This place is not too bad. It really is about the third floor and the view out over to the ocean. Very difficult to get a window seat and really can't see much out the windows anyway some people because of the trees stop stop. Their there were lots of people when I went on a Thursday at midday. I had a chicken leg curry sauce and rice with mushroom soup. It was very average and I paid 290 for that meal. Really overpriced. But then you are paying for the view from the third floor looking out over the sea take a few pictures and then have a cup of coffee and some cake I have some ice cream still very expensive. So it is all about the view from the third floor with everybody else up there taking pictures. I would not go back there again in a hurry....

It’s strange because I’ve ordered an americano with oat milk in OTHER Mr Brown cafes in Taipei. So, whoever is managing this castle branch needs to have a chat with their service staff and figure out how to be more FLEXIBLE with customer orders.
Other than that, it’s a nice location if a bit...
