【FeverTravel】Taipei Fake Hipster Café Guide

By: Dan

If slow living is a way of life, then being a fake hipster is definitely an attitude to travel. Some say it’s not just about eating, drinking, playing, and having fun — that it’s more meaningful to dive deep into the local community and understand the history and culture. But actually, even just eating, drinking, playing, and having fun can be stylish and cool. This time, we’ve invited Fever Travel blogger Xiao Shu to introduce us to five carefully selected hipster cafés in Taipei, so we can all be fake hipsters together.

Huashan 1914 Creative Park · Fab Cafe x Gabee

Located at the outer left side of the entrance to Huashan 1914 Creative Park, Fab Cafe is decorated with a row of wooden chairs at the entrance and a rusted brand name, giving off an industrial vibe.

When you want to feel a bit artsy, you can also grab a coffee on the spot and play the part.
