A new cafe (where Foliage cafe used to be). The interior is quite simple, but clean. Drinks where just alright, but the toast was really good! There's a 2 hour time limit, however, the staff didn't enforce it on a weekday afternoon when the cafe was empty.
A very unique cafe, and probably one of the quirkiest cafes in Taipei. Each floor has a different style with lots of different seating options depending on what you're looking for. The top floor even has an indoor slide! The WiFi is ok, but could be better. Most seats have access to power, and the menu selection is really good (this oromo location offers food, whereas the other locations don't). This is definitely a cafe you have to visit at least once in Taipei!
A small specialty coffee shop near Yongchun. The interior feels modern and bright thanks to the large windows. On a weekend afternoon it was fairly quiet, but slowly started to fill up later in the afternoon. It was quiet though, with most people just working or studying. Even though coffee is the main focus here they still serve a very good Taiwanese black tea. Note that there is a 2 hour time limit (if you order another drink you can extend your time).
Located on the 2F of the Shibuya AXSH office building. The seating area is quite large, including a large worktable by the entrance.
Located on the top floor of Shibuya Parco, by the office tower entrance. Good for working as it is normally fairly quiet. Good WiFi, but no power outlets. It can get a bit crowded around lunch time.
A newly opened location just next to Yoyogi-Hachiman station. There are only 4 small tables, which are suitable for working, and the rest of the seating doesn't have tables. There is fast WiFi, no power outlets.
I'm always on the lookout for good workable cafes near Zhongshan station. Most cafes always seem to be very busy and have a restaurant vibe, rather than a coffee shop. While this place, L'après Midi Cafe, doesn't really look or feel very special, it was at least very quite on a weekday afternoon. There's a decent selection of drinks, fast WiFi, and power outlets (although some of the power outlets were blocked/covered).
(There used to be a cafe with the same name in Dongmen. I guess they had two branches before, although the two cafes feel very different.)
A very small spot, with only a couple of counter bar seats that are particularly suitable for working. On a weekend afternoon it was surprisingly not very busy. There was a sign saying "no working remotely" but I asked the staff it was ok to use my laptop and they said it was. Beverage options are very focused on coffee (not plain ice or hot tea offered).
Walkable from Nakameguro station, but closer to Ikejiri-ohashi. Quite busy on a weekday around lunch time. Nice interior, but the large table felt a bit cramped when it was full. There was a sign about a 90 minute time limit (when busy).
