Mingde & Shipai

明德・石牌

A residential pause in northern Taipei.

The streets between Mingde and Shipai offer a quieter café outing than central Taipei. ANGLE II brings its sibling’s roasting programme into the Ronghua Road neighbourhood, with coffee and cake as the focus.

The northern sibling of ANGLE pairs the brand’s self-roasted coffee with a more restrained, geometric café interior. It makes a useful stop in the residential streets between Mingde and Shipai, particularly when you want a hand brew and cake rather than a hurried takeaway.

OUR SUGGESTED ORDER

A hand brew from the current bean list with whichever cake is available that day.

Before you goThe address is in Beitou District, Taipei City. Some older posts mislabel it as New Taipei; use Ronghua 3rd Road to navigate.
