1. Aoki Western-Style Cafe
Aoki Western-Style Cafe insists on using local ingredients. The café’s interior features ample natural light and a refreshing ambiance, aiming to offer visitors a clean, healthy, and elevated vibe. Their signature item is the marshmallow hot griddle pancake. Thanks to the high heat of the iron pan, the inside of the pancake remains fluffy and thick, with a texture as smooth as honey cake. Paired with the sweetness of marshmallows, the flavors elevate each other without being overly sweet.

They hope to encourage people to put down their phones and talk directly to the friend sitting across from them — this is what MR. PAPA WAFFLE & CAFÉ aims to do in-store, which is why they don’t offer Wi-Fi. It’s rare for shops these days to make that choice. Their waffles also focus on being affordable yet diverse, giving customers plenty of options. The grilled marshmallow waffle definitely has its own place here. The marshmallows are roasted and then stacked right on top of the waffles, making the whole portion look quite generous and giving off a high value-for-money vibe. Go find your friend, leave the internet behind, and enjoy some face-to-face waffle chats together.

Address: No. 22, Lane 5, Alley 170, Section 4, Zhongxiao East Road, Taipei City (Mingyao Branch)

5. Kyushu Waffle Café
Touted as serving Japan’s most delicious waffles, Kyushu Waffle Café emphasizes using wheat produced in Kyushu to create an authentic Kyushu-style waffle mix, full of Japanese flavor. The waffles here have a different texture from the usual thick ones — they’re slightly more elastic, with a very unique taste. Their marshmallow brownie waffle combines the waffle with handmade chocolate brownie, berries, marshmallows, vanilla ice cream, and whipped cream, topped with berry sauce for a flavor profile that's richly layered. They also offer a rare savory-style waffle. As a waffle lover, how could you miss this place?
