今天下午才和朋友到二條通，介紹她認識一下這個有特色的咖啡館，沒想到回家路上，就在聯合新聞網看到這則新聞，超開心，覺得台北市蛻變得越來越有特色，越來越濃厚的都會與人文藝術氣息。曾經為學生時期記憶中的光華商場、中華商場拆建和逐漸凋零關閉的重慶南路書店感傷，但越來越多舊建築物改建，又賦予台北另一優雅風貌，變成我和朋友閒逛、談心，創造新回憶的好地方。
記得民國80多年，進入職場工作還不久，辦公室也有許多同事喜歡喝咖啡，那時最喜歡看有人用透明玻璃瓶、酒精燈，以虹吸式方法煮咖啡，除了空氣中散發濃濃的咖啡香外，視覺上也是一種享受。成都路上的南美咖啡、蜂大咖啡，是我們喜歡去買咖啡豆的地方，剛磨過的咖啡粉，直接聞起來就很讓人沈醉。至於在店裏喝咖啡，記憶中都是和西餐連在一起，像成都路上的門卡迪、武昌街上的明星咖啡館…。但，不知不覺台北開起各式各樣的連鎖咖啡店，阿法貝塔、羅多倫、丹堤、怡客、星巴克、西雅圖、伯朗…，然後，便利商店也賣起咖啡，一早從小7拎一杯拿鐵到辦公室，變成一種習慣，而到處林立的咖啡館也變成日常生活用餐重要的一環。
台北市也變成隨便走都可以喝到咖啡的都市了。
介紹一下印象很深刻的兩家咖啡店，一是位在羅斯福路一段的三槐堂，老闆很有個性，煮咖啡超專注的，細膩流暢的動作，讓人覺得，這過程也是一種藝術，還有藍莓起司蛋糕很好吃。另一家是中山北路一段33巷的二條通，日式老房子改建，室內幽靜的氛圍，加上陽光從木窗、天井輕輕灑進來，暖暖的，讓人很容易放鬆。咖啡好喝、布朗妮好吃，發呆著，就有種淡淡幸福的感覺。

全球十大咖啡城市 台北入列
(聯合新聞網2012.11.3)
咖啡已經成為現代人的主要飲品之一，「今日美國報」旅遊版選出全球十大最佳品嚐咖啡的城市，台北市也名列其中。
今日美國報（USA Today ）指出，對咖啡愛好者來說，談到咖啡就讓他們眼睛一亮，不同品種、烘焙技巧以及泡製的方式，哪種咖啡最好，總有一番爭辯，但今日美國報選出全球十大最佳品嚐咖啡的城市，各有各的獨特性與美味。
台北市是唯一入選的亞洲城市，今日美國報指出，在東亞的台北市以咖啡文化與飲品聞名，但將台北列入全球十大最佳品嚐咖啡城市的主因在於好的咖啡是台北的文化遺產，新鮮烘焙的高品質咖啡豆合乎標準，同時緩慢、勞力密集式的泡製方法，鋪陳了真正的好咖啡。
在全球十大最佳品嚐咖啡城市中，歐洲就占了3席，分別是奧地利維也納、葡萄牙里斯本與挪威奧斯陸，其中維也納被排在第1位。
今日美國報認為，許多城市都以咖啡文化為傲，但只有維也納可以自稱具有聯合國教育、科學、文化組織（UNESCO）的認證。UNESCO在2011年頒給維也納咖啡之家無形文化遺產獎。
美國則不意外的由星巴克發源地的西雅圖與波特蘭獲選，報導指出，西雅圖與波特蘭分別被旅遊與休閒雜誌選為美國最佳咖啡城市的前兩名，入選不意外。
另外入選的還有古巴哈瓦那、澳洲墨爾本、加拿大溫哥華與巴西聖保羅。

World's 10 best cities for coffee
Countless varieties, roasting techniques, brewing preferences, and adornments yield dramatically different brews around the world, all with avid fans and vociferous critics.

