Our Guestbook
“ Jolly breakfast or brunch place for people that want to try big breakfast series from the land down under. The owner is a young Taiwanese who was working in bars and restaurants while studying there. Food is great, offering great taste without being too oily or salty. The staff are friendly and energetic and the ambient is just right for almost any occassion. Price tags are in the acceptable range. Only thing as a reminder, don't be greedy and order too much ahead, because the servings are big and fulfilling. ”
“ Before we went, I was wondering why this brunch got such good reviews online as it locates in the middle of no where, after dinning there I totally understand the reasons and would like to personally revisit it. We came on a Saturday, it was pretty loud and busy yet the service was still on point, didn’t wait much for orders to be taken, nor for our coffee/food to be served. The coffee were unexpectedly good, not to mention the famous “Queens breakfast”. The platter for two costs you NT890, portion was perfect and each item comes with quality. We were pretty happy with the whole eating experience here and made one cake to go coz they all look so seductive. 5 stars for this far far away coffee, cheers! ”
“ This place has really good coffee, but you must give them time to brew it, because they brew them manually. The food is good, as well as the portion. But due to their popularity for coffee efficinados, service is not the greatest. Very often they are overbooked, and service is slow. But I think it has potential, because it's a solvable problem. I hope next time I visit, they will have better service. ”
“ As an Australian, I felt drawn to this place. Very nice atmosphere, accommodating staff who sat me without a reservation. The big brekky stacks up well against any that I have had back home. They also do an iced dirty chai, something that I have not seen before. Well worth a try. The only complaint is that they do not cook the tomato long enough. It is merely warmed up and not roasted. Apart from that, highly recommended. ”
“ Highly recommended! Hojicha Latte and Avocado Toast with Harissa They all tasted good. I really like this place. The atmosphere was great and the service was excellent. It’s a pity that Neihu is far from my home, otherwise I would find opportunities to come back more often. ”
“ The first visit to Neihu branch second visit to the Antipodean. Smaller restaurant so we could be seated with other people. I didn’t mind because I enjoy my meals so much. Love their service especially considering how packed the restaurant during weekend lunch time. The restaurant is pet friendly which is a bonus. ”
“ Delicious food with beautiful presentation and fast friendly service. What more could you ask for!? I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for gourmet coffee, fantastic cafe foods, and amazing service. ”
