Taipei coffee crawl
A walkable weekend of roasters, filter bars, and the shops that pour Taiwanese beans.
Zhongshan → Da'an → Songshan
DAY 01
Zhongshan, north to south
08:30
Fika Fika
Start with the espresso, then the filter of the week.
12:00
Slow Morning
No calls, no music. A good place to read for an hour.
16:00
Coffee Sweet
Siphon bar and a notebook of every Taiwanese lot.
DAY 02
Da'an to Songshan
10:00
Rufous
Nine seats. If it is full, come back at two.
13:30
Corner Sit
The bench by the window is the seat you want.
17:00
Roastworks
Three drums running; ask what came off this week.
Two days, nine cafés, and about eleven kilometres on foot. The MRT is faster but the walk is the point.
Start early. The good rooms are quiet before eleven and full by three.
