A small cafe near Taipei City Hall MRT station. Opens early but closes quite early as well. The seats with the straight seat backs are more comfortable for working. Unfortunately the WiFi was a little slow and music was a little too loud in my opinion. Not really the type of place I'd sit and work for a long time, but definitely good enough for a short morning work session.

If you're into cat cafes then this is definitely a place to check out. It seems like a popular place since some of the tables were reserved, even on a weekday. The seats are fairly comfortable, there's fast WiFi, and the cats provide some entertainment.

A fairly new Dreamers location near Dongmen station. If you take the narrow staircase up to the 2nd floor you'll find a large seating area, with a large worktable and many small individual tables. The seats near the large windows have nice views and let in some natural light. On a weekday morning it was fairly quiet and not too busy.

After struggling a little bit to find a good place to work in Ximen, I eventually came across this small cafe tucked away on the 2nd floor in a small alley. The name is a wordplay on "你有", which means "you have" and is pronounced like "neo". The interior is quite interesting, and I wonder if the wall of sunglasses is a reference to "neo" from The Matrix, maybe?

There's a large worktable, several smaller tables, and the counter seats on the balcony seem like a good option when the weather is nice. There is decent WiFi, but only a couple of power outlets by the large table. If it's busy there is a 2 hour time limit, but it didn't seem to be an issue during a weekday afternoon. One issue I had was that there would occasionally be quite a strong cigarette smoke smell (maybe coming from the outside or someone smoking on the balcony?)

A great work cafe in Keelung, close to the night market. From the outside this cafe looks very small, but if you take the slightly precarious stairs up to the second floor you'll find a nice seating area with thoughtful decorations. There's a large worktable and counter seats, great WiFi, plenty of power outlets, and comfortable seats. The space is comfortable, but can be a little noisy if the windows are open since you'll hear scooters driving by outside. There is a 2 hour if it's busy, but on a weekday this was not an issue.

The order system is quite interesting here! After you place your order downstairs the staff will hand you a buzzer, and they will send your order up to the second floor using the food elevator. When your buzzer beeps, open the elevator door, take out your order, place the buzzer inside the elevator, close the door, and then press the elevator button once.

While visiting Keelung I was trying to find a place to get some work done in the morning on a weekday. Most cafes seem to open around lunch time, but this place opened earlier. The cafe is actually located inside the ferry terminal building. I was hoping to have some nice harbor views, but unfortunately it was blocked by the large cruise ship parked just outside. Plenty of seating, comfortable chairs, and power outlets. Unfortunately the WiFi was extremely slow, so you'll need to use a personal hot spot here.

I've known about PuiBui for a long time, but never visited before. It's conveniently located near Daan MRT station. The interior is quite basic, but it still feels comfortable and the environment was quiet, good for working. The drink selection is mostly coffee, but I did find a black tea on the menu. They also serve good lunch options, including thai style curry and sandwiches. The portion size was quite good and the price was decent, especially since you get a discount if you order food and a drink. They have a "hidden" room with 5 tables in the back that is non-talk only. You have to ask for it if you want to access to it.

During a trip to Kaohsiung I asked a friend for cafe recommendations. This was the first one he recommended, and it was definitely a great choice. The space is very large, feels modern and bright, with lots of natural light. There are plenty of seating options, and I especially liked the large worktables and the individual counter seats in the back (popular for working or studying).

The menu is quite cheap, and has both food and drink, so it's definitely suitable for a working brunch/lunch. I tried the bacon & peanut butter toast, which was quite good.

The WiFi was fast, there were plenty of power outlets. If I was living in Kaohsiung this would definitely be a regular spot!

While visiting Kaohsiung I tried this Louisa Coffee in the KW2 harbor side warehouse, about a 10 minute walk from the Sizihwan MRT station. From the first floor it doesn't look like much, but if you go upstairs you'll find a huge seating area. The seats facing the water looked nice (although the sun might be too bright in the afternoon). There was some drawbacks though. The WiFi was a little slow and unstable (disconnects from time to time). Also, the restrooms are quite far away, located at the other end of the building, which was a little annoying.

I recently discovered this cafe one evening while I had some spare time around Zhongxiao Fuxing. It's only a short walk from the station exit. During the evening on a weekday it was very quiet and there was only one other customer. Upon entering the cafe, the owner's dog will greet you with a friendly bark, although he never left the comfort of the sofa (that seems to be his regular spot!) The interior feels cozy, comfortable lighting, and good seats. The menu is quite large, with all the usual selection. I ordered earl grey tea, which came in a huge cup. It was good, but since I only had 1 hour to get some work done I wasn't able to finish it unfortunately.
