A great hostel in Taichung that features a large co-working space area in the lobby. If you're planning to take a trip to Taichung then this is definitely a great place to stay. Even though there are many good working cafes nearby (see my other Taichung posts!), it's also nice to spend some time working at the hostel in the morning or evening. The facilities feel modern and very clean, there's fast WiFi throughout the hostel, and there's even a nice rooftop to enjoy if the weather is good.

It seems most cafes focus on coffee, however, this place is perfect for someone who appreciates tea. The selection is great, with many types of black, green, and herbal/fruit tea. Each tea comes with a detailed description, so you can easily spend some time deciding what you want to try. The tea set is proper and even comes with a tea brewing timer so you can brew your perfect cup. The staff will also come around offering to refill your tea with more hot water as needed.

The interior is feels spacious and bright, with high ceilings and large windows across two floors. The first floor is great for eating and socializing. However, if you prefer a quiet spot to yourself then you can go upstairs and sit by the large windows and enjoy the atmosphere.

For working, the background music was to my taste (a mix of lounge and electronic). The WiFi is definitely slow, but it was stable and worked during my entire stay. Also, most tables don't have access to power outlets, but at least the large work table does. It was quite noisy around lunch time, but the rest of the afternoon was very pleasant.

Not only is this a very work-friendly place, but the food is also fantastic, with many great choices and large portions. If you're looking for a place where you can sit and work all day without going somewhere else to get food, then this is definitely your place! It can get pretty busy though, so arrive before or after the weekday lunch rush to make sure you get a good seat.

The interior is very large with seating available on two floors. The large workable in the middle is quite comfortable. There are power outlets at nearly every seat (even in the floor under the large work table). However, the WiFi was extremely slow, so you'll probably need to use a mobile hotspot if you need reliable internet.

This Dreamers location actually feels more like a co-working space than a cafe. Huge spacious interior, with lots of seating areas across two floors. I especially like the counter seats on the second floor overlooking the first floor. As with other Dreamers locations, there are plenty of food and drink options available.

There are some unfortunate downsides though. The WiFi was basically unusable (extremely slow and unstable) and the restroom facilities are very basic (no soap provided). It's a shame, if it wasn't for these things, this place has the potential to be one of the best work spots in Taipei.

For those who don’t have an office, it’s a blessing to find a great location in a coffee shop, especially in such a cute little shop. People who have followed Cafe & Cowork for a while may have realized that I usually like to recommend cafes that are easier to reach, but if you are from Taiwan's main island like us, you must first get on a plane to visit Woo Life. I mean, why not? :)

Take the bus directly from the airport to the Shanwai Bus Station, and the cafe is right beside it. Or by car, you can park in the parking lot in front of the bus station.

I have a deep impression of Woo Life, as soon as I open the door, I know that today is the right time. The music is quiet, the light is full, and the seats facing a row of books is very appealing. There is also a large work table, so you can immediately imagine working here; and who doesn’t like the countertop in front of the large glass windows? I love to take a glance outside for a moment.

You already know the disadvantages, it's small and it's hard not to fill up such a good place. But if you have a week of traveling around Kinmen, Woo Life would be a good choice, so come early.

The coffee and desserts are excellent, good Wifi, and a few sockets (that's the lucky seat :))

This is indeed the case.

A quiet coffee shop near Yongkang Street. This cafe definitely focuses on coffee and their selection is very large. Even so, they also have a good selection of tea. The interior is quite simple, but feels modern and clean, and the seats are comfortable. If you need power you should get one of the tables by the walls.

This was a perfect work spot on a weekday morning. The counter seats are great, with plenty of power outlets, and the chairs are pretty good (not super comfortable, but not bad either). The piano/lounge background music is perfect for focusing. Large menu with food, drinks, and snacks; although the tea selection was a little small. It was very quiet in the morning but seemed to get busy around lunch time since they also serve food. I'll have to go back and try it in the afternoon as well sometime! More than anything, the service was fantastic and the staff was extremely welcoming!

A great cafe if you're looking for a place to have a proper brunch while also getting some work done. The interior feels modern and open with large windows all around letting in natural light. Two tables near the back wall have power outlets. The WiFi was a little slow, but it worked. The staff was very friendly and attentive.

A great place if you’re looking for a quiet spot on a weekday. Large interior, although the big room feels a little dark and lacks natural light. Good drink selection, including oatly as an option. There's also a small selection of snacks, the banana and hazelnut toast was really tasty, and perfect if you need a small snack. Some power outlets are available, and the WiFi is decent.

A small cafe with an extensive coffee selection, as well as some tea and food. The seating area is small, so if you arrive at a busy time you probably won't get a seat. Morning and late afternoon seem to be less busy. The interior is nice, with chessboard styled tables, and stained glass windows. Friendly staff, comfortable chairs, there are power outlets along the wall, and the WiFi was quite fast and stable. Definitely a comfortable place to work for a couple of hours, but not really suitable for extended stays.
