ForGood Cafe ($$$)

Rating: 3/5 

Address: No. 12, Lane 41, Yongkang Street, Da’an District, Taipei City, 106

Telephone:  02 3393 8659

ForGood Cafe serves simple homemade food, including paninis, quiches, and cheesecakes. Its casual and laid-back environment makes it a good brunch spot. Although the seats were comfortable and the cafe was quiet and spacious, the Wi-Fi connection was poor and the overall lighting was rather dim, as the layout of the cafe heavily depended on the natural lighting from the sun. The food was also slightly pricey for its small quantity. Thus, ForGood cafe is not the most ideal place to study in.
