Where is the Bugcat Capoo 7-Eleven in Taipei?
The Bugcat Capoo 7-Eleven is located in Taipeiโs Xinyi District, near to National Dr. Sun Yat -Sen Memorial Hall.
The nearest MRT station to Bugcat Capoo 7-11 is exit 4 of Taipei City Hall MRT Station – it is approximately a 1 minute walk away.
It is called 7-ELEVEN ๆพ้ซ้ๅธ (ๅๆณขไธป้กๅๅบ) on Taiwan Google maps, and the full address is No. 141่, Section 1, Keelung Road, Xinyi District, Taipei City, Taiwan 110.
Arriving at the 7-Eleven store
The shop is not difficult to spot โ a lot of bright blue Bugcat Capoo branding has replaced the usual red, white and green exterior of this 7-Eleven.
Above the main entrance, there is a huge banner depicting Bugcat Capoo and DogDog, plus there is even a bright blue neon style Bugcat sign in the entrance window.
There are also several lit-up characters in the roof above the entrance – very cute!
One of the first things you notice as you get closer is the Bugcat Capoo themed cafe area inside plus a bevy of blue Bugcat merchandise – letโs get inside and take a closer look.
Inside the Bugcat Capoo 7-Eleven
We were cat-atonic when we first arrived – from the ceiling to cabinets, city cafe to check-out, Bugcat Capoo branding and little touches were all around.
This is not your typical Taiwan 7-Eleven, every surface has been branded Bugcat Capoo, with the merchandise section and branded cafe area the center-piece of the store.
We love the attention to detail – all of the chiller cabinets have Bugcat Capoo stickers or neon lights above them.
There is even an 8 foot long bright blue neon Bugcat sign at the rear of the store above the ready meal and chilled cabinets. Miaow!
Above the freezer section in 7-Eleven, Bugcat Capoo looks down at you upside down, with its cute paws waving at you, as DogDog and White Rabbit look on – this freezer section is literally very โcoolโ.
Look down below the counter where you pay and youโll even see Bugcat and DogDog dressed up in 7-Eleven employee uniforms (we arenโt sure how they serve all that coffee though with their paws)!
Bugcat Capoo coffee and cafe seating area
Like all the most popular themed 7-Elevens in Taiwan, the Bugcat Capoo 7-11 has its own branded coffee cups and 7-Eleven cafe seating area. Alas, there is no 3D latte art but hey, what do you expect for NT$47 a cup (around ยฃ1.10 / $1.45 USD).
If you do want a foam Bugcat Capoo or 3D latte art, be sure to check out the Bugcat Capoo Foam Cat Cafe in Taichung >
We sometimes find it quite hard to get a seat in the 7-Eleven Bugcat Capoo cafe. During peak times there can be a mix of people holding business meetings, doing selfies or just generally loitering. Some were even just there to use the microwave and eat their own food – cheeky!
The seating area has character faces on all the seats and tables – the 7-Eleven City Cafe coffee cups contain all your favourite Bugcat Capoo characters.
These coffee cups are exclusively available at this themed store – the outer cardboard sleeve where you hold it makes a great (and light) souvenir.
So far, weโve also managed to find (and drink) exclusive 7-11 Snoopy, Mofusand and Ultraman coffee cups at Taipei 7-Elevens.

Bugcat Capoo Merchandise
As you would expect, there is a bounty of Bugcat Capoo merchandise to buy in this 7-Eleven (along with lots of other character merch like Sanrio Hello Kitty and Mofusand).
We really liked the fact all the merchandise shelving is shaped to look like a giant blue Bugcat Capoo, complete with huge cat ears.
Example Bugcat Capoo merchandise you can buy includes:
- Bugcat Capoo plushies and pillows
- Coffee cup caps
- Purses and wallets
- Bags and napsacks
- DogDog seating cushions
- Tissue dispensers
- Stickers and magnets
- Bugcat Capoo blue digital radio
- Black Bugcat snow globe
- Wooden rubber stamps
- Chinese New Year cards and stickers
We spent around 30 minutes in the store exploring and enjoying our coffees and in that time, we saw quite a few Bugcat merchandise purchases. One lady was even weighed down buying two huge plushies!
The prices of Bugcat Capoo goods varies but you could buy purses for around NT$200 and the coffee cup stoppers for just over NT$100 – the larger plushies were a LOT more expensive though.
Themed Toilet
Nope, we arenโt talking โkittyโ litter – the attention to detail is so good, this Taipei Bugcat Capoo 7-Eleven even has a branded toilet area – we โsh*tโ you not! Bugcat Capooโs stickers and vinyls are all around the toilet area.
Bugcat Capoo 7-Eleven opening hours in Taipei
