星巴克典藏™ DREAM PLAZA台北

To bring foreign vendors to experience Taiwan's largest Starbucks, one must first make a reservation on the website to draw a number. Also, one Line account or email can only bring four people. Keep an eye on the current number; if your number is called and you miss it, you will have to draw again. On that day, which was a Monday, they stopped drawing numbers at 6:40 PM, so remember to draw early if you want to go.

If you ask me why I would like to come again, I would recommend the outdoor dining area on the rooftop, where there are chairs to sit and enjoy drinks while appreciating the night view of Taipei 101. There is a breeze, so it won't be too hot, but the only downside is that it can be a bit noisy because of the water tower. Additionally, it can be hard to find a seat during peak hours.

If you don’t know how to get to the outdoor area, you can ask the staff. You need to go up the stairs, which are a bit high. Remember to get your stamp in the stairwell so you can enter again when you come back.

If you want to enjoy air conditioning, there is also an indoor area. However, the comfortable sofa area is usually occupied. The number you received upon reservation will indicate the time you are allowed to enter. There are staff at the entrance checking the number tags, and once inside, you find your own seat.

Ordering drinks and food is divided into different areas. If you want to drink alcoholic coffee, you need to order it at the bar. The area for ordering other desserts and non-alcoholic coffee is separate.

Foreigners recommend the classic coffee martini, which has a mild alcohol taste but a stronger coffee flavor, possibly due to the espresso. After all, this café primarily focuses on coffee and it tastes quite good. The glass used for the coffee martini is beautiful, but it’s a bit inconvenient to carry it to a farther seat, as there’s a risk of spilling.

My colleagues also ordered desserts, but since I was chatting with the foreigners, I didn’t know the prices. They mentioned that they were co-branded with Jiang Zhencheng, and even the foreigners found them delicious.

Inside, there are shops, and many people are shopping. My colleagues said there are some special Starbucks mugs, but the prices are on the higher side, even for coffee beans.
