Every room, checked.

A six-seat bar opposite the station, built for people with twenty minutes.

Two bars under one roof: espresso at the front, filter at the back.

Small, warm, and serious about filter. Seats are limited; go early or go on a weekday.

A corner shop under the trees on Fuyuan Street, with four outdoor tables.

A neighbourhood room near the hospital, used by staff on shift and students after class.

A tiny counter with a rotating guest-bean list. Come for the Taiwanese lots and stay for the cheesecake.

A glass box on a corner, hot in summer, perfect in December.

Six tables, one long bench, and a menu that fits on a postcard.

A dark room with leather booths, open until two, serving coffee and nothing else.
