Ling Gan Vegan Coffee Shop
靈感咖啡 Vegan Coffee Shop · show this name to taxi drivers
A small, quiet vegan cafe on the third floor above a sports shop, across the road from the National Taiwan University sports center. Nearly every seat has a power outlet and guests are asked to keep their voices down, so it suits reading or working on your own. It serves pour-over coffee, soy lattes, tea and house-made vegan desserts.

How to order, step by step
- Take the narrow staircase to the right of the adidas store at No. 84-6 up to the third floor - there are a lot of steps, so leave big luggage behind
- Find a seat - the cafe doesn't take reservations
- Order at least one drink per person
- When the cafe is full, seats are limited to 2.5 hours. If nobody is waiting, you can order again to stay longer
- Keep your voice down - it's a quiet cafe
- Bring some cash in case cards aren't accepted
What to order solo: A soy latte or a pour-over coffee with one of the house-made vegan desserts, such as a scone.
