The second and much bigger Second Space, opened in May 2026 on Qixian 1st Road. Same 24/7 self-service model as the Central Park branch — you sign up in the app, register your face, and the door lets you in at any hour. No staff, no cash, and payment is card or LINE Pay only.

The ground floor is a takeaway coffee counter, so the entire working space is the second floor and none of the cafe noise reaches it. Upstairs you get open coworking seating, dedicated desks, three phone booths and a meeting room — all with noise-cancelling walls — plus an event room with a large projector that doubles as a podcast recording space. Total occupancy is 45. Everything is included in the entrance fee with no paid add-ons, which is genuinely unusual for a day-pass space; booths and meeting rooms are normally metered elsewhere.

WiFi is 500 Mbps on Wi-Fi 7, and there are monitors at the desks. Big windows keep it bright, though the view is just a busy road rather than anything scenic. Food is the weak spot — coffee and snacks downstairs, no kitchen — but there's a 7-Eleven and a Starbucks right next door, and the Liuhe night market is about ten minutes away.

At NT$400/day it's noticeably pricier than the NT$250 Central Park branch, though the booths, meeting room and event space come with it rather than on top. Nearest MRT is Xinyi Elementary School (orange line), about a 6-minute walk; Formosa Boulevard is around 10.

Drop in friendly coworking space. They are unstaffed and you just reserve and go in with a QR code. Payment at the exit. Coffee and tea are self service. The drip bags are decent in taste. Some snacks available too. It is quiet and very good to concentrate and work. Also a bookable phone booth is available.

This is a un-staffed, vending machine based, 24h operating "cafe" that is meant for people to get stuff done. As long as you buy an expensive vending machine coffee for like 450 yen, you'll earn the right to stay there as long as you want. It's like a cheap airport lounge. The space is good, the chairs are comfy, lots of people working or studying, and the view out the window looking over the river is better than looking at a busy street. WiFi was decent, potentially an easy go-to especially early in the morning or later in the evenings. They say no food allowed from outside, not sure how they impose that though 🤷‍♀️

The hotel lobby of Quality Hotel Strawberry Arena features a corner for working/hanging out which is very empty in the mornings. They have a bar in the evenings but it's not open during the day. This means there's no food or drinks available during daytime, however the Mall of Scandinavia is next door and has a lot of options. The WiFi is fast and reliable and there's a few power outlets along the walls.

A small café which seems to be a collaboration with Volvo next door since the café connects directly to their showroom. The coffee was excellent featuring special beans replaced almost daily. The place was completely empty on a Monday morning despite the very central location. There is a guest WiFi provided by Volvo however it required signup so I opted not to use it. They don't really have anything to eat apart from a cake so you will need to head out for lunch.

A small coffee shop, a couple bar seats, and a large worktable. Very chill vibes. Seats are not the most comfortable or ergonomic.

There's a small cafe at the Impact Hub building. The cafe is open to the public and you don't need a membership. It's a nice, quiet spot to work (unless there's a meetup or event happening), but the guest WiFi is extremely slow and the power outlets are blocked. The cafe serves drinks and some small food/snacks. Food is available during limited hours.

Interior is quite small and minimal, but when the weather is nice, they have a large outdoor seating area, which is really nice. Pastries and sacks available. WiFi is decent, I didn't see any power outlets.

The new Swell location in Nakameguro. The space is perhaps a bit smaller than the old one, but seating options are more comfortable now. There's still a small outdoor seating area. I'm pretty sure they have more food options now. Fast WiFi and most seats have power outlets.

This is a expensive starbucks branch with not many (only a couple) of outlets. Fine for working but you could find better Starbucks tbh.
