Coffee Dumbo
登波咖啡 · show this name to taxi drivers
A tiny retro coffee bar in the Chifeng Street lanes, known for specialty coffee and American-style cinnamon rolls. With only a handful of seats, including a small counter where you can watch the coffee being made, it suits a short coffee break on your own rather than a long laptop session.

How to order, step by step
- Check for a free seat first - the room is small and many people take their drinks to the open area outside
- If you sit inside, order at least one drink per person
- Choose an espresso drink or hand-drip coffee and add a cinnamon roll if you like
- Cards were listed in 2026, but carry cash as a backup
- There is no customer toilet, so plan your stop around that
What to order solo: A hand-drip or espresso coffee (from about NT$120-160 in March 2026) with the cafe's cinnamon roll.
Best time to go alone: Soon after the 12:00 opening on a weekday. It closes at 18:00, and weekends are busier.
