Dazzling Cafe

I have been wanting to go to Dazzling Cafe since it opened back in 2010. Originally a clothing and jewelry boutique, the owner of Dazzling decided to expand and start a cafe specializing in the infamous honey toast. There are now 7 Dazzling Cafes across Taiwan (in Taipei, Hsinchu, Taichung, and Tainan).



Each branch has a different color scheme and overall feel. There's Dazzling Cafe Pink, Mint, Blueberry, Sunshine, Bubble, Sky and Deluxe.  We went to Dazzling Cafe Sunshine which was located in ShinKong Mitsukoshi in Xinyi (close to Taipei 101). With yellow tinted lights, wall frames and menus the cafe clearly resonated sunshine.

 











My friends and I had already decided that we wanted honey toast, but there were so many tempting options to choose from! Being the indecisive girls that we are, after a good 5 minutes of um-ing and ah-ing we went for the Hazelnut Chocolate Honey Toast (NT$290). It was honestly a plate of heaven. With a mix of warm honey toast, hazelnut sauce and cold vanilla ice cream, it was the perfect combination. I can't believe I hadn't tried it sooner!





Let me just warn you, as small as it looks on the photo, it is actually big enough for four people. Although, small confession - we were three and managed to demolish it (don't judge us).

Along with the the Honey Toast we got a drink each. E and K got a pot of warm Strawberry Tea with Milk (NT$160) and I went for the Hazelnut Cocoa (NT$160).





The Strawberry tea pot was big enough to share between two people, whereas the cocoa drinks were suitable for one. The hazelnut cocoa tasted just as good as it looks. The best way I could describe it would be - melting Nutella and Ferrero Rocher in a mug. The hazelnut wasn't too overpowering and you could also taste the chocolate. My only complaint would be that they could have made the consistency a bit creamier and thicker.

If you're more of a savory person, then Dazzling has plenty of main dishes. If you haven't already checked out Dazzling Cafe, make sure to find your closest branch.

I definitely see what all the hype was about now!
