ODD ONE OUT Dunnan Shop — Restaurant in Da'an District

Absolutely needed to check out "Off One Out" at its original location here in Taipei. I first experienced their shops both in Pasadena and LA-Sawtelle, and loved it both times. So imagine my joy when I came here and it was not only cheaper than back home, but no line?!

Their boba here is famous for having earned numerous accolades in Taiwan. Their Champion Milk Tea is famous and a must try. For me, I went with an Assam Milk Tea with Oat Milk and less ice/sugar, and I loved that my drink was made with real tea and that they offered non-dairy milk (which to my surprise is not that common at boba shops here in Taiwan).

I also love how it is kind of a walk and a trek to get there. It’s in a hidden alley which adds to the whole...

Tea lovers, don't miss this place! It's located in the Daan District of Taipei City. The front of the shop is cutely decorated, making it a perfect spot for photos. It might not be popular among tourists, but I noticed that locals visit all the time while I was there.

There are many kinds of tea bases to choose from — such as Jasmine Green, Alishan Jinxuan, Jade Oolong, Red Oolong, Icy Peak, Iron Buddha, and Earl Grey. You can mix and match to create your favorite blend, or simply pick one from their menu if you're not sure what to try. They also offer gelato ice cream and...
