A brunch in downtown Taipei with exceptional value for money – definitely worth a visit!

Having tried so many brunch spots in downtown Taipei, "Grassroots Brunch" is definitely one of the best value brunch options in the city. Perhaps because it's near a university (National Taiwan University, Taiwan's top university), the prices are very affordable. Specializing in brunch, each brunch item comes with a drink, plus a 10% service charge, and you can definitely eat your fill for under TWD 350.

Features:

1. The standard brunch fries can be replaced with Taiwanese-style fried glutinous rice balls.

2. In addition to the standard coffee or black tea, you can also change your drink to a cocktail. I especially recommend the "Lychee Oolong Tea Cocktail," with its subtle lychee and oolong tea aroma, giving you a blissful, slightly tipsy feeling in the morning.

3. After finishing your tea cocktail, you can get a free refill of black tea to recharge before heading out.

4. The classic brunch platter I ordered this time wasn't amazing, but considering the price (TWD 297 for the set shown in the photo) and its location in downtown Taipei, it's a great deal. You absolutely must try the tea and wine!

🚇 Transportation: Take the MRT to Taipower Building Station, about a 6-minute walk.

🚶➡️ Nearby attractions: Gongguan shopping district, National Taiwan University campus.
