Cafe Cafe or 樂子 in Chinese, is a small bar/restaurant/cafe. An excellent choice for brunch! It is highly recommended to make reservations before going. However, on weekends, instead of 2 hours, one is only allowed 1-hour and a half for the meal. So for those who are looking for a place to sit and relax, this is not it. 

When I went there, I tried the Mushroom Chicken Crepe (240NT). Unlike the Crepe that you find in ShiDa Night market, this is the French type of crepe, softer. However, I think that it was a little too thick and too soft. The chicken was a little bland, but after adding some salt, I found the taste to be great. I also really liked how their hash browns are home-made. 


I also had the opportunity to try the Greek Omelette (220NT), it was good, but not as good as i expected to be because i thought that it was going to melt the feta inside and have black olives with lots of tomatoes. Overall the taste was good, but i prefer the Crepe. 

The Eggs Benedict (230NT - 310NT)on the other hand, are in my opinion, better then NY Bagel's because of the sauce. It was much thicker, which is how the Hollandaise should be. 



At last I tried out a dessert crepe, the one with Banana, Pecans and a scoop of Vanilla Ice cream. I'd say that it makes a perfectly nice ending for a brunch, but the waffles at Coffee Alley definitely beats it!



The place also serves Sandwiches and Burgers, but for sandwiches, i would highly recommend Toasteria and for burges, Evans~
