There is a rumour that the world's highest Starbucks is located on the 35th floor of the Taipei 101 building. That said, of course we had to explore (and not pay 500 NTD to get to the observatory deck but still get a neat view)!
General notes:
- A reservation is compulsory. The number to call is +882 2 8101 0701. Our mandarin was not the best so we got our hotel concierge to make the reservation for us :P
- Don't forget to show up at least 5 minutes before your reservation timing
- There is a minimum spend of 200 NTD per pax
- The time limit is 90 minutes
- Make your way to Door 7 of the Taipei 101 building and join the queue. The Starbucks staff will come down and "mark" your attendance before bringing everyone up.
- Oh and there's a dress code: no shorts and slippers are allowed!!
TIP FOR EVERY KIASU SINGAPOREAN: BE THE LAST TO ENTER THE LIFT SO YOU CAN BE THE FIRST TO EXIT TO CHOPE A WINDOW SEAT TABLE. Yeah, that's what I did. Judge me (cause I judged myself). Bernard and I even had a freaking game plan - I grabbed seats, he ran to queue and order.
Yeah ok, go on, judge us. HAHA.
And now for the view worth 10 SGD per person:
Pretty damm neat and worth-it I would say!
We spent the full 90 minutes up there chilling, talking about life and taking a lot of photos. Like, a lot of pictures of me, hah:
This Starbucks is seriously the definition of "coffee with a view" and one of Taipei's best find for us!
