Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and enjoying a delicious one can make your whole day better. Especially a few years ago, when singer LYCRA’s song “Good Morning, Morning Beauty” became a hit—people were singing and humming its catchy tune on the streets, and before long, it seemed like everyone knew that having breakfast early could be pretty cool and rock ‘n’ roll. Having breakfast or brunch together has become a trend, and in recent years, many unique breakfast shops have popped up all over Taiwan. With such a rich variety, even foreigners are amazed. Below are some recommended specialty breakfast spots in Taipei—whether you prefer American, Taiwanese, Singaporean, or cozy and fresh styles, there's something for everyone.

FIKA FIKA Cafe
Do you enjoy a cup of coffee with your breakfast? Then come to FIKA FIKA Café!The owner of FIKA FIKA Café once won the Nordic Cup World Coffee Roasting Championship. The coffee here has a refreshing, multi-layered taste and is loved by many coffee enthusiasts!Especially the single-origin coffees recommended on the blackboard on the wall change daily based on the owner’s assessment of roast quality. The owner believes temperature is a key factor affecting coffee flavor, so here the single-origin coffee is divided in half after brewing—one part is rapidly chilled, meaning one order gives you two cups worth.

Ya Kun
Ya Kun is a well-known breakfast chain in Singapore and has recently opened branches in Taiwan. Its toast is brown because it’s roasted with Milo, giving it a crispier texture. Each slice is filled with butter and kaya (a jam made from coconut milk and eggs)—offering a unique, refreshing flavor that’s not overly sweet. Pair it with a half-boiled egg drizzled with soy sauce and pepper, stirred up and dipped into the kaya toast, and you’ve got an authentic Singapore-style breakfast.
