Gabee Coffee — Restaurant in Songshan District

It’s such awesome surprise of experiencing a coffee shop spent so much energy to perfect their offerings. I can go so much deeper about their coffee but I wouldn’t. I can only tell you whatever your decision is about your choice of coffee here is 10 times better than your Starbucks. However, I have to point out a very negative thing about their sandwiches. They pride themselves with their focaccia Italian sandwiches. However, their choice of cheese is a bright yellow American rubbery cheese that totally ruin the whole prestige, stainless steel clean and sharp modern million dollars store presentation. Other than that it is a five stars Café shop. I enjoy the whole experience and thank for the owner’s dedication and vision about the place. The owner can google “10 Cheeses Serve with Focaccia”.

It was worth doing it once whilst in Taipei. But only once. CASH ONLY. My first opinion was positive. The no pets, no food, no poker, no smoking and no photographer symbols great you on arrival.

This place is touristy and expensive. They do not offer to go options for your drinks as they're meant to be drunk a certain way.

They do give you a discount at the standing counter though which is nice, and staff are very polite, but the drinks aren't THAT good and it's not that different from a coffee shop in the San Francisco Bay Area where I'm from.

Is it worth it? Meh not really...
