A very interesting spot in Kita-Senju. It's about a 10 minute walk from the station. Apparently this is an old abandoned bowling alley that has been converted to an art space and cafe/bar. I was there on a friday afternoon and it very quiet, just a couple people chatting or working on their laptops.
A cafe / bar / restaurant in Uluwatu. It is playing heavy music + the road facing towards is a main road that goes through Uluwatu so there's quite a lot of trafic you can hear. There are plug on most of the seats. I just got lots of mosquito bites, which might be my fault but I'll reduce the comfort point for that. It's a typical no-wall establishment so there's not much we can do but I got like 20 bites in an hour 🥺
It's a 24/7 co-working space right outside Central Park MRT (Exit 3). The operation model is a little bit different from other places as it's fully self service - it has facial recognitional access control so you sign up via app and take a photo of your face to register. They are aiming to become the community space for creators in tech and design industry with workshops, networking events and tech talks. Payments are all online, so Credit Cards, LINE Pay, Google Pay and even Cryptocurrency - no cash though.
They do not provide meals (only snacks and drinks) but there is an affordable restaurant 20 meters away.
500Mbps Wi-Fi, modern furniture, large mirror walls for brainstorming, beanbags and 24/7 access for NT180/day is a good deal!
A very popular coffee shop in Williamsburg. I've tried going several times to work but it's always been full. If you want a seat, be sure to arrive early (ideally before 9). Also, be prepared to queue up for ordering. The coffee was very good, and the tea was nice, but the cup size was very small (not sure if they do water refills). There are some snacks as well.
The interior is spacious, bright, and has a nice vibe. Even though it fills up very quickly it never got noisy. Plenty of power outlets along the wall side seats, and the WiFi is very fast (180+ Mbps).
A great cafe near Kunyang MRT, just a short 10 minute walk from the station. Although this at first might feel more like a restaurant it is definitely very workable on a weekday. I would recommend coming here for brunch or lunch and trying some of the great dishes, then working the rest of the day. I particularly like the counter seats by the windows, which looked like a nice spot to sit and work from. The WiFi is good and there are lots of power outlets. The cafe feels bright and modern, but it was a little noisy at times (people talking and slightly too loud music).
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.
