A flagship brew, a small creative bar and the park.
The lanes around Huashan make one of Taipei’s easiest coffee-and-culture outings. A large destination café, a small street-side bar and a food-friendly stop offer different ways to fit coffee around the creative park.

MAKE AN AFTERNOON OF IT
Start at Simple Kaffa’s flagship, visit Huashan 1914 Creative Park, then choose Coffee Sind south of the station for a contrasting drink. Simple Joy on Songjiang Road is a food-and-coffee alternative north of the park.
Make this your destination cup beside Huashan: a roaster-led flagship where the brew bar and changing single-origin list justify slowing down. It suits a deliberate tasting stop before the creative park, especially if you want to compare a carefully brewed black coffee with beans to take home.
OUR SUGGESTED ORDER
A single-origin hand brew from the current list; ask which Taiwan-grown coffee is available.
Before you goUse the Huashan flagship address. The old Hotel V location in early articles is a different, former premises.
Coffee Sind turns a small street-side space into an expressive coffee stop. Its signature-drink approach draws on local ideas and ingredients, making it a useful contrast to a formal single-origin tasting. Come for a short, curious pause in the Xinsheng lanes.
OUR SUGGESTED ORDER
Ask about the current signature coffee; choose a standard espresso drink if you prefer a familiar starting point.
Before you goThink small street-side coffee stop rather than a large café room. Find Lane 56 south of Zhongxiao Xinsheng station.

Simple Joy brings Woolloomooloo’s coffee-and-food approach to Songjiang Road. It works as a practical pause on the north side of the Huashan area, particularly if you want a familiar milk coffee and something to eat before returning to the smaller coffee bars.
OUR SUGGESTED ORDER
A latte or flat white with a food item from the branch menu.
Before you goUse the Songjiang Road shop at number 56; the Xinyi and Fujin branches are separate locations.
