The second and much bigger Second Space, opened in May 2026 on Qixian 1st Road. Same 24/7 self-service model as the Central Park branch — you sign up in the app, register your face, and the door lets you in at any hour. No staff, no cash, and payment is card or LINE Pay only.
The ground floor is a takeaway coffee counter, so the entire working space is the second floor and none of the cafe noise reaches it. Upstairs you get open coworking seating, dedicated desks, three phone booths and a meeting room — all with noise-cancelling walls — plus an event room with a large projector that doubles as a podcast recording space. Total occupancy is 45. Everything is included in the entrance fee with no paid add-ons, which is genuinely unusual for a day-pass space; booths and meeting rooms are normally metered elsewhere.
WiFi is 500 Mbps on Wi-Fi 7, and there are monitors at the desks. Big windows keep it bright, though the view is just a busy road rather than anything scenic. Food is the weak spot — coffee and snacks downstairs, no kitchen — but there's a 7-Eleven and a Starbucks right next door, and the Liuhe night market is about ten minutes away.
At NT$400/day it's noticeably pricier than the NT$250 Central Park branch, though the booths, meeting room and event space come with it rather than on top. Nearest MRT is Xinyi Elementary School (orange line), about a 6-minute walk; Formosa Boulevard is around 10.
A small cafe near Nangang Expo. The wooden floors and thoughtful interior gives it a very cozy and homey feel. The seats are comfortable and the counter is good for standing as well. The wifi is good and if you need power then there are lots of outlets hidden under the countertop. The menu selection is perhaps a little small. The tea was good, but quite small considering the price. The best thing about this cafe was that it never got very crowded or noisy throughout the day on a weekday.
A hidden gem near Guting MRT. The easiest way to access the cafe is to walk through the market area near Exit 4. The cafe itself has a very creatively decorated interior. I especially like the small details like the small plants in the tables. There's also a large outdoor seating area and apparently an art gallery as well. The best thing is that it was very quiet and very few people during the entire afternoon on a weekday, great for getting some focused work done. There's WiFi, power outlets, and a large menu with lots of tea. Furthermore the staff was very friendly and welcoming!
Another great place to work in Sapporo. Long opening hours, fast wifi, power outlets, quiet and comfortable environment. Really nothing to complain about.
Located on the ground floor of a building on the corner. Not the best view but has a big window to take a lot of lights in. Most of the seats have plugs.
A large spacious Tullys featuring two large worktables and plenty of small tables. Fast WiFi and power outlets everywhere. Usually pretty empty and quiet, so it's easy to get a seat.
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.
This is a un-staffed, vending machine based, 24h operating "cafe" that is meant for people to get stuff done. As long as you buy an expensive vending machine coffee for like 450 yen, you'll earn the right to stay there as long as you want. It's like a cheap airport lounge. The space is good, the chairs are comfy, lots of people working or studying, and the view out the window looking over the river is better than looking at a busy street. WiFi was decent, potentially an easy go-to especially early in the morning or later in the evenings. They say no food allowed from outside, not sure how they impose that though 🤷♀️
