A very nice and comfortable cafe to work from. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, great cakes, and good drink selection. It wasn't very busy just around lunch, but it filled up later in the afternoon (presumably a popular cafe with students).
An interesting cafe, which is very workable. The interior somehow reminds me of a classroom, but it was comfortable to work from. Very fast outlets and lots of power outlets. The main thing to be aware of is that the owner's attitude wasn't very welcoming or accommodating. He didn't seem to happy about people changing seats or ordering before everyone arrives. Something to keep in mind if you visit.
Tucked away on the 2nd floor of this art supply shop you'll find a perfect cafe for quiet work or study. Not only is the space quiet and comfortable, it's also worth trying the surprisingly tasty beef curry, which is very reasonably priced, including a drink and a small dessert as well.
On a nice day you can also enjoy the outdoor seating on the balcony. I guess the only minor fault I could find was the lack of power outlets (which from what I could tell, all tables don't have access to). Other than that, it's definitely a great place!
Note that the shop opens at 10:30, but the cafe opens at 11:00
A hidden gem near Zhongxiao Fuxing. I visited this cafe on a Saturday and I was worried it would be very busy. However, that was not the case, there was only one other group during the whole day. I imagine weekdays are probably quiet as well. The cafe entrance is hidden on the 2nd floor of the building. If the outside door is locked, then you need to press 7202 on the buzzer.
The interior feels spacious and bright, with large windows over looking the street and MRT line. Music was a little loud, but other than that it was a great work environment. The menu selection is all vegan, and all "milk" drinks use almond milk. As a non-coffee drinker the latte tasted quite good to me. Unfortunately the tea selection was quite small.
Simple and clean interior, very comfortable for working. There are plenty of seating options, and the chairs are comfortable. The music selection is quite special (mostly ambient music) but it wasn't distracting. (Old reviews on Google Maps say you need to pay to use the power outlets, however this is no longer the case). Drinks were a little underwhelming (the English Breakfast tea didn't taste very fresh), but the tiramisu was very tasty.
I'm always on the lookout for good workable cafes near Zhongshan station. Most cafes always seem to be very busy and have a restaurant vibe, rather than a coffee shop. While this place, L'après Midi Cafe, doesn't really look or feel very special, it was at least very quite on a weekday afternoon. There's a decent selection of drinks, fast WiFi, and power outlets (although some of the power outlets were blocked/covered).
(There used to be a cafe with the same name in Dongmen. I guess they had two branches before, although the two cafes feel very different.)
I don't go to Neihu very often, but this is definitely a cafe worth visiting. The interior feels quiet and cozy. There's a separate room with a large work table good for groups, and there are two cushioned floor seating areas that look very cozy. The main room has tables and counter seating. Fast WiFi, friendly staff, plenty of power outlets, and cheap drinks.
