A small cozy cafe. There's supposedly a cat, but I've been here twice and never seen it. Several seating options available but none are particularly comfortable for extended stays due to the hard seats. Friendly staff and students can enjoy a small discount. It gets quite busy and a little noisy (even in the mornings). Even so, it's a great option for those that want to get an early start since they open at 7:30 on weekdays!
A great workspace near Samseong station. Just register online and pickup your badge in the reception. Good hours, fast wifi, comfortable chairs, quiet environment. Popular, but you can always find a free seat. The large work table (best seats imo) usually fills up quite fast. No cafe inside but there are two coffee shops in the building and a Coffee Bean one block away.
Nice co-working space. Good wifi, lots of power outlets, many seating areas (including work tables with proper office chairs). Monthly membership gives you access to all JustCo locations. 2 month deposit required, credit card not accepted unfortunately.
Decent cafe to sit and work at. When I arrived after lunch it was already very busy, so I guess it's good to arrive early. The second floor is definitely the best place to sit. Plenty of seating areas and lots of natural light. It can be a little noisy at peak times. The food menu is quite extensive but I didn't try any food. Lots of drink options but no regular plain black tea (only milk tea and non-caffeine tea). That was a little disappointing. I tried the chocolate banana shake instead, which was really good though. Fast WiFi and power outlets on the floor.
A fairly new co-working space close to Taipei City Hall. The interior is nice and well designed with plenty of natural light. There are several large worktables for flex members. As a flex member you pay a very reasonable price per day that you visit, rather than a fixed monthly fee. Day passes are sold in batches of 10. Tea/coffee is included. Great WiFi and plenty of power outlets. There's also a meeting room, phone booth, and several other seating areas for relaxing and taking phone calls. All the staff members are extremely friendly!
A popular retro-style cafe near Taipei 101. They open at 7:30 on weekdays so it's great if you need to get an early start to your day. It's ideal for studying or working for a long time since the seating is very comfortable and there is power everywhere. The WiFi is however not the best and can be quite slow at times. Drink selection is decent (tea could be better), and it's very cheap (55 NT$ for a tea).
A great cafe near Zhongxiao Dunhua. Take the entrance up to the second floor. The interior is bright and modern. I particularly like the counter seats by the windows. The WiFi is extremely fast (350 Mb/s) and there are power outlets by some seats. The menu is not really to my taste, but there are some "ok" drink options. Good to arrive early since it tends to fill up in the afternoon.
