Green River Roastery — Restaurant in New Taipei

My friends and I decided to visit this cafe after seeing a lot of nice photos on social media. However, when we arrived, it wasn’t quite as expected. While the cafe has a nice wooden, minimalistic vibe, the overall experience fell short. The cafe has two steep staircases, making it unsuitable for kids and the elderly. Even I had to be extremely careful not to fall. Additionally, although there are seats on the first floor, we couldn’t enter from that door. Instead, we had to walk upstairs and then take another staircase down, which didn’t make much sense. It also seemed like they were short-staffed, so we waited about 30 minutes for our order. However, the drinks and the hojicha no-bake cheesecake were superb. I haven’t had such a great cheesecake in quite some time.

Really enjoyed coming here after enjoying the scenery at Bitan. Located in a converted old building the interior is a cut above, expecially upstairs with the tall ceiling and wide windows. The coffee itself was great, a relatively strong blend that stands above what you might typically find. The ladies running seemed nice and I didn't have to wait long until my coffee was ready. The only thing that might inconvenience others is the fact you have to take at least one flight of stairs and potentially two, both of which being relatively steep. If you don't mind that though it's definitely worth...
