Taiwan cafe chain hits the spot on mainland

A cafe chain legendary for unusual recipes in Taiwan, its home market, plans to grow by 100 outlets a year on the mainland as a faster pace of life draws more people to pastries, coffee and takeout food.

The number of cafes on the mainland operated by the chain - known as 85C, the ideal water temperature for coffee - surpassed those in Taiwan earlier this year, with 366 today versus 347 locally.
