Reeds Coffee & Bakery — Restaurant in Neihu District

a beautiful bakery! my love! when i first found this bakery, i came here four times a week for two weeks in a row! no lie, my cholesterol shot up! now, i can only go once every two weeks -- otherwise my health!

many things to rave about this cute, lovely store cakes -- delicious their cakes are all decadent without being overwhelmingly so. their sponge cakes are light and airy, their fruits are always super sweet~. tiramisu is the BOMB. it's my favorite tiramisu here in taiwan so far. the cheese/cream is so smooth and rich. they give you a sweet portion size too! mille crepe cakes. haven't eaten much of these overall to have a good comparison, but I sometimes get this fi I want something plain, but texturely heavenly. fruit tarts: fresh fruit, with a stronk base. whipped cream is light n airy! chocolate cake: the cake is light and airy without losing the decadent chocolate taste. you won't feel like you have a stone in your stomach after eating. cinnamon roll: this cinnamon roll focuses more on it's filling (apple, I think?) and cinnamon than it's frosting. personally, I wish they put more frosting. but, i think they do the best cinnamon rolls here. the bread is fluffy and cinnamony

ambience: clean, chic, and with their new plant wall to liven up the space! lots of natural lighting. big round of applause to the designer(s). you'll definitely feel like a cool kid when working/eating/socializing here!

service: bueno bueno! shoutout to all the employees who are so attentive and considerate and nice! woohoo!

drinks: decent lattes and coffee, and some other non caffeinated beverages. you can adjust sweetness and caffeine levels (1/2 shot of espresso)

sandwiches: they don't have these written on the menu so you usually have to ask about them. honestly I'm not a huge fan of sandwiches but they do it really well. reeds excels with the quality ingredients! they usually take around 7-8 minutes because they melt the cheese for you. great quality cheese.

the baked goods here (cakes and sandwiches in particular) are seriously, a danger to your health! (in a good way, i'm being dramatic but...

Newly opened, nice atmosphere, very friendly owners and staff~ counter staff guys so good looking and chill ;) The kind of place you can stay for at a while and relax/work! Personal menu favorites are the croissant ham and cheese sandwich with house made almond butter (!!!!! So good!! Which you can also purchase from them in packaged glass jars!) and their vegetable sandwich with housemade cashew butter (both 90ntd!). Vanilla latte (140) uses real vanilla pod syrup and is solid! Lemon tart super tart flavored, not too sweet and delicious The rose and cheese cream bread is yummy, and the green onion bread has a super fresh strong garlic flavor. Seems like more products will be developed excited to keep coming back and try new things:D

Now with expanded drinks menu~ fresh cream and fruit cake also refreshingly...

Edit: I’ve updated this to a five-star review after a positive recent experience. Hopefully this is a good sign for the future.

✅ Great coffee and a lovely working atmosphere. I will come back here, but I will now be sure to state my cup preferences with my order because… ❌Staff are inconsistent about the tableware used. The first two times I went, I was automatically given ceramic mugs/glasses as a dine-in customer, and so were all of the other guests. However, on another occasion, I was given a single-use paper and plastic cup. I choose to dine in precisely because I do not wish to use disposable cups. Please ensure staff are trained (at least) to ask customers about their preferences and/or (preferably) default to reusable cups for...
