It seems like everywhere you turn, you find yet another drink store. Staring at the menu can be daunting since the items general number over a hundred! A few of the larger chains have menus in English. Try a pearl milk tea (珍珠奶茶 - Zhēnzhū nǎichá) to sample a local treat. If you'd like something lighter, try a green tea infused with fruit. Most drink stores will allow you to customize the amount of ice as well as the sugar level so you can have it "as you like"! Coffee shops are also ubiquitous. Please, whatever you do, skip Starbucks and try a local spot.

Coffee: Stand Up
Location: 台北市延吉街131巷33號
Tips: Delicious espresso drinks and single origin, drip coffee. I think their shortbread cookies are a bit dry. They are filled with dried fruit and nuts and so I wish they were more like an oatmeal cookie. It's also very convenient from the apartment.

CoCo
Location: No.26, Sec. 1, Da’an Rd., Da’an Dist., Taipei City 106
Tips: Our favorite drinks at CoCo are Grass Jelly Honey (仙草蜜), Lemon Splash (檸檬霸), Mango Slush (芒果冰沙) and our course, bubble milk tea! Some of these drinks are seasonal so check the menu. More than half of the CoCo locations have an English menu.
One of the most popular drinks in Taiwan during the summer is Bubble Milk Tea, or Zhun Zhu Nai Cha.. Bubble Milk Tea is a drink made of red tea and condensed milk with tapioca pearls mixed in. Bubble Milk Tea is good to drink any time you are feeling hot or just need a cool drink. Be warned, it has lots of caffeine and is very filling. Usually I try to drink my Bubble Milk Tea before 3 so that I can still go to bed. In my opinion, Taiwan has some of the best Bubble Milk Tea in the world! Some of the stores that have the best bubble milk tea are CoCo’s and 50 Lan. Don’t take my word for it though! Both CoCo’s and 50 Lan have excellent tapioca pearls but 50 Lan has a tastier milk tea. The CoCo’s tea tastes a little more watered down. On the other hand, CoCo’s Bubble Milk Tea is only 30 NT, $1 USD, whereas 50 Lan’s is 45 NT or $1.50. When ordering Bubble Milk Tea, you will be given an option of less sugar, medium sugar, or full sugar as well less, medium, or lots of ice. You can also ask for more tapioca pearls but they will charge extra. Also, the tapioca pearls can usually be exchanged for something else such as grass jelly or small tapioca pearls. I hope you enjoy their Bubble Milk Tea as much as I do!

Cama Cafe
Location: 台北市大安區延吉街153之4號
Tips: You can smell the Cama Cafe before you arrive. Their claim to fame is the in-store roasting of their beans. I've never actually had a cup of coffee there , but it sure smells good!

Dante Coffee
