Gabee Coffee

Visited after hearing about Van Lin’s incredible performance third place in the world at the CIGS competition. The café is modern, stylish, and the perfect place to enjoy a coffee-inspired cocktail. You can feel the craft and precision behind every drink. A must-visit spot for anyone who appreciates the artistry of coffee at its highest level.

One of very best coffee in Taipei for me. I ordered Dirty with medium roast beans and Con panna with light roast beans (suggested by the barista). The Dirty was really good and Con panna was the best. The cheese cake was great, too. The staff is very friendly here. For this price point, this place offers best coffee in Taipei for me.

The coffee here tastes good. I was quite impressed. That day before I left, I ordered another cup. As for the dessert, it wasn't special to me, but it was delicious when eaten with the coffee.

Good con panna. We have also tried special coffee for sweet potato and grape icy. Personally, I don't like grape coffee because of no coffee flavour. We have also encountered some elders group which is very noisy. It's unpleasant.

It’s such awesome surprise of experiencing a coffee shop spent so much energy to perfect their offerings. I can go so much deeper about their coffee but I wouldn’t. I can only tell you whatever your decision is about your choice of coffee here is 10 times better than your Starbucks. However, I have to point out a very negative thing about their sandwiches. They pride themselves with their focaccia Italian sandwiches. However, their choice of cheese is a bright yellow American rubbery cheese that totally ruin the whole prestige, stainless steel clean and sharp modern million dollars store presentation. Other than that it is a five stars Café shop. I enjoy the whole experience and thank for the owner’s dedication and vision about the place. The owner can google “10 Cheeses Serve with Focaccia”. Costco in Taipei offers big packages of Provolone cheese with a very friendly price. If they can spread extra virgin olive oil inside of the bread that will be even better.

I come from the Pacific Northwest where trendy cafes that serve good coffee and good food are common. GaBee is by far the nicest shop I've been to in a long time. I love the decor and design of the space and the coffee drink and French toast I had was amazing. I wish they would open a spot in Portland!

coffee was definitely on the higher end in terms of price and quality. wasn't very crowded and service was good. also, the chocolate basque cheesecake was great! overall, it is a proper hangout spot.

This is a place where it looks like they take their coffee seriously. I don’t have a strong palette for coffee but it’s a cool place to hang out. They have gelato from Tainan, and specialty coffees on the menu. I had an espresso machiatto and if u choose standing at the bar at the window, it’s 50% off regular price ($60 after discount). Saw several patrons parked inside working on their laptops and chillin. The neighborhood is nice with several local coffee shops within the couple blocks.

After perusing several food blogs and lists, I deemed Gabee worth a visit. (P.S. After phonetically saying "Gabee" I wondered if it's the same as the Taiwanese dialect word for "coffee" which I thought was a cute touch.) Inside, it's not a particular nice or memorable space. In a country where tea and coffee shops run the gamut and so many of them are standouts, Gabee runs on the more chill side. There is a stark 'outdoor' patio in the back and a few tables inside. Of course I wanted to order their famous sweet potato coffee: a layered drink with sweet potato paste, espresso, frothed milk, sweet potato chip, whipped cream, garnished with coffee bean and sweet potato slivers. It was served in a martini glass and was...delicious. I read somewhere it's Taiwan's version of a Pumpkin Spice Latte which I could see, but this was somehow so much better than that. Not overly sweet, not overly sweet potato-y...the taste profile was just on point. Also, my dad ordered the iced Cantaloupe Coffee Latte which may sound strange, but something about the slight milky look/texture of this matched the incredibly yummy taste. Also not too sweet. Glad we stopped by.

So the drinks were good and staff were extremely polite, they just have a rule that requires everyone in your group to order a drink which I think should be labeled more clearly. They also don't allow to-go drinks because apparently they have to be drunk a certain way. But if your entire group doesn't want to order something, as was our case since we just finished breakfast and was full, order and drink at their standing counter. Here you can order however you want, and you'll get a discount on your drink as well.

