10 out of 10
Food like from home!
Their carrot cake is perfect. Not too sweet or loaded with frosting. It is just right and only 95NT for a generous slice.
Apple Pie with the French top. I swear it is exactly how my mom makes it.
Honest to goodness real chocolate cake. Not the fluffy, airy Taiwanese version of cake. This is dense and heavenly.
Prices are all under 100NT and the service is very friendly. They speak fluent English too.
Wish I could. I travel by car or scooter. The Sanxia line of the MRT is still under construction, so no go there. Taxi from Dingpu Station would be about a 10 min ride.
Best thing I can offer is the address. Just plop it into Google maps.

FYI most of their baked goods are fully available after 3pm because they bake everything fresh in the morning each day.
I made the scooter ride in the rain and am here right now. I ordered a BBQ chicken pizza, and asked them to save me a slice of carrot cake for afterwards.
I’ll report back after I eat…
The pizza was good, but a bit sweeter than I expected because it had pineapple. That’s my fault for not looking at the topping list carefully. I still liked it, though, because I like pineapple on my pizza, but others may not.
But what I really came for was the carrot cake, and it didn’t disappoint. Moist and dense, with a cream cheese frosting that had a nice balance of tang and citrus.
The vibe of the place is chill with about 6 small tables inside and a little outdoor seating as well. The workers were friendly and spoke great English. Thumbs up from me.
I am going back today to try their pizza and chocolate cake. Will call ahead to see if they have the cake today. Plan on going in around 5:30. I think they are closed 2 days a week, not sure which days though.
, Oh well. Just have to wait until Wednesday then.
