Heard a lot about this place as it just opened recently and there has been long queues especially over the weekends. I visited on a Monday morning when it just opened and there were only 2 people ordering coffee in front of me. I didn't know it was so famous and came from US until I visited and read about it. They do have a variety of croissants and 2 flavours of tiramisu to try. I was thinking of trying 2 croissants initially but ended up taking only 1 because if the size. It is so big it is literally the same size as the palm and fingers combined. 180 TWD might sound expensive but the size definitely justifies the price. They recommended me to try the almond and I must say it was a good recommendation I enjoyed it a lot. Of course it would be much better if the croissant was warm. The drink on the other hand, was a disappointment. Ordered a matcha latte the moment I got the drink I opened it and was disappointed to see how pale the drink was. It tasted a lot of milk and almost no matcha taste. For a drink the same price as a croissant I would have taken another croissant instead. Am not a coffee person so I can't comment about the coffee, but I understand they are famous for their coffee and the machines they use are pretty funky and sophisticated.

Read moreIf you can’t speak Mandarin that well, don’t bother trying. I ordered the Hoji Cream Caffe and was absolutely shocked when I was not able to close a lid on it. A puff of hojicha powder went everywhere, a chocolate syrup got on everything, and the lid wouldn’t close. When I asked the barista if there was another lid, she just stared ate saying no, you’re supposed to drink it like that. What’s the point of a drink to-go if I can’t put a lid on it? I started to try to wipe away the lip of the cup to attempt to close the lid. The barista I ordered from walked over and said I told you when you ordered. When I told him he didn’t, he said he did, he just said it really quickly and softly. Cool. I left the drink for them. Absolutely disappointed in the service. This is a high tourist traffic area. They could have spoke slower or louder. Not to mention, this is not a Taiwanese coffee chain; it’s Australian. Instead of offering to change a lid for me, not one, but two baristas just stared and judged me for not understanding Mandarin and getting hojicha powder and chocolate syrup all over my hands.
Maybe try it if you have time to sit there, but I rather walk...

🍒🍼🥐藍莓優格可頌 (Blueberry Yogurt Croissant)
If you love Croissant and Blueberry then this Croissant is for you. I found it fantastic 😋. It is fluffy, light, with good amount of yoghurt and blueberries stuffing🥰 You can feel the perfect combination of sweetness, sourness, saltiness, and a crisp bite with croissant flakes sticking on your lips 🤣😍🤩. I loved it and will definitely try again😊.
🥐提拉米蘇可頌 (Tiramisu Croissant)
Tiramisu Croissant just tasted as good as the cake tastes😃. I really liked the small chocolate dripper to put the syrup inside the croissant🤩. 🤣🤣 My friend and I was struggling to put in at the right time to make a video😛. It was delicious and the coco powder above it was adding a perfect taste to it☺.
