Why Day 1

Your workday deserves more than a café table.

Natural light. A proper desk. Great coffee. People who know your name.

Day 1 is a coworking space in Taipei where you can get serious work done, take your calls in private, and find people you’ll look forward to seeing again.

We’re not a coffee shop. But we take our coffee seriously.

We think our coffee can hold its own against most coffee shops in Taipei. The difference? It’s included in your day pass or membership.

Our entrepreneur member Jenny hand-picks the beans and works directly with the farmers who grow them. She focuses on organic coffee, decent pay for farmers, and farming practices that help regenerate the forest.

This isn’t an afterthought next to the printer. It’s special coffee, chosen by someone who cares deeply about it—and who’s part of the community you’ll meet here.

Come for a productive day. Look forward to the coffee.

Take your calls in private. We have room.

You shouldn’t have to take a client call on the pavement or compete with the sound of a coffee grinder.

With nine meeting rooms to choose from, plus phone booths, you’ll always have somewhere to take a private call. Settle in, close the door, and give the conversation your full attention.

Nine meeting rooms. Space for your conversation.

Plug into a better working setup.

Some work needs more than a laptop balanced on a tiny table.

At Day 1, shared monitors are ready when you need a bigger screen, with HDMI and Apple USB-C connection options. They’re first come, first served, and there are usually enough for everyone.

Several tables are height-adjustable, so you can find a more comfortable working position. Choose an office chair on wheels or a steady, cushioned seat.

Your back—and your twenty open browser tabs—will appreciate the difference.

Daylight, window views, and sunsets.

Spend your day somewhere you actually enjoy being.

Day 1 has plenty of natural light, views from the window seats, and beautiful sunsets on clear evenings. Look up from your screen occasionally. There’s something worth looking at.

Focus when you need it. Company when you want it.

A deadline deserves some peace. A new idea sometimes needs another person.

Our focus room gives you somewhere to concentrate without interruptions. The open space gives you room to talk, exchange ideas, make friends, and find unexpected collaborators.

Choose the environment that suits your work today. Change seats when your day changes.

You won’t stay a stranger for long.

On your first visit, we’ll introduce you to people and help you settle in. Come back, and you’ll hear your name when you walk through the door.

You might find someone who can give you useful feedback, introduce you to a customer, or simply make lunch more interesting.

You don’t need a polished pitch. Start with hello.

Keep your seat. Skip the extra orders.

Working from a café can come with a running bill: another drink to stay longer, food you wouldn’t otherwise order, or a menu that decides your lunch budget for you.

At Day 1, you’re welcome to settle in and work. You don’t have to keep buying things to justify being here.

Bring your lunchbox. Pick up takeaway. Bring your favourite coffee from somewhere else. Outside food and drinks are welcome.

Spend your money on what you actually want. We just ask that you eat in the kitchen area so smells and mealtime conversations don’t disturb people working.

Your lunch. Your choice.

Three minutes from the MRT.

We’re just three minutes’ walk from Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall MRT station.

That means less time caught in a sudden downpour, less time walking through Taipei’s summer heat, and an easy journey for anyone coming to meet you.

Your best working hours might not be office hours.

Early morning focus? A late call with Europe? A weekend project you finally have time for?

All-Access membership gives you access 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Work when it suits you.

More reasons to get involved.

With All-Access membership, many community events are free to attend.

Meet someone outside your usual circle. Hear an idea you hadn’t considered. Join a conversation that carries on after the event ends.

Check each event listing for what’s included.

Don’t come to Day 1 if…

  • You’d rather nobody ever learn your name.
  • You prefer working somewhere dark and basement-like.
  • You’re determined not to make any new friends.
  • You don’t want anyone giving you ideas that might make you think bigger.

Introverts, you’re welcome. You can work quietly, take your time, and join conversations when you feel like it. There’s no requirement to become the loudest person in the room.

Find your place at Day 1.

Try the chairs. Plug into a monitor. Have a coffee. Meet a few people. Come see what your working day could feel like.