Very inventive coffee!!! I ordered sweet potato latte and tiramisu latte. Both are really good and very different! Highly recommend this place for specialty latte and good coffee. Waiters are knowledgeable of their coffee. This cafe is located in an alley, might be hard to find, but I ubered here. There's free wifi as well. I also bought a bag of dark roast coffee beans, and the flavor was really good brewing them at home!

Getting coffee in a land where each block has at least 2 good, cheap tea places? Not so crazy anymore! I met up with a friend from the states here because I'd heard good things about Gabee on several blogs. Taipei's coffee scene has really picked up in the last several years, and with the convenience of the MRT, I can get to them with ease. :) They specialize in interesting coffee "cocktails": unique flavor takes on coffee drinks. I had to try their famous sweet potato latte. Despite not being the biggest fan of sweet potato, I enjoyed the contrast of flavors in the drink. The caramelized sweet potato "chip" laid on top was a great finishing touch to round out the sweet potato puree at the bottom of the latte. A great place for catching up with friends or for working/studying!

Arrived as soon as they opened and waited almost 30 minutes for 2 drinks. We were the only ones in there, but someone placed a dozen drinks for pickup. Drinks are def on the higher end, but you are also paying for a premium drink! Worth it! Ordered the Sweet Potato Latte and Cereal latte. The sweet potato latte was AMAZING. It has a thousand flavors in each sip. The cereal latte was ok, I would skip this if I were you. It tasted like your typical latte with soggy oatmeal in it. Get the SPL!

This place is great for an afternoon coffee and free wifi. I tried their sweet potato coffee and fell in love! The baristas recommend certain ways to drink your coffee. Mine had foam on top with a caramelized slice of sweet potato, espresso, then sweet potato puree at the bottom. Super decadent and delicious! My dad got the cherry devil, that had a bit of rum flavor infused in it, and it was a bit strong for me. The cappuccino and cereal latte were super flavorful and good too! We ordered a banana chocolate waffle, and it was very crispy on the outside, fluffy inside. Definitely outside of the Starbucks price range, but worth it, I love this place!

I love coffee but I am not a coffee enthusiast. I enjoy the smell and taste with cream and sugar. My friend ordered a very bitter coffee and you are to drink it without additives. To us it wasn't tasty, lol. But the presentation of the item brought to the table and the coffee being strained at the table. That was SO nice! We both ordered the sweet potato coffee and cinnamon apple fresh toast. Can you say Delicious!?!

Slightly more expensive than Starbucks, but much better roast quality. The flavor stood out very well in their cappuccino. They also have dessert coffees, their signature drinks. Tried the sweet potato iced coffee. Great presentation and quite tasty. It is a bit sweeter than I would normally want, but the strong coffee flavor balances it a bit and made it manageable. Decor is interesting and the space is nice. Came after dark, and the lighting is a bit dim, but overall it was comfortable enough.

This place is well decorated and quite comfortable. When you enter, there are several couch seats on the right hand side and merchandise on the left side for sale. The place is actually quite big and cozy. Their hazelnut latte and almond latte is super delicious, especially the foam is thick and very creamy. Highly recommend their waffle, should definitely tryout their maple syrup and chocolate banana with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the food, but would be better if they can offer better service. Sometimes, the waitress and waiter does not smile much and customers can be easily offended. This place is also a good place for bringing a laptop to come and work, but if you want a quiet environment, I won't suggest to come here as it gets quite busy over the weekend.

Craving a really good espresso and missing Fall back in the US, I came across Gabee and their sweet potato latte. Closest thing I may find to a pumpkin latte, so I came to check it out. Hands down best coffee I've had in Taipei over the last 11 months. Who knew potato + espresso would pair so well?

Great coffee and cool space. Warning on the coffee based gelato as it is extremely bitter, but good. Otherwise coffee is as expected from such a shop and doesn't dissapoint.

Good coffee and I also really liked the smoked duck salad. Lots of little nice things about this place, from the design of their menu to letting you select how to brew your single origin coffee. Good wifi and so a good place to work offsite.
