Afternoon Tea4 pplNT$600

Beck's House, famous for its handmade cakes and delicious hand-brewed coffee, has another location apart from the one near Nanjing Fuxing Station, tucked away in a lane on Zhongxiao East Road in the East District. This time, I happened to choose a sunny holiday afternoon to enjoy some coffee and cake with friends. During the afternoon, the place tends to be full, and there is a two-hour dining limit, so I recommend making a reservation in advance.

Environment 5/5
The interior decor is very comfortable, featuring a simple wooden aesthetic and some vintage elements, such as fans and chandeliers. Every corner is perfect for taking photos. Our seats happened to be right next to the floor-to-ceiling window, and the sunlight coming in was very pleasant. The shop also provides self-serve water and has WiFi available 🛜.

Service 4/5
The staff at the counter are very friendly and will help introduce the coffee offerings and cake flavors currently available.

When you visit Beck's House, you must try their cakes, and they often have limited-edition flavors to sample. This time, I had the "Jasmine Peach Chiffon," which I personally highly recommend.

The cake is very delicious! The sponge cake has a delicate aroma of jasmine tea, and the peaches in the middle are wonderfully sweet. The tea-scented cream on top is not overly sweet and heavy; overall, it feels refreshing and delightful ☺️.

Jasmine Peach Chiffon A very delicious cake! The sponge cake part has a light jasmine tea fragrance, and the peach filling in the middle is quite fragrant and sweet. The tea-flavored cream on the outside isn't overly sweet, making it refreshing and a delightful experience overall.

Sicilian American | Dine-in $180 | Takeout $140 This Sicilian coffee isn’t very bitter; it tastes sweet and slightly sour, much like a beverage. Those who aren’t fond of bitterness can give this refreshing and delicious coffee drink a try.

𖥕 Little White｜Dining in $140｜Takeout $90

Colombian Montalban passion fruit | Dine-in $200 | Takeaway $160

A corner beside the counter inside the store I really like the in-store environment of the Zhongxiao store, with its vintage chandeliers and speakers. The plain cement-colored walls retain the brush strokes, and even indoors, you can feel the ample sunlight streaming in. It's a very comfortable space for afternoon tea.

Matcha Pound Cake $110 Sold in the quantity made on the day, you can choose the pastries you want to eat, perfect to enjoy with coffee.

There are cakes available, and there are also some small breads to choose from. The rosemary cheese bread looks really delicious.

The cakes at the counter can be ordered by the slice for dining in, or you can order a whole cake.

The translation of "櫃台" to English is "counter" or "reception desk."

Beck's home-made 11th anniversary formula beans $360 If you're interested, you can give it a try.

On the side cabinet, various hand-brewed coffee beans are displayed. You can smell the aroma of the coffee beans through the air holes on the back of the packaging, making it perfect to choose their beans to take home and brew for yourself after enjoying your favorite single-origin coffee in the shop.
