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.

"Enjoy cafe" recently took over the same location that "vojago" used to use. You can still see some traces from vojago, including most of the same furniture and the logo on the wall. The interior is still quite nice with lots of seats available inside. It is also good for working outside, although the street noise (loud scooters driving by) can be a little distracting. They have a large menu serving coffee, tea, sandwiches and other snacks. Enjoy cafe is definitely much cheaper than vojago, but the WiFi is much slower unfortunately (only suitable for light surfing).

A great new Starbucks branch by Houshanpi MRT station. There are two floors, with the second featuring plenty of comfortable seating, a large work table, and even an outdoor balcony. The balcony unfortunately seems to be closed during the winter months though. The second floor is usually very quiet with most people working or studying. Weekdays, especially mornings, aren't too busy. Lots of power outlets and solid WiFi.

A great cafe/bookstore in Dumbo. When you enter it looks like a shop, but keep going in and you'll find a cafe selling delicious authentic Japanese lunch dishes, and a decent selection of tea and coffee.

The space is a lot bigger than I initially thought. There are lots of different seating areas, but I prefer the large table and counter seats by the entrance, where you get a lot of natural light.

The WiFi is good and there are some power outlets along the walls. The cafe was mostly very quiet, with only a couple of people sitting and reading or working on laptops. Lunch time got a little busy, but mostly people getting takeout lunch.

Overall a fantastic place to sit and get work done. It's definitely the type of place I could sit and work all day, especially since you can get a great lunch as well!

Easily one of my new favorite cafe work spots in NYC. Silver Light Tavern is a bar/restaurant, however, during the day they open their space for a small cafe. The interior looks really cool, featuring dark colors and lots of natural light, giving a very cool vibe.

It wasn't busy on a weekday so we could easily get a large table for ourselves. The booth seating is super comfortable, idle for some laptop work. Every table also has power and the WiFi is very fast. There's a decent selection of pastries, cooked food, tea and coffee. So if you want to stop by for lunch that's an option as well. Also worth mentioning, the staff was very friendly and welcoming!

A small coffee shop right by the river in Williamsburg. It's mostly a takeout place, but there are some nice counter seats with views overlooking lower manhattan and brooklyn bridge. There's coffee, snacks, ice cream, good WiFi, and lots of power outlets. A great spot for getting some work done for a couple of hours on a weekday.

There is a restroom, although it was unavailable during my visit.
