Plants
Info added on March 10, 2022.
A stalwart of Taipei’s plant-based community, Plants Eatery could not be more different from the venues detailed above. You’ll find no fake meats here, no attempt to cajole meat-eaters into passing up the pork, only fresh ingredients thoughtfully prepared. Read more…
Macu (麻古茶坊)
Info added on March 27, 2020.
This cute takeout shop with a red signboard is conveniently located just steps away from MRT Daan Station. There are no seats, so customers simply grab and go. The logo has a little sprout shooting out from the letter “c” in “Macu,” and as this suggests, the drinks are incredibly fresh. The draw here is the fruit tea concoctions, with many seasonal flavors and all made with berries and citrus fruits sourced from around Taiwan, with generous amounts of blended fruit mixed with tea rather than diluted with water.
During winter, strawberry green tea jelly is served in a mountain of a cupful. At the bottom are scoopfuls of exquisite green tea jelly, the large middle part is entirely crushed strawberry and at the top is a nice dollop of cream cheese. There’s no need to mix, as you’ll be able to taste all the different parts in a single sip, and the resulting flavor is like having strawberry cheesecake in liquid form, mellowed with green tea jelly that dissolves in the mouth.
Another seasonal special is the orange and granadilla green tea and a few thirst-quenching classics include a grapefruit green tea. For something inventive, go for the longan red date tea latte.
