Out Of Office Coffee Roastery 不在辦公室 金華店 — Restaurant in Da'an District

My wife and I stopped by today while walking around the shops in the neighborhood. Our first impression from the outside and walking in is there is a very luxurious atmosphere.

The design is very modern. It’s pretty quiet inside besides a vinyl music player, light talking noise, and the barista coffee machines.

The staff was very helpful, handing us the english menu and showing us which coffees to choose from on the inside of the menu. The menu is a very creative newspaper style folded brochure. We chose to dine-in so and sat at the counter.

We ordered an iced Ethiopian pour over for myself, a brown sugar iced latte for my wife, and a cinnamon roll to share. My pour over was very smooth to taste. My wife loved her latte saying it is very creamy and sweet - she usually doesn’t finish her lattes as fast as she enjoyed this one. The cinnamon roll was a flaky style, very delicious as well, not too sweet, and fairly big in size so good to share.

Last coffee order is...

This is such a nice cafe! It is definitely for the coffee connoisseurs in Taipei. There are no added flavors or sugar options and the coffee menu is pretty standard with what drinks they offer. I ordered a cappuccino and asked for sugar. They brought me a little cup of brown sugar with a spoon and it was perfect. The foam on the cappuccino was so rich and the espresso was very smooth. It had the perfect balance of sweet and bitter. The cinnamon roll was a croissant cinnamon roll. It was honestly the best cinnamon roll I’ve ever had. So butter and crispy and soft in the middle. I highly recommend spending a morning here.

There is a minimum spend of one drink per person and a limit of 2hrs in the cafe. The service was so so nice. They came to me and took my order, brought me my order and were so kind and soft...

No chocolate (!?) and WiFi that specifically WON'T allow my Taiwanese brand (Asus) phone to connect to it...So, a coffee ☕ shop that is literally out of chocolate, meaning I can't order my usual mocha, and must settle for a flat white. The pastrami brisket focaccia saved the experience from total disaster. The coffee was very good, but folks, please get some chocolate 🍫 for next time. I'll be asking first if they have it before ordering, and will think twice before coming to a Taiwanese coffee shop whose WiFi literally won't connect a Taiwanese...
