My wife and I ordered a blueberry bagel, a ham and cheese sandwich, a Spanish-style coffee (I forgot the exact name), and an iced lemon Earl Grey tea. The lemon Earl Grey tea was refreshing, and my drink was also quite good. Their bread was decent. The atmosphere of the shop was great, with upbeat music adding to the vibe. I appreciate how small shops in Taiwan can still survive and support livelihood, which is quite different from the situation in Hong Kong.

Amazing place with super friendly owner and staff! I had a single-origin americano (Sidamo) today, and it tasted really good. What made my visit special was how thoughtful the owner and the staff were — they noticed I was working on my laptop, so they turned on extra lights for me, and even helped me move my bag so I could sit comfortably. Truly a cozy and welcoming place!

The owner Jamie is from Spain via Australia! A very smooth hot cappuccino (NTD90). Not overly fruity. Also, importantly not burnt. Pleasant reggae music playing in the background.

SKA is a small and quaint neighborhood coffee shop that brews up a nice cup of java. The cappuccino is great and the ham and cheese sandwich is tasty. Jamie, the owner, is friendly and a super chill guy. If you’re a real coffee lover, I highly recommended SKA Coffee for daily fix.

This cozy takeout coffee shop has a warm vibe, and the owner is super friendly. The brownie is rich in flavor and goes perfectly with black coffee. The coffee tastes amazing and is so much better than the usual, must try!

The flat white was sensational. It's always difficult to find good coffee away from home but ska coffee nailed it. Great atmosphere, must visit in Taipei!
