A nice café to work if you need to be in the att4fun area. Especially the specialty coffee and desserts (soft serve ice cream and waffles!!) are great.
The top area is reserved for working, while the lower area is meant for more casual coffee drinking. This also means that plugs are only available at the top area (available for every other seat with USB and normal outlets). WiFi is pretty average, as you use the public A13 Guest wifi, view and toilet are rated low, as there is only the public toilet available and the "view" is simply the mall - which is great for people watching, but not much more.
An interesting cafe with a curious mix of french music and Star Wars decorations. The interior feels modern and spacious with a small seating area downstairs and a much larger seating area on the second floor. Lots of power outlets, but unfortunately none at the large worktables. WiFi was decent, but felt a little slow when it got busier. During the winter months the upstairs area felt quite cold.
A great little cafe near Yongchun MRT that is open late (until 23:30). It was surprisingly busy late on a weekday, almost full with people studying, working, or chatting. Nice modern interior and very comfortable chairs. There are some power outlets along the walls, the WiFi worked but was a little slow. Good drinks selection, with plenty of non-caffeine options for late night work, and the desserts/waffles looked very good.
A popular cafe near NTNU. On a weekday afternoon it was very busy full with many people studying or working. It has a cool vibe and good relaxing music selection, but it felt too cramped/crowded. Another downside is that the menu is surprisingly limited (especially if you don't want to drink coffee). The WiFi was very slow and difficult to connect to, and one of the power outlets by my table wasn't working.
The unique interior style and extensive menu is definitely the highlight here. The food options sound really good and the drinks menu has a little bit of everything (tea, coffee, sodas, cocktails). There are a couple of large worktables, some smaller tables, and a lot of counter seating (good if you want to work standing up). There are some drawbacks for working though. The seats are not particularly comfortable though (hard wooden chairs). Some power outlets scattered around, but there was no WiFi unfortunately.
There used to be a Starbucks on the 35F of Taipei 101, open to the public, but required a reservation. There was also a strict minimum spend of 250 NTD and a 90 minute time limit. I had a chance to test it before they closed the Starbucks during the end of 2020 (maybe it will open again in the future?)
You need to call and make a reservation, at least 1 day before. Arrive at Taipei 101 around 10 minutes before you reservation and then a staff member will escort you up to the 35F. The Starbucks itself is very small. There are mostly counter seats along the windows with good views, as well as some smaller tables. There was only 1 power outlet but it wasn't near any of the windows. The WiFi was unfortunately quite slow as well.
A fun experience, but perhaps not the most workable place in Taipei.
A very nice looking cafe located in an old traditional building which looks really nice from the outside. The interior feels quite cozy, with both counter seats and tables. It was very quiet in the morning but got quite busy around lunch. Most seats seem to have access to power and the WiFi was quite fast. They have an extensive drinks and food menu.
A simple cafe near Taipei Arena. The interior and furniture is fairly ordinary, but there are some nice personal touches, like paintings, magazines, and a fish tank. It's clean and the staff was friendly. Decent WiFi, but lacking power outlets. I saw one table near the back wall that has access to power. Nice drinks selection and the food options seem pretty good as well, so it might be a good cafe to have lunch at.
A nice, small cafe near Yongkang Street. The interior feels modern and has a relaxing atmosphere. It was not very busy throughout the day on a weekday. The WiFi is great, and there are some power outlets along the left side wall, but none at the larger table. I would recommend the "Happy Hour" coffee/tea + cake set for 330. Both the tea and the tiramisu that I ordered were good.
