A flagship brew, a small creative bar and the park.
Huashan and the Xinsheng lanes make an easy coffee-and-culture outing. Simple Kaffa and Coffee Lab offer different scales of roaster-led café, while HAAYA in Syntrend adds a coffee-and-cake pause above the electronics floors.
Zhongxiao Xinsheng 忠孝新生 or Shandao Temple 善導寺5 considered coffee stops
Choose Simple Kaffa or Coffee Lab before exploring Huashan 1914 Creative Park. Cross toward Syntrend for HAAYA on the fourth floor, or head south to Coffee Sind for a contrasting drink.
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.
8, Ln. 56, Sec. 1, Xinsheng S. Rd., Taipei, Taiwan
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.
A small self-roasting café tucked south of Huashan, with a bean range that makes room for light, medium and deeper roasts. Choose it when you want to talk through everyday brewing preferences and leave with a bag you will actually use, rather than choosing by origin name alone.
OUR SUGGESTED ORDER
A single-origin hand brew matched to your preferred roast level, then the same beans for home.
Before you goThis is the Taipei Huashan café. The brand’s A7 roasting room is in Taoyuan and is a separate destination.
6, Ln. 64, Sec. 2, Zhongxiao E. Rd., Zhongzheng, Taipei, Taiwan
The Syntrend branch brings HAAYA’s own-roasted coffees into an electronics-and-design outing. Unlike its narrowly focused Dunhua North shop, this location offers a broader café visit with coffee, tea and handmade desserts, alongside retail beans.
OUR SUGGESTED ORDER
A hand brew with a slice of the day’s chiffon cake; browse the single-origin beans before leaving.
Before you goFind the café on Syntrend’s fourth floor. Opening arrangements follow the shopping complex; this is not the old Tianmu location.
4F, 2, Sec. 3, Civic Blvd., Zhongzheng, Taipei, Taiwan
