(Flowers Taiwan) R9 Café

Nice coffee shop, average food and beverages, good service and nice sweets.

Food is ok, large portion, very cool air condition

Uhm.... 0 star if possible, Same food as cheap breakfast shop, service quality is same as breakfast. Lots of minimum order rules bulabila.

Not so friendly waiters and a record price of 178 NTD for an Americano. Hard to beat! The price, that is.

This coffee shop is located to MRT ZhongShan station(G14R11), exit R7. Reservation is acceptable. Serving all kinds of soft beverages and light meals, it is a good place to enjoy your afternoon with your friends here. The famous coffee from Austria, Julius Meinl, is served here. The sandwich is really satisfying; it is not only delicious but also a genuine bargain!

Great space… delicious dessert

Ambiance was okay. Food and beverages were very boring and forgetful. The spicy pork neck pasta was a disaster. It was too spicy even for my friends who love spicy food, and yet no reminder was given when we ordered. The waitress who served us didn’t tell us what those dishes were nor did she wait until we noticed her before she put down the dish so at one point she knocked my hand slightly without apologizing. My precious holiday lunch with friends was ruined and it affected half of my day’s mood. Will not come again.

TLDR:Cute cafe, strong AC (which I needed lmao), nice place to work/meet with friends. There is a 10% service fee, staff don’t come to you a lot, which I really liked. But some may see that as bad service (you’re wrong) This is my second time here, sitting upstairs for the first time. I tried looking for cafes around here but ended up here again after I long journey. I think this will probably be my go-to now. After walking around for like an hour the AC hits so good ? I’m here for looking for the place to work, since it’s been raining a lot in Taipei. And I think this place is perfect. They have signs saying that dining limit is 90min if the place is packed, but they didn’t kick me out after staying for 3 hours, so I thought that was great. Food wise the pizza was aight, tbh would come here for food, and I wasn’t that hungry so I just took it home. Dessert was yummy, but the tiramisu and the lemon pie I got, only wish the slices were bigger. Staff ordered my food and stood politely by the counter, and would respond when you ask, otherwise they don’t come around a lot. I think that’s perfect for the cafe so I don’t need to interact with people when it’s not needed ?
