Drink coffee with Luffy and Chopper at this One Piece-themed café right next to the MRT station!

Text/Photos/Old K

This café was recommended by Mei-Ji to Old K. She had visited before and said it was filled with One Piece stuff. Although Old K isn’t a fan and only knows a little about the series, many people around him are huge fans, so he thought he’d check it out for everyone XD

Yet another low-key café^?! There’s even a blue seal stamp nearby

But actually, it’s quite convenient here — the café is located near the intersection of Jiaxing Street and Heping East Road, very close to the Jiaxiangli MRT Station. Just cross the street after waiting for the traffic light, and you’ll arrive in under five minutes.

We arrived a bit early that day, so we found a seat first and took our time to look around.

Let’s start with two glasses of water — even the cups are One Piece-themed!

There are also 3D murals on the walls, but unfortunately, they don’t show up well in photos XD

Even the coffee bean roaster is One Piece-themed!

It looks like everything here is related to One Piece. The owner must really love the series!

Collecting this many figurines is amazing — and these are just a part of them~ Old K has friends who love collecting figurines too. Knowing how much care and, of course, MONEY is needed to collect these, XD Some are even limited editions — aside from being hard to get, their prices are shocking too~ Good job, owner!

There are also tons of puzzles here. Puzzles aren’t really Old K’s thing, so this one’s best left to the pros XD

If you want to learn more about One Piece, there are manga here you can read~

Now, let’s get some coffee. This page shows the single-origin options — the ones with checkmarks on the right were available today, so the selection might be different each visit. We ordered one Kenyan and one Panamanian.

If you’re not into single-origin, there are also Italian-style coffees and lattes to choose from. That “random latte” at the end looks pretty unique XD

Not a coffee drinker? There are teas to choose from too, and of course, you have to get a dessert — Chopper’s pancake must be super cute. Too bad it’s only available on weekdays, so we went with their signature lemon tart.

Panamanian (NT$150)
There are also adorable Choppers on the table for photos. The coffee cups are super cute too, and they even give you a small extra cup~ So if two people both order single-origin coffee, you can try both flavors!

Kenyan (NT$150)
Here comes Old K’s coffee — let’s compare the two. The Kenyan has a richer taste, with a more noticeable acidity, while the Panamanian is smooth but doesn’t showcase as much aroma or flavor. Both Old K and Mei-Ji preferred the Kenyan.

Lemon Tart (NT$100)
The lemon tart really is their signature — the lemon flavor is strong, sweet and tangy. Both Old K and Mei-Ji prefer a bit of tartness, and we loved the balance. It’s smooth and goes perfectly with the crispy crust — delicious!

Is Chopper opening his mouth wide to take a bite? XD

There was a small moment during the meal — Mei-Ji asked Old K if he’d seen where the napkins were. When he asked the staff, we found out they were just behind Old K. Chopper’s belly is where they hide the napkins XD

Old K’s Tips:
One Piece fans definitely need to check this place out. Take a look at the owner’s amazing collection — even Old K, who isn’t a fan, was moved. Sit back, enjoy the surroundings, have a coffee, and finish it off with a lemon tart. Even better XD Old K is curious about Chopper’s pancake — if you’re just as curious, go try it and tell Old K what it’s like XD
