Overeasy Coffee

I heard that this is a popular brunch spot in Taipei's Eastern District, and their hand-brewed coffee is also very good. On weekends during the day, it's often fully booked, but you can call to inquire about available seats on the same day. That's how we managed to secure a table on the day of our visit. 😁

I found out through their official Instagram that it's run by Intro Kitchen! Intro Kitchen is also one of my favorite cafés, known for its modern brunch style (I've even written a review about them), so I'm very happy to have the chance to try Overeasy Coffee, which they have opened.

🧷 Environment: 5/5

This shop is actually not very big, with around 5-6 tables for four people, as well as bar seats. However, the four-person tables are quite spacious, so you don’t feel cramped, and the lighting is bright.

The semi-open kitchen allows you to see the chefs at work, but it doesn't make the whole space smell greasy. Personally, I feel it’s a very comfortable dining environment.

🧷 Service: 5/5

I noticed that the staff at Overeasy Coffee are all young and handsome guys, and they all have great personalities. When I inquired about the hand-brewed coffee menu at the counter, the charming staff took the time to introduce their signature beans.

Occasionally, there are discounts posted near the counter (for example, when we visited, there was a buy one get one free deal on American coffee). If you’re unsure about any promotions, you can also ask directly at the ordering counter.

😍 A nice touch was that when we were taking selfies outside the shop, trying to adjust the lighting, it seemed like the staff inside noticed and kindly turned on the outdoor lights for us. That was really thoughtful!

🧷 Food: 4.5/5

The food was also impressive! I personally highly recommend the "Berry-marinated Salmon and Avocado Toast." The salmon and avocado were beautifully laid out on square toast, making for a great photo op, and it tasted incredibly satisfying.

The bagel was also nice, but it was a bit too hard, topped with a lot of ingredients, making it difficult to slice with a knife. In the end, I could only stick a fork into each topping and eat them separately. 😂

I ordered the iced hand-brewed Costa Rican coffee, which I found quite delicious and smooth, with a subtle fruity aroma. I can’t remember the exact flavor, but it’s the kind of coffee I would definitely want to have again!
