Modern Mode Cafe has a retro-inspired decor, but the actual layout, seating arrangement, and clutter fall short of what’s shown on Instagram. The vintage decorations are abundant, but instead of adding charm, they make the space feel messy and unorganized. Service was average—our tiramisu order was forgotten and only brought after a reminder. The tiramisu itself was decent, not overly sweet or altered in the "Taiwan-style" way, and I'd give it a 7/10, though the portion was quite small. The coffee was mild and lacked depth, earning about a 6/10. One strong positive was the air conditioning—cool and refreshing, which is a huge plus during Taipei’s hot summer.

Quiet place, nice decors but some right next to the door and hanged horses, seem bewildering to me. The outdoor...
Read moreCame here last November and ordered a tea and a set of MM公雞太太. Tea came quickly but the main meal only came after one hour of waiting. Enquired on the long waiting time when I was the only customer in sight and the server explained that the bread needs to be toasted. Tea was nice but main dish that ultimately came was disappointing. Lukewarm toast with a ham and cheese, garnished with lettuce and a little bit of nuts. Nothing special/spectular in my opinion. Marmalade and yogurt were fine. It would be nice if the server has taken intiative to inform that the main dish will take a while beforehand or during the wait, and not sure if it is basic courtesy to at least say a simple "sorry for the long wait" when the...
