If you're craving something more filling and warm, the popular “Seared Sous-Vide Chicken Brunch” is your perfect match!
The chicken breast is precisely sous-vide for an incredibly tender texture that shatters any preconceptions of dry chicken. Lightly seared on the surface, it releases an irresistible aroma. The plate also generously includes vibrant fresh greens, oven-roasted seasonal vegetables that retain their natural sweetness, a perfect sunny-side-up egg, and a cup of smooth, rich herb yogurt.
The entire brunch plate is beautiful, photogenic, and packed with nutrition—plus the delicious blueberry yogurt! It leaves you fully satisfied, a true feast for both eyes and palate!

It features a variety of seasonal vegetables with layered crisp and tender textures, delivering plenty of dietary fiber in every bite. It's satisfying yet completely guilt-free—the top choice for warm salads in Taipei with excellent value!
After the savory dishes, your second stomach is ready for Come True CAFE's signature “Black Sugar Pearl Milk Tea Soufflé”! I have to shout: if you come here and skip the soufflé, you might as well not have come! This ultimate Taiwanese-flavored dessert arrives with a perfect visual score.
The soufflé is baked to an extremely fluffy and dense texture with a pure, rich egg aroma. A gentle poke with a fork reveals a cloud-like, soft, and silky-smooth bite that never feels dry~
The top is generously drizzled with the chef's special milk-tea custard sauce, then finished with a thick layer of caramelized black sugar powder. Paired with the ultra-chewy, black-sugar-infused QQ pearls on the side, every bite releases rich black tea and milk aromas that melt together with the eggy soufflé, complemented by the pearls' satisfying chew. It's like turning the best bubble tea into a divine dessert! If you love black sugar milk tea like I do, you absolutely cannot miss this perfect, extra-soothing afternoon treat!
With dessert, you can't skip the top-tier coffee and tea! Coffee enthusiasts must try the “Jade Grape Nitro Coffee”—it's truly impressive. Infused with nitrogen technology, it features a fine, silky foam on top. The coffee aroma is rich and full-bodied, smooth without bitterness. Magically, as it goes down, the sweet and juicy jade grape notes emerge in the finish. Fruit and coffee aromas balance perfectly with incredible depth—a modern coffee full of surprises.
If you prefer to avoid heavy caffeine in the afternoon, order the best-selling “Come True Fruit Tea”! This refreshing cold drink is packed with real, freshly cut fruit pieces visible through the clear cup—pure sincerity. Built on a natural roselle tea base, it's blended with fresh kumquat, lemon, and passion fruit for natural tart-sweetness. One sip and the fruit acids perfectly balance the tea aroma, concentrating natural vitamin C inside. The lightly sweet-and-sour new flavor will keep you sipping nonstop—your best savior for a relaxing afternoon gathering!
