Taipei treats brunch as a destination, not an afterthought. The city built a serious Western-brunch and all-day-breakfast culture over the last decade, layered on top of a coffee scene that produced a World Barista Champion, and topped with hotel weekend buffets that run to the thousands of New Taiwan dollars. The honest split is by what you want the morning to do: a long Aussie cafe sit at Woolloomooloo, a coffee pilgrimage on the eighty-eighth floor of Taipei 101, or a seafood buffet at the Mandarin Oriental. For the city's dinner tables, see our Taipei dining guide.
1.Woolloomooloo
Taipei's long-running Aussie brunch institution in Xinyi, with serious coffee and craft beer; go for a leisurely weekend sit.
Woolloomooloo has been Taipei's reference point for Australian brunch for years, an all-day cafe, bistro and bar on Xinyi Road that pairs a serious specialty-coffee programme with a craft-beer list. The kitchen plates classic brunch on house-made sourdough alongside dishes like duck confit, and the flat white is the real thing. Mains run roughly NT$350 to 650. It opens at 7:30am on weekdays and runs late into the night Friday and Saturday, so it covers the full arc of a long morning. For an unhurried Aussie-style brunch across the Xinyi district, this is the table that started the conversation. Settle in and order a second coffee.
2.Simple Kaffa Sola
Berg Wu's world-champion coffee bar on the 88th floor of Taipei 101; book it for coffee, levain sandwiches and the view.
Simple Kaffa Sola sits on the eighty-eighth floor of Taipei 101, the sky-high room from Berg Wu, the 2016 World Barista Champion and the first Taiwanese to take the title; his Simple Kaffa was named the world's best coffee shop in 2019. The food is light brunch built around house levain, caprese and fennel-leaf sandwiches on ciabatta, a signature matcha cake, served against a panoramic city view. Expect roughly NT$250 to 600 for coffee and a plate, with a reservation needed for Taipei 101 access. It opens at 10am, so this is a late-brunch and coffee pilgrimage rather than an early breakfast. Book ahead and take a window seat.
Reserve at simplekaffa.com.
3.Fujin Tree 353 Cafe
The anchor cafe of Songshan's Fujin Street design district, with Simple Kaffa beans; go for brunch and a single-origin pour.
Fujin Tree 353 Cafe anchors the Fujin Street design district in Songshan, a hipster all-day room that has run for more than a decade with a coffee programme tied to Berg Wu's Simple Kaffa roastery. The kitchen plates Western brunch with Taiwanese-inflected touches and house desserts, and the pour-overs run single origins from Ethiopia, Kenya and Brazil. Mains sit around NT$300 to 550. It is a short walk from the Songshan Airport MRT, a quieter alternative to the Xinyi crowds, and the design-district setting makes the morning feel like an outing. Order a brunch plate and a single-origin and watch the street.
4.M One Cafe
A long-standing Da'an brunch favourite for eggs benedict and house hash browns; reserve on weekends and go for the sets.
M One Cafe has been a Da'an brunch fixture since the early 2010s, a Western all-day-breakfast room off Ren'ai Road that built its following on a tidy eggs benedict, poached eggs and ham over hollandaise on an English muffin, and its house hash browns. Brunch sets run roughly NT$380 to 600, and the all-day format means you can land mid-morning or mid-afternoon. It opens at 7am on weekdays, early for Taipei, and weekends fill, so a reservation helps. For a dependable, sit-down Western brunch in the Da'an district, this is the neighbourhood standard. Order the benedict and a coffee set.
5.ASW Tea House
A daytime tea-brunch in the 1917 A.S. Watson building on historic Dihua Street; go for Taiwanese teas with scones.
ASW Tea House occupies the second floor of the 1917 A.S. Watson building on Dihua Street in Datong, Taiwan's first Western-style pharmacy address and a landmark of the Dadaocheng heritage quarter. The format is a daytime tea-brunch: Taiwanese black and oolong teas poured properly and paired with Western pastries, scones and madeleines, before the room turns into the WOSOM tea bar at night. Tea-and-pastry sets run roughly NT$300 to 550. It is a slower, more atmospheric brunch than the cafes, set among the old shophouses. Take a window table over Dihua Street and order a pot of oolong with the scones.
6.Heritage Bakery & Cafe
The American bakery near Ximen with Taipei's most-cited cinnamon roll; go for the bun and a brunch plate.
