The dishes are rich and creative, with the roasted grapefruit and cinnamon thick pancakes being particularly popular. The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. The cinnamon sugar snail rolls and the black truffle golden crispy potatoes are somewhat sweet or not rich enough, making them suitable for sharing among many people.
The restaurant is very popular, the environment is lively and somewhat noisy, but there is no restriction on dining time, making it suitable for a leisurely enjoyment. Those who prefer quietness should consider this.
The service efficiency is high, and you need to take a number on-site. There are many people on holidays and you may have to wait, so it is recommended to make arrangements in advance. Some seats have time limits, so please pay attention.
At the entrance, there is a tablet where you can get a number. If your number is called, you need to return to the line, but I still saw a group of four that had missed their number, and the staff arranged for them to enter.
🔹 Cinnamon Sugar Snail Roll $108
🔸 Black Truffle Golden Crispy Potatoes $138
🔹 Onion Beef Salad (Caesar Dressing) $298
🔸 Cinnamon Thick Pancake $248
❗️ Served only after 2:00 PM, and the meal is made fresh to order, taking about half an hour—actually waited over half an hour. I saw many recommendations on Instagram but later found out about the serving times. It’s worth trying, but not a must-order.
🔹 Breakfast Basket "Picnic" $288
🔸 Reader's Joy (Picnic Basket +$108) Regular Price $158
🔅 Cutlery is self-service, and plates should be returned for recycling after dining.
🔅 It’s really crowded and noisy; those who prefer quiet will need to think it over.
🔅 Some seats are only available until 4:30 PM, but the staff doesn’t mention this at the entrance; they only ask once you’re seated.
This place, Coppii Lumii Living Coffee, is quite popular at the Changzhong branch. It's not an exaggeration to say it's crowded and noisy, but the food is decent, which explains the good business.
This time, I ordered the "Picnic Basket" Big Breakfast for $288 (including a drink), and I came specifically for the grilled sweet grapefruit. It was really delicious—sweet, sour, and a bit charred, and I wanted to order a whole one after finishing it. The yogurt served is the tangy kind, so if you're sensitive to sour flavors, I recommend choosing a different combination.
In terms of value for money, this is much more worthwhile than the Small Breakfast at Morning Joy. The prices are roughly the same, but the portion here is double, making it great for when you're really hungry. You can also upgrade your drink; I chose the "Happy Reader" for an extra $108. The juice was tasty, and the carrot flavor wasn't too strong.
The pancakes are a highlight; we ordered the Cinnamon Thick Pancake (not a cinnamon roll). The outer layer is coated with sugar, and the texture is solid. Once you drizzle on the rich cinnamon sauce, the aroma is abundant—it's quite sweet but not overwhelming; ant lovers will enjoy it.
The Cinnamon Sugar Snail Roll for $108 is a dessert and one of their signatures. It's fragrant with cinnamon, pairs perfectly with cream, but it’s really sweet, so I recommend sharing it among several people.
The Onion Beef Salad (Caesar dressing) for $298 has a generous portion, though the beef was just average. The Black Truffle Golden Crispy Potatoes for $138 are crispy when fried, but the truffle flavor is a bit weak, leaving something to be desired.
Overall, this place offers a sincere brunch that is quite good for Taipei, with reasonable prices and substantial portions. The fact that there's no time limit in the environment is a big plus. However, it can get very crowded on weekends, so I suggest sending someone to take a number and then strolling around nearby. They call out numbers in batches based on the number of people. The turnover rate is fairly quick, but during peak meal times, you might still have to wait about half an hour.
The restaurant in the city does not accept reservations. You need to take a number on-site, and the staff will lead you to your table. Ordering is done at a self-service counter, and you return your trays yourself. There is no time limit for dining, but due to the continuous influx of customers on weekends, be prepared to wait.
The food is quite good. The breakfast platter allows you to choose your favorite items, and the portions are generous, with well-prepared dishes. The salty pork pasta has a strong flavor but is not greasy—it's very appetizing.
Desserts are served after 2 PM. I personally found the thick pancakes to be average; maybe I just chose the wrong flavor. The lemon syrup with the pancakes had a bit of a bitter taste, but my friend really liked it.
The iced lemon Sicilian is excellent! The sweetness is just right, with the aroma of lemon and the sweetness of the syrup, but it does not overpower the coffee. The seasoning is very well balanced and impressive.
Overall, I would recommend it 👍 and will visit again.
