They offer loads of other things like soy milk drink (mmmn-not sure), fried radish (ok with loads of sauce) and these pancakey things with fillings...They work out of a teeny space and wash the dishes etc on the street....They must think I'm really weird as we can't really communicate and one day I came home at 5h30 with 2 guys and another girl after a night of partying and walking up to the Goddess of Mercy...we were just regrouping before a beach visit but it must have looked wild from their point of view. Smiling sweetly usually solves all the issues!
Below is HOOK Coffee on my corner - such a sweet family - they also work like Trojans; starting at about 9am and open until 11pm at least. The dad is so great - he knows my estate agent so he passes on messages and helps me when my keys get stuck in the door; they also notice when I'm late or if they don't see me for a while...so I feel really safe. Plus----his coffee is the best and very reasonably priced! Starbucks is way too over-rated and expensive. The weird thing is that although he speaks quite a bit of English - I don't know his name - need to correct that today! Most of our conversation includes...caffe latte, just coffee (hot or cold!) and Kim and I meet there quite often!

I'm sorry - are you a Starbucks Loyalty Police Special Agent?
you seriously freaked me out - I've been giving all Starbucks a wide berth - even in Taipei - thought there was some undercover plot to find me - !! You will pay for your sins boet!
