♢ Grassroots Brunch TOUCH WOOD ♢
Location: Located near the Taipei Power Building MRT Station, in an alley on Wenzhou Street, about a six-minute walk away.
Dining Environment: Clean and bright, with a comfortable decor style, but the seating is a bit small.
Ordering Method: Order online by scanning a QR code.

• French Herb Chicken Breast Brunch (includes drink - iced tea) $300
  The potatoes were quite good, and the chicken breast wasn't dry; it's decent but a bit pricey.

• Loaded Cheese Handmade Thick Omelette $95
  As the name suggests, it has a lot of cheese, and by the last few bites, it can become a bit overwhelming, but the first few bites are very enjoyable.

• Dessert Drink Combo $150

Banana Milk (+$60)
Just banana milk.

Apple Peach Cheesecake (+$20)
Not as delicious as expected, it feels like cheesecake with some fruit chunks, and the flavors didn't blend well together.

• Coffee Cola $120
  The sour and bitter taste of the coffee is quite apparent; I might not love it since I usually don't drink black coffee.

• Fried Ice Cream $29
  An add-on option, pretty tasty.

It has a vibe between a brunch spot and a café; overall, it’s neither outstanding nor disappointing. If you're simply looking for breakfast, it feels a bit pricey, but since the seating is limited and not suitable for long stays, it's a good place to meet up with friends for a chat; the food is quite good.

Mother's Grilled Meat Egg Pancake $120

• The egg pancake tastes quite similar to a scallion pancake, but it has a crispy texture. The grilled meat is laid on top of the egg pancake, and the overall flavor is a bit salty. I quite like the pancake itself!

Truffle Mushroom Egg Burger $170+ (B Chicken Nuggets Set $100)

• The set is originally $100, and for an additional $70, you can swap the drink for a smoothie. The burger itself has a strong mayonnaise flavor, and the truffle taste is not very pronounced, so if you love truffles, you might want to pass on this.
• The smoothie has visible fruit chunks, and the guava-pineapple combination is not too sweet or heavy; it's quite refreshing.

Peanut Latte $176

• My friend ordered this, and it doesn’t have much peanut flavor. I only realized it was a peanut latte when I saw the bill, and it didn't leave a strong impression, so I might skip this next time.

🧸 The tables are very close together, so it can be quite awkward if someone is coming in or out next to you.

🥜 Grassroots Brunch TOUCH WOOD | Hipster Egg Pancakes in the Alley
📍 No. 3, Lane 5, Wenzhou St., Da'an District, Taipei City 106
🕘 09:00–16:00 | Online reservations available

🥚 This brunch spot hidden in the alleys of Wenzhou Street has a bit of a hipster vibe and can get a bit hot. On weekdays, there aren't many visitors in the morning, so no need to queue up👌 Ordering via QR code and multiple payment methods is smooth, but the table spacing is a bit tight, not ideal for long conversations.

🌯 Mom's BBQ Pork Egg Pancake The egg pancake itself is akin to scallion pancakes, thick and chewy. The BBQ pork is laid on top of the egg pancake rather than wrapped inside, and the seasoning is a bit strong and salty, suitable for those with a robust palate. Overall, it has its memorable points but is not astonishing.

🍔 Truffle Mushroom Egg Burger The set comes with a smoothie. The egg burger has a strong mayonnaise flavor, while the truffle taste is somewhat overshadowed, making it not very distinctive in the truffle category. The smoothie has noticeable fruit fiber, and the guava and pineapple combination is not too sweet or cloying, considered refreshing but not special.

☕️ The Peanut Latte is somewhat ordinary; while it has a peanut flavor, it’s not strong enough, tasting more like diluted peanut milk, leaving no deep impression.

💸 The total price, including service charge, is $704, with a minimum consumption of one drink. After trying it, I feel it's somewhat expensive. It's a brunch place with ideas, good for taking photos and posting on social media, okay for an occasional visit, but I wouldn’t want to return.

【Da'an, Taipei】Grassroots Brunch TOUCH WOOD

Let's get to the conclusion first: The food is delicious and fresh, and the staff service is good. However, the seating arrangement is poor, as the tables are very close together.

Also, the seating by the door feels like an afterthought 😀
The door doesn’t close properly, so when someone outside is smoking, the smoke comes in.
Hot air keeps flowing inside, but the fan at the back doesn’t provide much relief.
Some tables and chairs have mismatched heights (especially in the area by the door), making it uncomfortable for tall people to eat; you have to bend down low.
