A small and quaint cafe near Taipei City Hall. Both the interior and exterior are filled with green plants. The interior feels both modern and a little rustic, giving it quite a nice vibe. Luckily I had the entire cafe to myself on a (very) rainy weekday. Perhaps I was the only one that wanted to go out in the rain to find a cafe that day? The menu is quite large, with plenty of drink options, and although I didn't try any, the food sounded very nice (sweet and savory options available). Good WiFi, but slightly lacking power outlets (there was a power strip by the cupboards in the front seating area though).

A fantastic pay-to-use space with unlimited drinks and snacks. The space is operated by Tsutaya Bookstore, located on the 3rd floor of CITYLINK at Songshan station. You can either pay by the hour or buy a day pass. Prices are definitely higher than a typical coworking space, but considering the quality and selection of snacks and drinks I would still say the price is quite reasonable.

The space itself is very elegant and well designed. The WiFi is extremely fast and there are many different seating areas available, so you can choose what you prefer. The "best" seats seem to be the counter style seats in the back of the space, facing the windows with a nice view. You'll probably want to arrive a little early to grab one of these seats.

So what type of drinks and snacks are included? A lot! The coffee machine has Louisa and illy branded coffee, there is a large selection of caffeine and non-caffeine tea, juice, ice tea, coke and sprite. For snacks, there is a wide selection of nuts, chips, chocolates, and other sweets. There is also bread that you can warm up by yourself and packaged soup. If you want a bigger meal you can also pay for a daily boxed lunch or order some food from the Louisa coffee shop. Note that the sparkling water has an extra charge, and beer on tap requires the "alcohol inclusive" payment plan (more on that below).

The price is also follows:

• 180 NTD for the first hour
• 90 NTD for each additional 30 minutes
• 640 NTD for a day pass (8:30-21:30 = 13 hours = 49 NTD/hour)

For the alcohol inclusive plan:

• 260 NTD for the first hour
• 130 NTD for each additional 30 minutes

Also note that the rate is half price before 12:00 (noon) on weekdays (this does not apply to the day pass):

• 90 NTD for the first hour
• 45 NTD for each additional 30 minutes

Some other things to keep in mind:

• You can't take out food or drinks
• You can't bring your own food or drinks
• Keep the noise level down
• You can borrow books/magazines
• Printer is available for a fee
• Meeting room is available for a fee

This pay-to-use space offers an interesting concept for remote workers and digital nomads. It is a combination of both a cafe and a coworking space, offering two different types of plans, depending on what you need (more on that later). With plenty of seating choices, a large menu for both food and drink, fast wifi, and power outlets, it pretty much has everything you'd need. Another bonus worth mentioning is that they allow you to bring your own food!

The space is located on the top floor of the same building as the SkyCo coworking space (16F). It's quite large, but not huge, so you might want to arrive early to grab one of the popular counter seats facing the windows. There are also standing tables and plenty of small tables. The menu selection is quite impressive, with lots of drinks and food. The panini sandwich and toast were both well made, really tasty, and not too expensive either.

As for payment, you can choose between two different plans, depending on what you prefer:

Worker Plan:

• Unlimited "basic" drinks (free of charge)
• Unlimited small snacks (free of charge)
• Upgrade a "premium" drink for an additional cost
• First hour: 100 NTD
• Each additional half hour: 50 NTD
• Day pass: 390 NTD
• (Price is capped at 450 without a day pass)

Minimum Order Plan:

• The more you spend, the longer you can stay
• 2 hours: spend 100 NTD
• Unlimited time: spend 250 NTD

So which plan is best? Well, it depends. If you're planning to order a drink and food (sandwich) then the "Minimum Order Plan" is probably best since you will likely spend at least 250 NTD, which lets you stay the whole day. However, if you only want drinks (or plan to bring your own food), then the worker plan is probably best. I would say the concept is quite creative and great for catering to different peoples' needs. However, it does feel a little complicated at first.

A new cafe that recently opened in Zhongxing New Villeage in Nantou. It's small, but feels very cozy and nicely designed. There are a couple of tables available, suitable for work. Power outlets at every seat, but no WiFi unfortunately. Nice coffee, tea, and the scones look tasty! It's a little pricey for the area, but I like the vibe!

This Cafe is really nice, and just across the street from another cafe called PuiBui. There are individual tables by the front and a large worktable in the back. For working I really like the counter seats, which also have easy access to power outlets. The cafe serves tea, coffee, sandwiches, dumplings, and desserts.

The yellow sign on the door contains some important rules:

1. Minimum order: 1 drink, outside food and drink are not allowed.
2. Our tables include many sharp edges. Children under 12 years old are not allowed to come in.
3. We're a small shop without many seats, if you have to leave the shop for a bit, please inform us in advance.
4. Anyone who doesn't inform us of leaving for a short time, will have to spend the minimum price again.
5. It could get quite packed on the weekend. customers won't be served before everyone arrives (before 6pm).

A tiny cafe near Beimen station just across from the Beimen North Gate landmark, and just next door to another popular cafe called MKCR. The inside space only has counter seats along the windows, perfect for getting fresh air on a nice day. There are also a couple of seats outside. The menu is quite big, with coffee, tea, and desserts. Unfortunately there are no restrooms, so I guess this is really only suitable for a short stay.

Minimum order 1 drink, and there is a two hour limit on weekends.

A very quiet cafe near Taipei City Hall with a focus on tea. The interior is quite spacious with lots of seating and plenty of natural light. On a weekday it was very calm and quiet, with only a couple of people working and studying. The menu is simple, offering tea, coffee, and some non-caffeine options. Although the tea price is a little high, it does come with free refills of hot water, and the cookies are complimentary. Great wifi, plenty of power outlets, and very friendly staff.

A pleasant cafe located on the 2nd floor of the building across the street from Starbucks. There is a large menu serving food, snacks, desserts, and drinks. The WiFi is very fast and works well, but the inside seating area lacks power outlets. There are some power outlets on the balcony though (which also has AC). THe main downside is that the nearest restrooms are public and are located on the first floor of the building.

Located just inside The LINC mall, this cafe is great for getting work done thanks to plenty of power outlets and very fast wifi (the fastest I've come across in Kuala Lumpur). There's also a decent selection of drinks, and the food looks pretty good as well. Be sure to check out the 2nd floor as well, since there is more seating available there, as well an outdoor seating area on the first floor. The only downside is that the nearest restrooms our on the 2nd floor inside the mall.