Maybe it's all that caffeine in their bloodstreams, but talking about the world's best coffee gets people really amped. Countless varieties, roasting techniques, brewing preferences, and adornments yield dramatically different brews around the world, all with avid fans and vociferous critics. We've rounded up this list of 10 places that celebrate the essence of the bean, each in a unique and delicious way. There's a 100 percent chance that we've left off one of your favorites, though, so go to bat for your team in the comments.
Vienna
Many cities are fiercely proud of their cafe culture, but only Vienna can claim that its has UNESCO status. In 2011, Viennese Coffee House Culture received the organization's rank of Intangible Cultural Heritage. Since the 17th century, cafes full of marble tables and iconic Thonet chairs have set the scene for savoring a cup. With more than 20 coffee drinks to choose from at most establishments, there's a science to coffee in Vienna, but waiters are patient and willing to walk curious first-timers through the options.
Try: Cafe Central and Cafe Landtmann.
Seattle
Energy-boosting and abundant, coffee is the sun that overcast Seattle revolves around. And love it or hate it, Starbucks is only a small part of the hometown coffee scene. Taste your way through local roasters at independent cafes around the city, and see why Seattle walked away with top honors on Travel + Leisure's list of the best coffee cities in the U.S. And later, as you're lying in bed trying to fall asleep, ponder this: The city also ranked as the most caffeinated city in the U.S.
Try: Zoka and Caffe Vita.
Havana, Cuba
In Cuba, coffee is basically its own food group. A vital part of each day, steaming little cups of Cafe Cubano—espresso mixed with sugar as it brews—or Coradito—espresso topped with steamed milk—mark the morning, signal the end of a meal, and are a perfect excuse to stop and linger with a friend, new or old. To drink coffee in Havana is to join the rhythm of the city, and after a drop in Cuban coffee production, the country is now rebuilding its growing economy to meet the dedicated demand of its people. Cuban exiles in Miami have made the Florida city another great place for an authentic Cafe Cubano.
Try: Cafe El Escorial and Cafe de las Infusiones.
Melbourne, Australia
Melbourne is Australia's coffee capital, and we suspect it's vying for the world title as well. It may be a long way to travel for a cup of coffee, but with more and more people calling Melbourne's coffee the best, it's also an unbeatable way to fight jet lag. A proud history of independent cafes and innovative brewing techniques makes it worth the journey.
Try: Seven Seeds and Proud Mary.
Lisbon, Portugal
People get seriously poetic about coffee in Lisbon. The irresistible combination of a storied cafe culture and a fantastic cup of coffee can do that to a person. Pour yourself into the experience by heading to a cafe, settling in for a leisurely sit, and ordering a bica. The revered shot of black coffee is longer than an espresso and usually features beans roasted with a traditional low-and-slow technique that yields the drink's signature flavor.
Try: Cafe A Brasileira, the cafe at Miradouro de Sao Pedro de Alcantara, or any neighborhood pasteleria that strikes your fancy.
Portland, Oregon
Coming up second on Travel + Leisure's list of best coffee cities in the U.S. is a sure sign that Portland takes its liquid assets seriously. The New York Times calls Portland's coffee scene "the country's most intimate," a place where small roasters and their customers strike up earnest conversations about flavor profiles and taste notes. Whether you're looking for single origin, small batch, or light roast, there's somebody pursuing it passionately in Portland.
Try: Coava and Water Avenue.
Oslo, Norway
In the last decade, Scandinavian countries have come out swinging on the restaurant front, so it shouldn't be a surprise that Oslo is reinventing coffee in a very good way. The signature roast in Oslo is exceptionally light, resulting in an unusual flavor that, for most, takes a little getting used to. But converts say the style celebrates the true nature of the beans, turning a great cup of coffee into a fantastic one.
Try: Tim Wendelboe and Mocca Kaffebar & Brenneri.
Sao Paulo, Brazil
Fact: Brazil produces almost 40 percent of the world's coffee. Pair its standing as a major producer with strong cultural influences from coffee-loving countries Portugal and Italy, and you've got the perfect recipe for a great cup. And while the world's biggest coffee-producing countries don't always have a coffee culture to match, Sao Paulo does its home country proud.
Try: Coffee Lab and Cafe Floresta.
Vancouver, Canada
This is a city of micro-roasters, bean educators, champion baristas, and countless cafes. As Vancouver leads the way for a new generation of bean-to-cup coffee fanatics, it's staying true to the fuel. Vancouver baristas coax the best flavor out of carefully selected coffee varieties using Clover, vacuum-pot, and cold-brew techniques. Travelers seeking out independent and small-chain cafes get a little something extra with their coffee: the chance to discover many of the city's best hidden neighborhoods.
Try: Forty Ninth Parallel and Revolver.
Taipei, Taiwan
Yes, Taipei. Other cities in East Asia are known for their cafe culture and coffee drinks, but we're throwing Taipei's hat into the ring because, as surprising as it might seem to the uninitiated, great coffee is part of Taiwan's national heritage. Freshly roasted high-quality beans are standard, and slow, labor-intensive brewing methods pave the way to genuinely good coffee.
Try: Fong Da and Barden Farmstead.
