A popular lunch/brunch cafe near Dongmen station. During midday it can be a little busy/noisy. However, the afternoon was definitely quieter and made for a comfortable space to work from. The menu is large, with many food and drink options. There's WiFi, but it was very unstable during my visit. Also note that there is a 2 hour time limit during weekends.
This cafe has been on my list for a long time after a friend recommended it to me. It's definitely a great place to work. I arrived on a weekday afternoon and it was almost full, only one table available. Even so, it was very quiet since everyone was either working or studying. The interior is quite small, but the space is comfortable and has plenty of natural light. There's a good selection of drinks and cakes, I tried the oolong tea cheesecake, which was very tasty!
Another great cafe near Nanjing Fuxing station. The interior is quite large and has a nice modern vibe. There are several seating areas, and one large worktable suitable for working with a group of people. Very fast WiFi, power outlets, and decent selection of food and drinks. I can definitely recommend trying the German pork sandwich with Sourdough bread.
A great cafe/restaurant in Banqiao, just across from the New Taipei City Hall building. The highlight for me was definitely the owner's cute and friendly dog that will come and greet you when you arrive! For working there are comfortable seats, power, and WiFi. The menu is quite large, offering drinks and a large selection of food as well. The afternoon was fairly empty/quiet, but around dinner time it started to fill up (I guess lunch time will also be a little busy).
A tiny cafe just around the corner from Zhongxiao Fuxing MRT station. There are just a couple of small tables inside, and the only table available during my visit was a small table tucked into one of the corners. It was fine, but not the best place to sit and try to do some work. In such a small space, it can easily get quite noisy as well, with some people talking and other's chatting on the phone, and people coming and going for take out orders.
I guess working isn't really the point here though. The main highlight here is the cheap drinks and the tasty and Vietnamese banh mi, which makes for a great lunch.
As soon as I stepped into this cafe I knew it would become a new favorite. The interior is simple but still has a very unique vibe. It was quite busy on a weekday afternoon, but still very quiet, making it a great place to get some work done. Luckily for me there was still some tables left that I could grab. The menu is large, offering desserts and small snacks, however the main highlight is definitely the huge selection of tea. You'll definitely find something interesting to try!
