Pluto Espressoria — Restaurant in Taichung

I’ve visited several times and had many of the sandwiches and coffee. It’s a place I come if I’m craving some good sourdough bread. But I recommend the grilled sandwich only. All the other open faced sandwiches are cold and lacks flavor. Even the bread just tastes bad when it’s not toasted on a skillet. It’s a nice little coffee shop, cozy atmosphere. The coffee is not bad but not particularly great. They roast their own beans but the taste isn’t that unique nor is the aroma.

I regularly visit this little joint because of the food and deserts. They are one of the few fairings to offer avocado. If you’re addicted the green-ambrosia then hit them up. Their B.L.A.T sandwich is a win, love that beast. The kitchen is open plan so you the workings of the kitchen in all its splendour. The staff are really nice and it has a nice atmosphere.

The coffee is acceptable. The espresso pull needs to be dialled in a little to really get that extraction spot on. I normally add an extra shot to get that punch I need on a Monday...
