Any good brunch spots, preferably western style in Taipei?
A bit of a trek, but if you haven’t been:

Villa Herbs is special for brunch. Beautiful small specialty dishes, homemade juices, nice atmosphere. Wines and champagne available.

Weston Hotel lobby has a more upscale weekend brunch with piano and unlimited sparkling wine. Also, buffet available in basement.
Sugar Pea is quite popular for everyone especially ladies. Reservation necessary. https://www.google.com.tw/maps/place/Sugar+Pea+Cafe/@25.0332696,121.5549281,17z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x3442abcecfe07967:0xaabef627eb1b1c3a!8m2!3d25.0362079!4d121.5535008?hl=en&shorturl=1
And most upscale hotels have nice buffet.
Sadly, all-you-can-drink champagne brunches have not caught on in Taipei.

The Diner has been my go to place for brunch over the years, but if you’re tired of it, this is a good alternative: https://www.facebook.com/jiegengesandwich/
Near the old AIT.
Woolloomooloo is pretty decent for brunch, though a bit on the pricey side. Near Xinye Anhe.
edit: You’ll wanna make reservations or show up early, if it’s still as popular as it always used to be.
Alas, in the whole Xindian, I haven’t found a plentiful and delicious brunch, meaning I really miss Grandma Nitti’s.
I like Once Again Cafe near Tapinglin, the food is tasty. But lately I have been going all the way to Gramercy Cafe in Gongguan, near Taita’s Sport Center, because I can take Bobby. Problem is their portions are rather large.

I recommend SPROUT, in the Tienmu area. You can read about this spot and see pictures here:
Another good spot for brunch is JB’s Diner, also located in Tienmu:
