ACME｜Cafe Bar & Restaurant

dined here on 13 feb around 5pm. 10/10 food and service. wait staff were polite and courteous, especially the staff manning the reception. love the acai bowl and chicken dish (can’t remember the name!). do make a reservation or be prepared for quite a bit of a wait if you walk-in cos the place is packed.

This beautiful culinary team crafts
not just meals
but moments of pure delight and connection
weaving a tapestry of flavors and emotions that linger long after the last bite

First, if you didn't make a reservation, scan the QR code located at the entrance to get on the day's waiting list.

Overall, I loved it! The interior was spacious and airy. Really stylish and relaxing to eat at. The food was great and complimented the overall vibes. Loved the mushroom toast followed by the truffle fries the most. The eggs benedict was just as delicious paired with a little dessert at the end which was a nice top off.

Hip big city style cafe with European/American style food. Incredible selection of brunch and lunch options. We ordered french toast, pasta, truffle fries, a smoothie, and the greek yogurt. All were fabulous. Portions are small. Very happy to return here.

Food are so delicious!! Love the ambiance, we came here everyday to try all their food on the menu. Everything is so yummy even the beverages.

Make a reservation for before coming, it is always packed.

Reservation highly recommended. Started to line at 11.45am at the outside elevator. Elevator won't be turned on before 12pm, so you have to wait outside until 12pm. Then take the elevator up, where you have to scan a QT code if you didn't book. 11 groups in front of us, waited for 1h30.

5/5: Tuna patties egg benedict is to die for.
4/5: Truffle fries - good serving
3/5: Brie cheese/mushroom toast is too sweet, but never seen for a brunch, points for originality.

Easily one of my favorite brunch/coffee shop in Taipei. Ingredients used in the food are delicately paired. Atmosphere is casual with semi-loud music, which prompts others to speak louder too. I like that they don’t take reservations, I’m an early riser so i can just stroll in and find seats, but others who like to plan ahead may not like that.

The best meal i had in Taipei, like seriously! The quinoa garlic rice was to die for and the salmon was so perfectly cooked. Also, don’t forget to order the eton mess if you’re a sweet tooth like me!

Incredibly authentic place for brunch! Besides the well-embellished space, food here is also pretty tasty, with a not-so-high price. ACME is a popular cafe/dining place, so it’s normally a lil crowded.

Love the vibes here and will definitely return!
#avocadotoast lightly salted and the #avo spread was generous 😋
#mintchocolate #milkshake Didn’t really taste the mint but passable 😄

They offered many selection of food, dessert and drink. Very nice space to enjoy good food and view. However, it can be very noisy during dinning experience. It's only downside.

Really nice menu and excusite food, the items are a bit pricey but are worth the cost.
Loved the toast and yogurt as well as the enormous strawberry tiramisù, it was filling and balances in taste.
The drinks were also fresh and full of flavor, would definitely reccomend to visit on a nice day as they have a balcony as well

Probably the best place for brunch in Taipei.
ACME serves the aussie style breakfast (avocado toast / French toast / poached eggs) at relatively affordable prices if you compare it to other brunch places in Taipei.
We ordered: poached eggs on avocado toast, French toast, brioche with bacon and scrambled eggs.
Long black goes for $110, and it tastes decent.
Special mention for French toast ($200+), incredible. Nicely caramelised on top, soft on inside.
Ambience was ok, could be better if the place is more well ventilated.
Overall, good experience. Worth a visit.

New Edit:

It’s amazing to see how this brand has grown in the last few years. The newly opened location in TPAC feels more refined both in terms of food and design. The purple cabbage and bamboo are my favorite dishes at this new location.

Original review:

Have been coming here repeatedly since this spot first opened because it offers a more refined and creative version of your typical American style brunch. Not to mention it’s one of the only good dining options in the area! I tend to go for their black sesame latte and salad but all of the other dishes I’ve tried are great, too. They also just opened Café Acme in Xinyi which I recommend checking out.

Celebrated my birthday on 19th and enjoyed the food! It is a pity they closed the door for outdoor viewing.

ACME was wonderful! My friends and I didn't have to wait very long because we were ok with outdoor seating. I had the avocado sourdough with eggs Benedict and it was amazing! I got a pineapple iced tea and yogurt to go with it (brunch combo). Great service and stylish environment. Will definitely visit again when in Taipei. 😀

Great ambience with nature lighting. Enjoyed the brunch menu and coffee. Food portion is large; suitable for sharing. Make reservation to avoid long waiting time.

Beautiful space situated down a quiet street in the center of ximending.

The staff are attentive and the food is heavenly, you can tell a lot of thought has been put into their menu with interesting combination of ingredients to make the food stand out from the crowd.

I had the iced coconut latte and although sweet, had slight saltiness to it which gave it a unique taste that I personally thought was delicious.

I can reccomend the chicken pesto sandwich.

Many people seemed to order French toast, this looked amazing and is on my hit list for my next visit.

Had a cinnamon latte here and loved it. The vibe is also great - relaxing music, bright and spacious interior, and green plant everywhere. It’s located at 3F of an old building on Ximending. Would come back again for their all day brunch - looks yum and need to try it out!

We're here second time in 3 months already. Lovely food and atmosphere. Quinua rice and Eton mess are a must.
Love this place!
