The most unique feature? The shop provides blank sketchbooks, pencils, and colored pencils so you can doodle freely and leave a piece of your memory at Remember Me. Free Wi-Fi and power outlets are available, with no time limits on dining on weekdays (three-hour limit on holidays). It’s a peaceful retreat even if you’re flying solo.

Tucked away in an alley in Taipei’s East District, Costumice Cafe feels like an oasis away from the hustle and bustle.
