Simple Kaffa was founded by Berg Wu, the first Taiwanese World Barista Champion.

The densest grid of independents, including Rufous Coffee and VWI by CHADWANG.

Dadaocheng (Datong)

Century-old merchant streets around Dihua Street now hold independent specialty cafés.

The Minsheng community and Songshan Cultural and Creative Park add a creative cluster.
