Chose to come here for a pre-interview lunch and ordered the tomato and vegetable pasta set with salad and a latte. The latte came first quickly followed by the salad. I eyed my partner's cream-topped drink with envy but luckily my latte was pretty good, smooth and a little bitter without being either too milky or too acidic. The salad was good too, fresh vegetables with a herby vinaigrette and several satisfyingly tasty roasted nuts. The main dish was pretty much on a par with similar dishes, the sauce was mostly comprised of just tomatoes without the sweetness you often get from adding sautéed onions or garlic but it wasn't too watery and the pasta was nicely cooked too, not too soft.

有些事在發生的當下想來煩躁,但當時間往後推移,也未嘗不是一個學習的機會。趁著暑假在大同大學走跳,終於有機會把版圖擴展到了圓山附近,早耳聞樹樂集多時,但也未曾實際到訪,卻因著一些小意外而走入了這家特色鮮明的咖啡店,也就放寬心享受悠閒的午時。樹樂集位在圓山站附近一棟白色的樓房中,一樓是咖啡廳,二、三樓則作為藝廊與展演中心之用,不定期展出台灣藝術家的作品,偶爾也會有作家的分享會。以自然為主體,店內有幾株樹枝裝飾,家具也大多是木製的除了販賣咖啡、輕食、甜點,也有一些文創商品。可愛的窗戶與雜貨,還有些鄉村風。樹樂集的天花板,不規則排列的舊窗框當天的展覽是以臘腸狗Jumbo為模特的泡咖啡的臘腸先生。打從貓孩進入我們的生活,那個只比手掌大一點小貓已長成了健康的大貓,除了貓兒子、偶爾也那些跟他一樣來自學校停車場的孩子們。對於熱愛動物的自己來說,能看到這樣幸福的小生命,真的很令人開心。焦糖戚風蛋糕,鬆軟細緻的蛋糕體,在嘴裡伴隨著焦糖香氣一起化開,濕潤而不乾澀,雖甜但不膩反讓人意猶未盡。抹茶拿鐵,喝來順口不苦澀,但抹茶味稍嫌不足。樹樂集 Treellage Life Cafe地址:台北市大同區民族西路33號營業時間:周一~周五:12:00-22:00,周六、日:11:00-22:00電話:(02)2599-1599…查看更多
