Situated on a lane that's becoming quite populated with cafes, most notably Flat White, Yaboo is an 'eclectic lounge' style fitout that's popular in Taiwan.
As is customary in Taipei, patrons pass the time on laptops, playing cards and just plain lounging around with no angst from the proprietor due poor turnover. It's a model that's just not found in Australia.
Coffees are localized for the resident market in both size and style. Refer other posts for more info.
The smallest flat white I could order was about 12oz thus it was too milky. Having said that the milk was well textured and sported great free pour latte art on top. The coffee was quite sour, even through the milk and it was for this reason I didn't order an espresso chaser.
The food menu contains standard Taiwanese offerings though they do get a little more creative with cakes and dessert, providing some interesting French choices.
Outdoor (smoking) seating is available, shared with a delightfully lethargic ginger cat that suns itself on any available seat. (Official resident, not a stray).
A stairwell descends down from the main floor to a gallery below, something I didn't inspect on this occasion.
Great staff, great service, pleasant coffee. Yaboo won't be knocking Flat White off its perch anytime soon but I'll happily return on FW's day off , as I did this time.
