We all know that the quality of our work environment is closely linked to our work state and outcomes. In a work environment with many distractions, producing high-quality results takes a lot of work. Some digital nomads rent 'co-working spaces,' while others prefer working in cafes, enjoying a relaxing, focused, and unique atmosphere.

However, only some cafes are suitable for work. Some have few power outlets, others impose a two-hour time limit, and some don't accept reservations, often leading to the frustrating situation of arriving and finding no available seats and then having to spend time and energy searching for another cafe.

In this article, the editor of Digital Nomad will reveal four favorite cafes in Taipei where you can make reservations, find plenty of power outlets, enjoy stable internet and without time limits. Each has its unique features, and who knows, maybe you'll find your favorite among them!

1. Joco Latte

At the bustling intersection of Minsheng East Road and Fuxing North Road, hidden on the ground floor of a building, there lies a discreet industrial-style coffee shop named Joco Latte.

Inside the cafe, not only can you find freshly ground and brewed coffee and excellent Taiwanese teas, but also a variety of chocolate beverages that are relatively rare in other shops, such as 72% from Venezuela, 70% from Santo Domingo, and 70% from Tanzania.

If you're looking for a special cafe with a variety of food choices, and a quiet atmosphere, you definitely shouldn't miss Joco Latte!

2. Triangle Garden Cafe

If you're more enchanted by old houses and woodworking than the industrial style, then Triangle Garden Cafe may be more to your taste. In addition to essential work amenities like power outlets and Wi-Fi, the owner has lovingly curated a unique environment.

Coupled with a diverse selection of food options that rival the previous cafe (offering coffee, tea, honey-based drinks, and a variety of homemade desserts), it's sure to provide a tranquil and cozy atmosphere for all the working patrons, allowing them to maintain a sense of calm while staying focused.

3. Youmoutoohana Coffee

Located in the convenient Dongmen shopping district, Youmoutoohana Coffee is also one of the coffee shops suitable for digital nomad to work.

The environment is bright, and with most customers being students quietly using laptops or reading, it often feels like you're in a library. If you're the type of digital nomad who benefits from a more structured environment, why not pay a visit to see if this place is your hidden gem of a cafe, where you can focus without the same level of restraint as in a library!

4. Sugar Man Cafe

"The coffee shops above are good, but they don’t match my daily routine!" If you are a night owl type of digital nomad, who likes to sleep in and then work all the way into the night, then you must not miss the Sugar Man Cafe located near Guting Station.

In addition to its most significant feature of staying open until 4 am, the shop also offers dumplings and Japanese-style fried noodles that are well-known to regulars, allowing you to easily satisfy your hunger and continue working, without the need to run around just to fill your stomach.
