Don't let the lack of cycling decorations fool you, this place is opened by an avid cyclist FOR cyclists. As of April 30, 2022, they've only soft opened, but menu and sitting area is in full swing. Updated review to come when they've officially opened.

Osmanthus latte was so unique and delicious! They have oat milk for the lactose intolerant. My friend got the hot chocolate which was also so good. Peaceful vibes

The coffee here is excellent! I ordered a latte, and as someone who lives in Melbourne, Australia—where we take our coffee seriously—I’m quite particular about flavour and how the milk is frothed. They executed it beautifully, with smooth texture and perfect latte art on top. Highly recommended for anyone in need of a proper, well-made coffee!

Everything I ordered were beyond my expectations. Sits are comfortable. You can smell freshly roasted coffee beans in the air. Strongly recommended !

Lovely, minimalistic place. Owner was roasting while I was there. I would rate the hot cappuccino (NTD110) an 8 out of 10. Beautiful latte art. The beans however were likely quite heavily roasted, so I did not pick up much subtlety. Great place to get work done!

Beyond my expectations! I had the Geisha pour over, as well as the dirty latte. The mango crepe layered cake was soft, perfectly sweet, moist. The atmosphere is very mellow but very hip. Did not expect this where it’s located and it’s one of the reasons I love Taipei. I’ll look back at this place very fondly

I really like this place atmosphere, it is quiet enough to do some work but also a good place to have a chat with friends. I ordered the charcoal latte just because I liked how it looked on the pictures, it was surprise it really taste so good. I also ordered a cinnamon roll, the flavor was fine but a bit dry, I hope they can add some toppings like cream cheese so it will be more tasty. The staff was really friendly.
