The aroma, stylish clean lines and atmosphere promise something special, but it is the tractor-sized roaster on the mezzanine level that tells the real story of this cafe; commitment to coffee and culinary excellence. Fresh, high quality coffee individually selected and roasted by owner Charles is perfectly complemented by homemade cakes, cookies and a large variety of tasty treats. The lattes are good (NT$130) and the espresso fresh and lively (NT$100). I recommend the milk tea (NT$150) with cheesecake (NT$60) on the side for afternoon tea or, if you're feeling peckish, the Black Spaghetti with cuttlefish and white wine (NT$240) is an unusual treat. Mexican seafood and chicken with rice (NT$230) or the Baked Seafood Penne (NT$250) are just a few of the wonderful meals prepared by Havecca's dedicated chefs. High ceilings, comfortable seating and the ambience of a great coffee shop all make Havecca a great place to enjoy a quality meal or coffee prepared with skill by people who know and care about your culinary experience.