Heritage Bakery and Cafe has run near Ximen since 2017, an American-founded bakery and brunch room on Hankou Street whose cinnamon roll is routinely called the best in Taipei. Beyond the bun, the kitchen plates American-style brunch, and the bakery case carries the rest of the morning; it is an easy walk from Ximen MRT. Bakery items and brunch plates run roughly NT$150 to 450, a gentler ticket than the hotel rooms. For a casual, bakery-led brunch with a genuine signature, this is the pick on the west side of town. Order the cinnamon roll first and a savoury plate after.
7.Cafe Un Deux Trois
The Mandarin Oriental's weekend seafood brunch buffet with cooked-to-order mains; book it for a five-star morning.
Cafe Un Deux Trois is the fifth-floor brunch room of the Mandarin Oriental Taipei on Dunhua North Road in Songshan, and its weekend seafood buffet is the grandest brunch in the city. The format pairs buffet stations, seafood, salad, hot food and dessert, with a cooked-to-order main course, the five-star hotel template done at the top of the market. The weekend buffet runs from around NT$2,000 a head. This is the room for a celebratory or business brunch where the spread and the service carry the morning. Reserve a Saturday or Sunday table and pace yourself across the stations.

Skip these for brunch
Closed, despite the name floating around
The Lobby of Simple Kaffa, the original basement cafe in the East District famous for its matcha Swiss roll, has closed and become a bean-retail point. Do not chase it for brunch; the live Simple Kaffa rooms are Sola at Taipei 101 and the Zhongxiao East Road flagship.
A roastery, not a brunch kitchen
Goodman Roaster is a fine Japanese-founded specialty roastery, but it is a coffee bar rather than a brunch room, with no all-day breakfast service and a late weekday opening. Come for the coffee; eat your brunch elsewhere.
How to brunch in Taipei
Taipei brunch rewards a plan. The cafes, Woolloomooloo, Fujin Tree 353, M One and Heritage, are largely walk-in, though weekends fill and a reservation at M One helps. The two rooms that require booking are the high-end pair: Simple Kaffa Sola needs a Taipei 101 reservation and opens only at 10am, and the Mandarin Oriental's weekend seafood buffet at Cafe Un Deux Trois should be reserved days out. Note that Fujin Tree 353 is in Songshan, not Da'an, and the buffet venue is Cafe Un Deux Trois, not the Brasserie buffet at a different hotel. For more of the city's tables across Da'an, Xinyi and Datong, see our Taipei dining guide and the RFK rankings index.
Frequently asked
What is the best brunch in Taipei?
For a long, classic Western brunch, Woolloomooloo in Xinyi leads, with serious coffee and house sourdough. For a coffee-led morning with a view, Simple Kaffa Sola on the 88th floor of Taipei 101 is unmatched, and for a grand spread the Mandarin Oriental's weekend seafood buffet at Cafe Un Deux Trois is the top of the market. Each is currently open and verified for 2026.
Which Taipei brunch needs a reservation?
Simple Kaffa Sola requires a Taipei 101 reservation and opens only at 10am, so plan it as a late brunch. The Mandarin Oriental's weekend seafood buffet at Cafe Un Deux Trois should be booked days ahead. The cafes, Woolloomooloo, Fujin Tree 353, M One and Heritage Bakery, are largely walk-in, though weekends fill and booking M One helps.
Where is the best brunch view in Taipei?
Simple Kaffa Sola on the 88th floor of Taipei 101 has the city's best brunch view, a panoramic skyline behind world-champion coffee from Berg Wu. For a street-level scene rather than a skyline, Fujin Tree 353 in the Songshan design district and ASW Tea House on heritage Dihua Street both put their surroundings to work. Reserve the Taipei 101 room for the view.
How much does brunch cost in Taipei?
Cafe brunch at Woolloomooloo, Fujin Tree 353 and M One runs roughly NT$300 to 650 for a main. Heritage Bakery is gentler at NT$150 to 450, and ASW Tea House sets run NT$300 to 550. The high end is the hotel buffet: the Mandarin Oriental's weekend seafood brunch at Cafe Un Deux Trois starts around NT$2,000 a head. Coffee and drinks add to the cafe tickets.
Where can I get all-day breakfast in Taipei?
M One Cafe in Da'an is the dedicated all-day-breakfast room, plating eggs benedict and hash browns from a 7am opening, with a reservation advised on weekends. Woolloomooloo in Xinyi also runs an all-day cafe format from 7:30am, and Fujin Tree 353 in Songshan serves brunch through the day. All three let you land late and still get a full plate.
