Fujin Street is a special part of Taipei. A tree-lined street in the heart of Minsheng Community. It’s quiet (visually and aurally), peaceful. It feels residential, comforting like a neighborhood you grew up in. A stark contrast from the chaotic overstimulation of many other neighborhoods in the city. The street inspired the hospitality group behind a few popular spots in the neighborhood, Fujin Tree, with a Taiwanese restaurant and cafe. Over the years, it has grown to have several locations around the city, bringing a bit of that Minsheng tranquility into other parts of Taipei.

There are three locations for Fujin Tree Cafe around Taipei. Each one feels like a clean, minimalist oasis in that Japandi way. Bright and airy with casual seating arrangement inviting you to sit down for a bit and get comfortable. Coffee ranges from a selection of pourovers for the purists, to decadent and creative espresso based drinks and teas. And like any good Taiwanese cafe, there’s food to complement. A selection of beloved desserts like tiramisu and chiffon roll cakes and the classic custard pudding, and light bites like toast and salads and, because they can, ban (mixed) noodles for a full meal. Fujin Tree has managed to bring to the city a cafe that fits right into the cosmopolitan culture while slowing things down just enough to savor.
