除了「咖啡覺醒」以外,我也拜訪了路易莎咖啡在港口棧二倉庫的分店,這間店從西子灣捷運站走去約要十到十五分鐘的時間,在酷熱的高雄天氣下需要有點勇氣,不過絕對值得!從一樓進去時會覺得平凡無奇,但上到二樓就會找到一個非~~~非~~~常大的座位區(住台北住久了,有時候會忘了咖啡廳是可以很大的!),面對海邊的座位看起來太愜意浪漫了,尤其是下午可以一邊看夕陽一邊工作,可以紓解一些壓力(雖然太陽照下來可能會太過強烈),西子灣燒得紅通通的落日真的名不虛傳,邊工作邊等夕陽也是別有一番風味。而雖然這裡有非常多的座位,但待了兩三小時卻發現意外的安靜,且座位上都有插座,使用起來非常便利,因此也看到一些學生在這裡用平板上網課和讀書,感覺是學生的熱門讀書據點。
當然它也有一些小缺點,WiFi非常慢且不穩定(時常斷掉),然後廁所實在非常遠,是位在整個大倉庫的盡頭,如果一個人前來可能會有點擔心筆電和貴重物品留在原位,會有點煩躁,但整體來說瑕不掩瑜。
高雄真的是一個好地方。
某天傍晚我在忠孝復興附近的時候剛好有一小段空檔,於是就在這裡找到了「慢步調」(Slow Pace Cafe),從忠孝復興站一號出口出來只要走一小段時間就能抵達,平日晚上看起來非常悠閒,只有一個客人在這裡。當你走進店裡時,主人的狗狗會很開心的叫著歡迎你,非常可愛,儘管牠寸步不離自己舒服的沙發,看起來那是牠的固定寶座!
慢步調的室內空間讓人感覺舒適,也有著溫暖的光線和不錯的座位,Menu看上去很充實,有很多常見的飲品可以選。我點了英式草餐茶,是用一個很大的杯子送來的,只可惜當天我只有一個小時的時間待著,沒辦法把它喝完。
我想我下次還會去看看主人的狗在不在 :)
「享咖啡」最近取代了原址上的「Vojago味旅」,在這裡你仍可以看到一些味旅的痕跡,包含幾乎保持原樣的家具和牆上的Logo,裝潢和以前一樣典雅,也有很多座位的選擇,同時也很適合在它的室外空間工作,儘管必須去面對一些街上的噪音(像是飛馳而過的機車聲)。享咖啡有很豐富的Menu,包含茶、咖啡和三明治及其他小點,價格比以前的味旅要來得便宜,只可惜WiFi就比較慢了(只能做一些簡單的網頁瀏覽)。
星巴克近期在捷運後山埤捷運站拓點了!在二號出口附近,地理位置非常方便,這是一間非常適合工作的分店,有兩層樓,二樓有不少座位、工作桌、甚至還有一個陽台,可惜這個陽台冬天好像會關閉。二樓在假日經常客滿,許多人在這裡讀書工作,通常滿安靜的,平日早上通常滿空的,除此之外這裡也有很好的插座和Wifi。
A great cafe/bookstore in Dumbo. When you enter it looks like a shop, but keep going in and you'll find a cafe selling delicious authentic Japanese lunch dishes, and a decent selection of tea and coffee.
The space is a lot bigger than I initially thought. There are lots of different seating areas, but I prefer the large table and counter seats by the entrance, where you get a lot of natural light.
The WiFi is good and there are some power outlets along the walls. The cafe was mostly very quiet, with only a couple of people sitting and reading or working on laptops. Lunch time got a little busy, but mostly people getting takeout lunch.
Overall a fantastic place to sit and get work done. It's definitely the type of place I could sit and work all day, especially since you can get a great lunch as well!
Easily one of my new favorite cafe work spots in NYC. Silver Light Tavern is a bar/restaurant, however, during the day they open their space for a small cafe. The interior looks really cool, featuring dark colors and lots of natural light, giving a very cool vibe.
It wasn't busy on a weekday so we could easily get a large table for ourselves. The booth seating is super comfortable, idle for some laptop work. Every table also has power and the WiFi is very fast. There's a decent selection of pastries, cooked food, tea and coffee. So if you want to stop by for lunch that's an option as well. Also worth mentioning, the staff was very friendly and welcoming!
A small coffee shop right by the river in Williamsburg. It's mostly a takeout place, but there are some nice counter seats with views overlooking lower manhattan and brooklyn bridge. There's coffee, snacks, ice cream, good WiFi, and lots of power outlets. A great spot for getting some work done for a couple of hours on a weekday.
There is a restroom, although it was unavailable during my visit.
I usually don't find Blue Bottle Coffee to be especially comfortable to work from. However, this location has comfortable cushioned seats along the walls by the windows, good enough to sit and work for a couple of hours.
On a weekday morning it was quiet and not very busy, although I imagine it might get busy around lunch time or in the afternoon. There are plenty of power outlets, although the large worktables in the middle don't have any. The WiFi is a little slow, but it works.
(The restroom sink and toilet flush was broken during my visit. Hopefully that was just a temporary issue though...)
