Welcome to Day Off Café (別家烘培咖啡), a cozy gem nestled in the heart of Da’an District, Taipei. This charming café is not merely a pit stop for caffeine lovers, but a sanctuary for those seeking a genuine coffee experience enriched by warm, personal connections.

As you step inside, the inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee envelops you, setting the perfect scene for relaxation or a brief catch-up with friends. The cafe’s intimate setting, with limited seating, fosters an atmosphere that encourages interaction and conversation, making it an ideal spot for both locals and visitors alike.

Day Off Café offers a delightful range of coffee choices, emphasizing quality and flavor. One of the standout options is the drip coffee, available for NT150, which customers rave about in their reviews. Many patrons have noted that the owner goes above and beyond, often providing complimentary tastings to help you discover your next favorite brew. Imagine savoring the distinct notes of a Yirgacheffe coffee, hand-brewed while you chat about coffee’s rich history and nuances. This is the experience that keeps customers coming back, as highlighted by Amin J, who enjoyed engaging conversations with the friendly owner while partaking in a delightful coffee selection.

What truly sets Day Off Café apart is its dedication to a personalized experience. As described by Mike Alchie Chou, the owner’s eagerness to ensure you have your order ready, even waiting at the entrance for your arrival, is a testament to the exceptional service you can expect here. Whether you’re a coffee aficionado or someone seeking a casual cup, the friendly demeanor of the staff will make you feel right at home.

The inviting atmosphere, complemented by the hipster aesthetic of the decor, creates a perfect setting for grabbing a cup of coffee on the go or engaging in stimulating conversations. True to the sentiments expressed by WeiHung Lee, while it may lack the polished sophistication of larger chains like Starbucks, Day Off Café delivers an authentic, heartwarming experience that is anything but ordinary.

For those who find themselves captivated by the café’s charm, it’s not only about the coffee; it’s about the personal connections and memorable moments. And as one delighted customer reminisced, you can experience a taste of international café culture right from Taipei, without the need to travel abroad.

So, if you find yourself wandering down Lane 126 on Shida Rd, make sure to carve out some time to visit Day Off Café. Delight in a cup of expertly crafted coffee, soak in the delightful ambiance, and perhaps find a new favorite spot where coffee dreams come true.

Many foreigners come to this café, and for a reason: the owner is really friendly and chatty and the coffee is cheap and great. I ordered a drip coffee (for NT150) and he gave me a taster of another coffee too. Be aware that the space is small and if you are planning to chill for hours, this is not for you. But certainly worth a visit and a chat

Today I ordered a cup of yirgacheffe here, I was calling the phone for taking out, the owner said it would take around 2 minutes. Around 5 minutes later I arrived coffee shop and saw the coffee shop owner was standing at the entrance for waiting me, it was touched and I really appreciate it, of course the flavor is nice too. Highly recommend here for anyone who would like to have a cup of coffee around here.

巷內、容易錯過。超 讚。年輕老闆的咖啡夢。台灣咖啡人很容易被寵壞,因為高手都在巷內!店小、但是咖啡 超 厲 害。

It may not looks as classy as Starbucks or Fancy like Yappie Cafe. But it includes everything that defines a coffee shop. It emits a hipster feeling the moment you step in. Rest assured, the coffee they make, will not disappoint you, it already conquered my heart although I am a Starbucks fanatic

很棒的一家小店 不經意走過店門口,被低調特別的氣場吸引過去!經過一些時間了解,發現老闆是一個很有趣的人!涉獵廣泛,從翡翠玉石、特技到咖啡知識都了解! 值得一提的是,店內有三款獨家配方精品咖啡:梵谷、畢卡索已經內華達酒釀! 旁邊拉麵店很有名!同樣的我覺得我家咖啡廳一樣有成名的潛力! 店內座位極少,略顯擁擠,但是老闆對於咖啡的熱情是無限大。值得專程前來交流與認識。 #喔對了,這邊的濾掛也很好喝!我買了2盒送人!
