1. Zhanlu Coffee
Already quite popular, Zhanlu Coffee originally closed its branches at 9:00 PM, but after its Taipei University branch extended hours to 11:00 PM, it was added to the list of late-night cafes favored by night owls. The name “Zhanlu” literally means deep black—a famous dark iron heavy sword from the Warring States period. Just like the forging of a sword, coffee undergoes a high-temperature roasting process that requires precision and focus, hence the name. The cool baristas showcase various brewing methods for different single-origin beans, making each cup of coffee look like a piece of art, transforming coffee into so much more than just a beverage.
