Hip Hop vinyl and coffee sounds like an unusual combination, but this café / record store makes it work. Album art lining the store's shelves and bins color the space, providing a contrast to the industrial, loft-style aesthetic. A landmark for Taipei's hip hop scene, Beans & Beats is also the office for local record label Kao! Inc. which features some of the most famous hip hop artists in Taiwan. But come here for more than just the music scene. Clever mashups like B&B's root beer espresso, and elderflower mocktail will satisfy your tastebuds while the soundscape satisfies your inner beat junkie.
