Sonnentor Cafe 日光大道健康厨坊 - https://www.facebook.com/sonnentor.tw
The Fujin outlet I visited (富錦店) is super out of the way, about 5-10 minutes drive from Songshan Airport. There are other locations to visit so feel free to choose to visit the others. I am not sure if their interior design is similar for all outlets but the Fujin outlet is very well done. Their toilet is very well hidden along the walls that, without a sharp eye, you might be walking around the shop twice before giving up and asking the staff. (I noticed the little toilet sign in the middle of the wall because I was busy taking photos of their interior). My friends wanted to try this cafe because of their homemade bread, however to me the coffee and bread are nice but nothing to rave about.
Strawberry Creme Brulee - This item left me with the strongest impression. In the custard base was a generous amount of Strawberry puree and on top of the caramel was supposed to be fresh strawberries but as I was there only at the end of the day, they were out and replaced the strawberry toppings with dried berries, which was equally yummy.
Carbonara Fettucine with Bacon - The pastas served there are really good too as the pasta itself was really well cooked. Not sure if it is handmade pasta but the texture was springy and the noodles did not require much sauce to make it tasty. The carbonara was not overly gelard and bacon was tasty (duh?!).

Cavaralli Cafe 卡瓦利意大利咖啡馆 - https://www.facebook.com/CavaralliWith no food selection available and almost close to none desserts (cookies, cheesecake, bread and tiramisu on weekends), this cafe is strictly for the coffee lovers to sit down and enjoy your cuppa. The smell of fresh roasted coffee lingers in the air as you get cosy in the wooden chairs and gossip with your pals or plan out your itinerary for the day. Otherwise, head down to the famous Din Tai Fung nearby and queue for a number before heading over to this cafe to wait for your turn. Bread is served warm and has some nuts in it.

The Coffee Alley 咖啡弄 - http://www.coffee-alley.com/
This cafe has a wide selection of desserts to choose from and the menu uses a lot of fresh fruits. My impression of this cafe is just average and since it was quite costly too, I remember leaving the cafe without the urge to make a second visit.
Fresh Fruits and Mango Ice Cream Waffle (鲜果冰淇淋松饼)
The waffles were soft and egg-y. Mango ice cream was refreshing and blueberry jam was the perfect mix of sour and sweet. The mango puree in the mini jar was overly sweet.
Strawberry Mille-feuille (法式草莓千层派)
The mille-feuille was quite bland and the strawberries were sour.
White Chocolate Mocha (白巧克力摩卡咖啡)
The white chocolate is served separately so you can add according to your preference.
The Coffee Alley has outlets in Hong Kong as well!- last visited October 2012
The cakes here are really pretty and pretty good in terms of taste. Do expect it to be costly. The cafe sells a variety of chocolates too and other merchandises to bring home. They even sell birthday cakes that you can pre-order online.
Valerie - Chestnut Sponge Cake
Passion Fruit Sponge Cake(No longer in the menu)
The sponge cake is once again soft and sponge-y and the infused passion fruit taste was not overly sweet. On a whole, this cake is light and delicious. Sadly, it is off the menu.
Delices - Chocolate Cake (the pyramid shaped one)
Lucie - Marble Cheesecake
