists) but pretty good.
One single origin bean Pourover per day and the quality is high. Great value for the money.
Spicy pork stew with the gamey porcine sinew muted by appley minty perilla leaves and seed. Hearty yet not leaden. Cheap and tasty
The female bartender is well-trained and the list is legit for the pesky imbiber. Vieux Carre is not an easy drink to balance and rarely on menus in Asia and she did ok.
White beef soup, thin slices brisket, thin flour noodles, adjust your own salt and spicy. Huge clean beef flavor. AYCE kimchi Napa and daikon. Open 24h and dirt cheap for the value.
Probably the best izakaya on the west side, if not a contender for top izakaya in Taipei. 25 seats, always crowded, specializing in Okinawa flavors.
Importer of major wineries with some solid labels such as Roger Sabon, Susana Balbo etc. No great deals or amazing finds but good value and selection. Friendly staff.
