Near Sogo Zhishan station. Carrot cake was moist with good amount of nuts and cream cheese, it was a small serving though but priced at 80nt which was the cheapest so far in my hunt for carrot cakes. Really satisfied my craving. I ordered decaf salted caramel latte, it was OK for a latte, but im not tasting the salted caramel flavor here.
This is a small cafe near zhishan mrt station. It’s often full with people waiting, which can be frustrating. Once inside it’s comfortable but a little cramped. They often leave the door and windows open and I’ve found it to be a little cold on occasion. Despite that the food and coffee is good I do like the sourdough sandwiches made with fresh bread. The meals appear to be served with small bowls for fresh yogurt, which is a nice touch. They make most of their own cakes and scones, and they do a good job of those. We tried the mushroom soup and that was ok for me. Coffee is good (but I don’t have a refined palette for coffee tasting ). The menu is quite varied but I haven’t tried much beyond sandwiches. I think they may also have some beer behind the counter but haven’t done that for breakfast in a long time.
Caffe’ Rue provides great meals and the interaction with the staffs is also nice even if they are busy for making meals. The restaurant is clean and has its own style. You can get a relaxed and joyful mood during the meal time.
