After a three-year absence, The Naked Cafe has re-opened
in a larger, newer location just a block from the Art
Museum (WuQuan) Parkway. Owner Crystal Lin says she
wanted to create a relaxing American '60s or '70s bakery-cafe
vibe at her new place, and she captures some of that
with the earthy colors, lots of wood, big glass windows,
an open kitchen and a laid-back atmosphere with inside
and outside seating. The menu starts with American,
German and English set breakfast (7-10:30 a.m.) options
(NT$59-99) that come with items like salad, bread, eggs,
drink, imported sausage, ham and hash browns, depending
on your choice. Other food items include salads (NT$80-150),
Double Sandwiches (combo, beef, lamb, tuna, ham &
cheese, etc.), burgers, pita pockets, bagels (blueberry
cheese, cream cheese, comb, tuna, etc.), sub sandwiches,
and focaccia sandwiches. Individually, all of the above
are well under NT$100 each, with NT$50 added for fries
and drink. Pastas and evening dinner hours will be added
in the future. In addition to offering various coffees
made with Lavazza beans, Crystal is especially proud
of Naked Cafe's unique "Teapresso"--actually
made with an espresso machine using green, black, milk
and other teas, plus juices. --By Douglas Habecker,
