Or strategize and figure out where these guys don’t go…
I’d share with you my secrets, but then they would no longer be secret. : D

the independent places are much less crowded. but i ain’t paying 150 -200 ntd for a drink.
You’re right, you rather pay a big chain 170 NT$, instead of supporting independent shops.
where did 170nt come from? i spend $40NT to get a tea without sugar. i don’t go to starbucks.
you can get a basic tea for less than 50NT in all of the drink shops, but in those independent cafes theres bugger all on the menu for less than 150nt. no thanks.
From a big chain tea shop?
I’d take my own tea then for 4 NT$ a bag, put it in a thermos and go sit in 7-11 all day!
Maybe can reuse Starbucks paper cups, fill with tap water from the sink, and spend nothing.
Or like many really do, bring own thermos bottle.
louisa coffee. as i said, thats around the price of basic tea in every drinks shop, which you can find on every street in taiwan, but yea your joke is pretty funny i guess. hardly anyone drinks tea in taiwan! just take a tea bag HAHAHAha! funny man.
I’ve spent up to six weeks recently in Europe. Been to around 10 different Starbucks stores.
I always order the same thing Americano black coffee. Tastes nice. Then Taiwan whenever I order the same thing it tastes bitter and terrible. I don’t know if because of lower quality coffee by Starbucks Taiwan or they just don’t know how to make it.
I still remember the time when tea was still tea in Taiwan, now it’s milk with some tea liquid.
There’s still tea!

I know, there is good tea around, but not in one of the zillion ‘tea shop’ chains!

Louisa is not bad … except their sandwiches, which taste like feet.

How does one actually know what feet taste like? Ew.
Anything at Starbucks even remotely worth eating? I remember years back their muffins were decent, but gone now.

Absolutely not.
Their menu is odd. Corn and cucumber toasted sandwiches, chocolate brownies with raisins in them. Weird stuff like that. I ordered a beef toasted sandwich once and it was indeed a toasted sandwich…with a burger inside. Don’t think I’ve ordered any food there Since, that was the last straw.
Now have reusable cups that look like the traditional cup.
Buy one for $75 and then $10 discount for drinks.

This may be the most photographed, non-photogenic, spot in Chiayi County with constant stream of people outside doing selfies and group pictures.
Starbucks in small village Minxiong near Chiayi is a new separate building but nothing special besides a drive-thru and a big parking in back. Starbucks Chiayi Minxiong, No. 235, Section 1, Jianguo Road, Minxiong Township, Chiayi County, https://goo.gl/maps/gTWqUxLmdwh78V3A7
The lemon tarts are okay.
Taichung has very good tea chains.
