The experience
A Ximending coffee house that has been open since 1956 and is credited with introducing iced coffee to Taipei, still run by the founding family. The front half looks like a provision shop — Chinese biscuits in big glass jars on one side, tins of roasted beans on the other, the roaster working in the window — while the back is a dim, narrow room of small tables. Coffee is brewed by syphon from Arabica beans including Blue Mountain, across about a dozen blends. It opens at 8am daily and serves Western breakfast plates alongside.
Seventy years of syphon coffee and biscuit jars in the middle of Ximending, still roasting its own beans by the window.
