Taiwan coffee and roaster destinations worth the trip.
Tianmu is a full northern neighborhood outing, not a small extension of downtown. Goodman and Oasis put beans at the center of the visit; All Day offers the option of a meal and a more flexible café pause.

MAKE AN AFTERNOON OF IT
Start at Goodman on Tianyu Street and choose Oasis Roasting Lab for a second tasting. All Day on Zhongcheng Road is the food stop farther east. Use a local bus or taxi between pockets, especially in heat or rain.
Goodman makes a strong case for travelling north: its engagement with Taiwan-grown Alishan coffee is central to the roaster’s story. The residential Tianyu Street address suits a deliberate cup and a bean purchase, followed by exploring Tianmu on its own terms.
OUR SUGGESTED ORDER
Ask which Taiwan-grown coffee is being brewed, especially the current Alishan selection.
Before you goPlan a bus or taxi connection into Tianmu from the MRT. This is not a short extension of the central Da’an coffee walk.
All Day’s Tianmu branch makes the northern coffee itinerary easier for a mixed group. Keep Goodman or Oasis for a tasting-focused stop and choose this address when food is part of the plan. The brand’s light-roast program still gives coffee drinkers a reason to pay attention.
OUR SUGGESTED ORDER
A hand brew or latte with a meal from the branch menu.
Before you goTianmu is spread out. Use local transport between this Zhongcheng Road address and the Tianyu Street roasters if the weather is hot or wet.
The roasting-lab branch makes sense when a Tianmu day is built around coffee itself. Pair it with Goodman on a separate cup, or focus on one place and spend time discussing the available beans. The northern address is part of the appeal, not a quick city-center detour.
OUR SUGGESTED ORDER
A filter coffee and a look at the current retail bean selection.
Before you goCheck the official lab schedule before travelling; its opening pattern differs from the two central Oasis cafés.
