This selection follows Xinyi’s quieter lanes between the City Hall side and Yongchun. The two established roasters are an invitation to explore everyday streets beyond the main retail district.
Yongchun 永春 or Taipei City Hall 市政府2 considered coffee stops
MAKE AN AFTERNOON OF IT
Choose Zhanlu near City Hall or Wenshan deeper in the Yongchun lanes as your anchor. Walk between them only if you want a longer residential outing; the blue MRT line provides an easy shortcut.
Slip out of Xinyi’s main shopping streets for this lane-based Zhanlu branch. It suits visitors who want coffee and a look at residential Xinyi, with the city’s bigger attractions still close enough to fold into the day.
OUR SUGGESTED ORDER
A single-origin brew, with roast preference discussed before ordering.
Before you goFollow Lane 553 and Alley 6 from Zhongxiao East Road; the main-road address alone will not take you to the door.
4, Aly. 6, Ln. 553, Sec. 4, Zhongxiao E. Rd., Taipei, Taiwan
The Yongchun branch takes Wenshan’s roasting program into residential Xinyi. It is a good fit when you would rather explore small streets than stay inside the malls, with beans to bring home after a chosen cup.
OUR SUGGESTED ORDER
A brewed single origin or a milk coffee using the house blend.
Before you goFollow both Lane 372 and Alley 27. The branch is also listed as Yongchun Cats; check current house rules if animals affect your visit.
