Quality of food: 6/10
Overall: 7/10
In a quiet alley off Roosevelt Road, you can find this place. We came here for breakfast, but you can quite easily come here for brunch/lunch, too.
It was the week before Christmas, and all through the house...
There were lots of flags, fortunately not a mouse.
Free WiFi is something that can be a blessing, and a curse. You're eating, so is there really a need to continue playing the Ninja fighting game you've been struggling on for the last 5 hours? You still really want to watch your favourite TV show whilst eating? Do it at home. This is a cafe/restaurant. For me, it should be about taking in the atmosphere and enjoying a nice meal.
But thanks for the free WiFi - I could check out the directions before we went to 陽明山 to eat the 烤地瓜.
The menu has a variety of sandwiches and some breakfasts, too.
What we ordered:
1. 美式組合 mei3shi4zu3he2 American style breakfast

2. 燻鮭魚乳酪 xūn guī yú rǔ lào Smoked salmon with cream cheese $150

Buttered toast, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, hash browns and salad.
A little squiggle of mustard and ketchup on the side, too.
Everything was actually pretty decent. Even the scrambled eggs get my stamp of approval! The juice was a little sour and fairly non-descript, but the rest of the aspects were fine.
The Americano was decent, too.

Smoked salmon and cream cheese is by far my favourite bagel choice, so I am no stranger to the combination. Here, it's on a sandwich with some tomato, cucumber and salmon. There is a small spread of a mustard mayonnaise, too.
The bread was just OK, it didn't taste very fresh but it did the job that bread does. The smoked salmon was nice (but I find it hard to imagine that Illy would have actually smoked it themselves).
Overall, both breakfasts were fairly standard of many breakfast cafe's. I wouldn't race to go back but similarly I also wouldn't say no to going back, either.
Best dish: 1. 美式組合 mei3shi4zu3he2 American style breakfast
w/ Hot coffee 熱美式咖啡 rè měi shì kā fēi - This dish was the better of the two, with nice scrambled eggs and also a nice sausage.
Dish I wouldn't order again: 2. 燻鮭魚乳酪 xūn guī yú rǔ lào Smoked salmon with cream cheese - I want my bread to be a little better quality and I want a thicker spread than what was provided, really.
Opening times:
Monday - Sunday 08:00 - 17:00
