Melange Cafe

Today i am going to introduce you a very famous restaurant in Taipei 
Melange Cafe 





























































Melange is definitely my favourite waffle place in Taipei, actually, anywhere.
but every time i went there, i waited for approximately  an hour !!!! 
Every time  the line there  is so crazy!!!
The first time i went there, i really don't know why 
there are so many people wait for so long to eat here .. 


the cafe don't take reservations and if you miss your number , 
YOU HAVE TO LINE UP ALL OVER AGAIN !!
so this means you have to be there physically when the waiters calls 
out you number.

once i ordered and got the things on my table, i  realize that why 
people would be willing to line up for such  a long time for this place !
the waffle and beverages here are so great!!!

he queues are now very reasonable.
