The first floor sells succulents, cultural and creative goods, and lifestyle items, while the second floor offers light meals such as brunch and coffee. It's a stylish café that combines quality, taste, and design with a strong Japanese vibe. Additionally, extending the concept of "home," the moment you step inside, you’re enveloped in a warm and cozy atmosphere.

▲ "Queen’s Breakfast," priced at NT$340, includes homemade teriyaki pork slices, French toast, cheese scones, and black sugar nut yogurt. The standout item is undoubtedly the fluffy Cloud QQ Eggs.

The adorable Cloud QQ Eggs are made by whipping egg whites before baking them in the oven. They feature a runny golden yolk in the center, giving the impression of a fluffy marshmallow. A touch of salt sprinkled on the outside gives them a mildly savory flavor.

The cheese scones use Mexican tortilla wraps with melted cheese inside, offering a crispy texture and savory cheesy aroma. The homemade French toast is wonderfully soft and chewy. The rich-flavored black sugar nut yogurt is not overly sweet and is also highly favored by customers.

▲ "Super Berry Pancakes," priced at NT$230. Aside from savory dishes, URBAN SELECT’s pancakes are also a must-try dessert. Paired with tangy berries and a refreshing custard, they are incredibly delicious.. (Photo provided by an IG user. Please do not repost without permission.) frances__chi Provided.
