這是一家空間不大但有很多咖啡和茶飲選擇的咖啡店,座位區基本上不大,在尖峰時段不太容易找到位置,感覺上一大早和傍晚比較空。室內陳設很雅緻,特別是幾張西洋棋面的桌子剛好搭上最近后翼棄兵的熱潮,令人感覺萬分親切,花窗玻璃也是台灣少見的設計,很有故事感。
這裡也有親切的店員、舒適的座位,牆面也都有插座,WiFi快速且穩定,或許不適合在這裡工作一整天,但只要能找到座位絕對會想待上一陣子。
This Starbucks is right in front of the beach and you can see the ocean from the seat inside. There are a couple of seats with outlets but not all of them. Also, the bathroom was out of service. WiFi password is just shown on the counter so easy to connect and no issue of signing in to use like they do in other countries.
This cafe is run by Syra coffee, which is a popular chain of cafe in Spain. The building is a coworking space / startup community called itnig, but the cafe is open to public with a plenty of seats. The WiFi is workable but not the fastest. Also, there are not so many comfortable seats to sit for the entire day, especially if you're alone. If you can't get the table seats, you only get the high stools or the weird mattress seats. There's not many power outlets as well. Also, in the after noon, the sun light gets bit too much and can get quite hot inside.
A trendy cafe in Gastown. I arrived just before 9 on a weekday and it was already quiet busy. I've noticed that cafes open early and close early, so I guess the cafe-worker crowd follows the same schedule. The cafe actually has two entrances, one from Powell St and one from Alexander St. There's a small seating on one side, and a much larger room on the other side.
The interior feels trendy, but I wouldn't say it was very comfortable. As the place was quite busy it was a little noisy as well. Good for a morning work session, but not really the type of place I'd hang out at for a longer period of time.
This place is located right next to the Urquinaona station. Has some seats for couples, but also there are sofa seats by the wall with some power outlets. If you can secure one of those seats, you're good for the entire day. This Buenas Migas has a larger selections of food other than focaccia as well, such as salads and some pastries. Just be careful how concentrated you get because while I was staying there, someone snuck beside us and try to snatch the phone on the table. We noticed and he ran away but just beware of your surroundings!
Small cozy cafe in Kaohsiung, near Central Park. I would say it's a fairly comfortable place to work. It was a little hot inside though (I don't think the AC was on). Food was ok, but I would have preferred a simple toast or pastry without the other side dishes. Good wifi, few power outlets.
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。
