THE STORY

The story behind this place

2007 SINCE

Daily roasting from founding through relocation

RUFOUS was founded in 2007 around roasting and brewing coffee in-house. In 2014, it announced a move from its former site to 復興南路二段339號, continuing the same coffee work. Today's address is the newer base in that development.

Cream Americano MetroBites visit photo

Cream Americano

Lightly salted cream is silky and rich, with nutty black coffee below, creating clear upper and lower layers on entry.

Americano MetroBites visit photo

Americano

Clean and layered without rough bitterness, it lets the coffee's own aroma and finish receive attention.

METROBITES LOCAL TIP
Do not stir the cream smooth at first

Sip the Cream Americano directly first to feel the different intensity of cream above and coffee below. Mix gently later to taste the combined texture.

✨ AI Restaurant Snapshot

For in-house roasted coffee near 科技大樓站 · Technology Building or an established Taipei specialty cafe, RUFOUS COFFEE ROASTERS was founded by 楊博智 in 2007, with the original shop on Fuxing South Road as the brand's starting point. Decoration stays restrained while Cream Americano, Americano, and house-roasted beans lead. In 2025 it ranked No. 85 in the inaugural world's top coffee-shop list. Drink slowly here, and lower the conversation volume with the pace.

Uncle's line: Some coffee wakes you up. Here, it asks you to sit properly and have a conversation with the small flavors in the cup.
Interior and dining atmosphere:The original shop has a discreet exterior. Dim yellow lighting, a counter, postcards, and artwork make the interior feel literary. Seats are limited, guests mostly focus on coffee, and popular times fill easily. It suits solo visitors or quiet conversation rather than a group meeting room.

Location and dining notes:The address is 台北市大安區復興南路二段339號, about a 5-minute walk from 科技大樓站 · Technology Building. Seating, waiting, minimum spending, and the bean list may change on site. Choose a weekday or around opening to avoid crowds, and follow the latest shop notice for actual hours.
● Cream Americano

Cream first brings smoothness and a light saltiness, followed gradually by nutty coffee. They blend naturally rather than moving separately as oil and coffee. The first sips feel novel and later ones smoother. Do not immediately mix it completely; tasting the surface and coffee below in stages is more interesting.

● Americano

The flavor is clean and clearly layered, with no rough bitterness and no forced sweet-fruit-juice direction. It is a rational coffee to drink after cooling slowly. Aroma changes as temperature falls, so do not gulp it in three sips and receive only caffeine. To understand RUFOUS roasting, this cup speaks more directly than plenty of milk and sugar.

Uncle's line: Coffee cooling slowly is not failure. Some flavors wait until they stop burning your mouth before they speak.
● Coffee Beans (sold in store)

The shop sells beans roasted in-house with emphasis on clean, stable performance. Before buying, describe your brewing equipment and preference for acidity, sweetness, or body so staff can help choose. Taking beans home is not a contest. Adjust water temperature, grind, and ratio gradually for a chance to reproduce the direction of the shop's cup.

💡 A Coffee-Drinking Note

First-time visitors can begin with Cream Americano or the day's Americano, tasting it hot and then warm. When buying beans, clearly describe your usual equipment and taste; it gives a better answer than asking only which bag is best.

📌 Editor's Take

RUFOUS COFFEE ROASTERS advanced from 2007 to No. 85 among the world's top coffee shops through clean, stable flavors that unfold slowly. Cream Americano is distinctive, Americano more direct, and beans take the practice home. Sit down on a weekday and do not hurry the cup; only then does the shop begin to speak.
