BRUNCH CAFFE ITALIANO

From our archives, Compass Magazine, Oct. 2001:

Brunch Caffe Italiano is the ideal place to relax. It’s not uncommon for customers to stay for two hours or more enjoying the quiet leisurely atmosphere. It gets a little noisier when school gets out as some students come here for an afternoon snack and wait for their parents to pick them up. Here it is possible to savor a cup of LAVAZZA coffee (NT$35 to NT$50) while listening to an artistic selection of music from Wind Records. If hungry, try the smoked chicken sandwich (NT$45) or afternoon tea set (includes a drink plus cake for NT$80). With so many locations, Brunch Caffe Italiano is a convenient and comfortable home away from home.
