There are several Dreamers Coffee locations in Taipei, but this one near Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall is my favorite. They open at 7 every day, so it's a great place to work in the mornings, especially since it usually gets very busy after lunch. Good natural light thanks to the large windows all around. The large worktable (with power outlets) is great to work from. There are also power outlets by all the smaller tables. The WiFi works for basic browsing, but it's not super fast. Cheap drinks, but tea selection is slightly lacking in my opinion.
A small coffee shop with plenty of seating options and lots of natural light. It's not really the type of place I'd stay at for a longer period of time, especially since the seats are hard and there are no power outlets. But it has cheap drinks, friendly staff, and good WiFi, so it's definitely a decent option for a short work session if you're in the area.
A very cozy and trendy cafe near Chiang Kai-Shek memorial hall. They open early (7:30) so it's a great spot to get an early start to your day. There's an extensive selection of drinks and desserts. If you're a group then you'll want to arrive early to get the large worktable. For solo-working I like the counter-style seats along the wall, although the table space might be a little small if you have a larger laptop. There's power but you may need to unplug a lamp. The cafe usually gets quite busy, and the staff may impose a 3 hour time limit.
A small cafe located a little bit of a walk away from Houshanpi station. It's quiet and comfortable. There are a couple of small tables and window seats, both options suitable for working. The WiFi is decent, there are power outlets, and reasonably priced drinks and snacks are available. I've tried the oolong tea and the breakfast plate, both were tasty.
A large spacious cafe (also art space / rental venue) with several large work tables, counter seats, and sofa area. Large windows with good natural lighting. Good food and decent drink selection. Fast WiFi, but not very many tables have power outlets unfortunately. Pretty empty and quiet on a weekday so definitely a nice place to sit and get some work done at.
A quirky name and an odd description ("bar restaurant furniture store"). Despite this, it is in fact very work friendly and definitely worth visiting. The interior is rustic, filled with vintage and antique furniture. The atmosphere is calm, noise level is good, and it doesn't get very crowded throughout the day. The environment is clean and the space is quite large with multiple seating areas, including several large worktables. Most seats near the walls have power outlets. Friendly and very attentive staff.
The two main drawbacks are WiFi and price. The WiFi is usually very slow and difficult to use (even for light browsing). I find myself always using a mobile hotspot instead. Food and drinks are definitely on the pricey side. The quality is good, but the value is perhaps a little low. Also, some seats right under the AC can get a little cold.
Great atmosphere/vibe. Lots of plants and nice decorations. Peaceful music. Friendly staff. The first floor seating area has one large worktable and a couple of smaller tables. The second floor is quite large and has a lot more seats. Not very busy on a weekday. WiFi was stable but a little slow.
A huge coworking space, which is completely free to use! Good opening hours, fast WiFi, and lots of power outlets. It's quiet and comfortable, with plenty of seating areas (with proper desk chairs). There's a convenience store and a cafeteria available inside the building as well, so you can easily grab lunch without having to go somewhere else. Don't forget to try the indoor slide!
A really cool place in Shibuya. It started out as a maker space (with 3D printers, laser cutters, and more), and then they added a café as well. I haven’t tried the food, but they have some nice drinks. Their ginger ale is awesome (real ginger!). Plenty of power outlets. If you ask for it they’ll help you out with an extension cord, if needed. Good WiFi, never had any issues.
Note that there is a 90 minute time-limit per drink order on weekends!
