A small and cozy coffee shop near Ginza station. There are counter style seats and some small tables (really only suitable for 1 person per table). The counter seats have power. Menu selection is quite small. There's coffee, but no regular caffine tea (only herbal or tea latte). The cookies are really good!
A small but cozy spot near Jiyugaoka station. It's located on the 3rd floor of the building with the 7-11. Take the elevator up. The space has a large work table, some small tables, and outdoor seating. Lots of natural light. There's a 2 hour time limit. I don't think there are any power outlets (at least I didn't see any).
There are many great cafes around Zhongshan MRT, but most of them get very busy, even on weekdays. Recently I discovered Cafe a la mode, which was a quiet and less busy place to spend the afternoon working from. The interior feels bright and modern, and there are plenty of seats to choose from, including one large work table suitable for larger groups. There's decent WiFi, some power outlets, and comfortable chairs. The food menu is quite large, so it's probably a good place to have lunch or dinner as well, while getting some work done!
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 great place for both indoor and outdoor working. The cafe is a popular spot for studying and working, but it is large so you can still find a seat most of the time. Fast WiFi, but power outlets are a bit difficult to find. I would say the biggest downside is that they close quite early.
A small coffee shop not too far from Kinshicho station. There's a conference room that can be rented for a fee.
I spent a day exploring Kita-Senju and this was my first stop. A large cafe not too far from the station. Very friendly staff. Unfortunately the menu doesn't have any tea. The walnut banana bread was very good. Excellent WiFi, but I didn't really see any power outlets (at least not at the large tables).
A very small coffee shop not too far from Kichijoji station. I was there on a weekday after lunch and it was empty (I was the only one there), which felt a bit awkward for being such a small space. Also, it doesn't seem like they have any real AC (just a small portable AC unit), so it was really hot and uncomfortable inside during the summer. There's no WiFi either, but I was able to pick up the LACOSTE-GUEST WiFi, which worked pretty well. Menu was fairly limited in terms of coffee alternatives.
A cafe with delicious pastries and comfy counter seats. The WiFi was a bit slow, but still usable. I was able to take a call as well without much issues.
