I've heard there's a legendary spot on Taipei's Yongkang Street hailed as the "origin of influencer cafes." If you haven't made a pilgrimage there, you can't claim to know afternoon tea! It's the waffle that sold over 500,000 pieces in ten years, known as the "traffic code," from petit doux, revered as the ancestor of influencer restaurants! I came here specifically for this waffle that sold over 500,000 pieces and is said to have a "cloud-like texture"!

With great anticipation, I ordered several legendary must-try items and prepared for my first exquisite petit doux experience. Come check out whether these dishes live up to the hype!
petit doux Yongkang Store is nestled in the artistic alleys of Taipei's Yongkang commercial district, an elegant dining landmark for many Taipei locals and tourists.
Marking the brand's 10th anniversary, the Yongkang store underwent a full renovation, transforming from its original elegant style into an ultra-light all-white aesthetic. The spacious, bright interior makes you feel completely relaxed the moment you step in.
The seating areas feature comfortable sofa designs, perfect for chatting and dining with friends, and it attracts many foreign tourists as well.
This restaurant isn't just a great photo spot—the food is equally impressive. petit doux's menu spans a wide range, from savory main courses and innovative low-burden healthy "Ice Lake Wild Rice Light Bowl" to classic desserts and refined drinks. Every dish reflects the store's dedication and offers excellent value for gatherings in Taipei. Weekday afternoons are bustling, so booking ahead is strongly recommended!
When visiting petit doux, you absolutely can't miss the French Lemon Cloud Waffle! The waffle is the soul of petit doux—each one is baked fluffy and soft, melting in your mouth like a cloud~
This flavor pairs delicate candied lemon with fresh lemon zest, finished with French lemon sauce. Its refreshing citrus aroma is perfect for spring.
Every bite weaves together subtle sourness, sweetness, and the dense texture of the waffle filling, creating a deeply soothing sensation that can't help but bring a smile~
For savory dishes, the Sweet & Crispy Fried Chicken is my must-order every visit! It's prepared with great care—the exterior is golden and crunchy, while the chicken thigh inside remains juicy.
If you're feeling tired, ordering this fried item with its dipping sauce will instantly brighten your mood!
Besides desserts, petit doux's drinks are also a highlight for influencers. The Flower QQ Tea Latte I ordered scores full marks visually—adorable popcorn is sprinkled on the milk foam, instantly lifting your spirits just by looking at it!
The milk foam is whipped fine and velvety, with brown sugar pearls hidden at the bottom that are perfectly chewy and flavorful. You first taste the crisp popcorn, followed by rich milk tea aroma and the sweetness of brown sugar—this drink is a foolproof, healing choice~
If you prefer a refreshing style, I highly recommend the Fruit Tea~ petit doux's fruit tea uses generous amounts of real fresh fruit slices. The aroma and sweetness at the base strike the perfect balance—not overly sweet, but naturally fresh.
After enjoying the hearty fried chicken or rich waffle, a sip of fruit tea with its balanced sweet-tart flavor perfectly offsets the richness, bringing this afternoon tea date to a wonderful close!
The renovated petit doux Yongkang Store features a trendier, more photogenic space, while the seasoning and ingredient quality reflect genuine care. Whether it's the savory-sweet interplay of the fried chicken or the unforgettable French Lemon Waffle, every bite is a little reward for life~
Next time you want to unwind alone or catch up with friends, head to Yongkang Street and find petit doux for the most healing afternoon tea moments!
