Buffalo Bookstore Taipei

Quaint, cozy, and spacious bookstore with plenty of working space. Unlike most crowded coffee shops in Taipei, this place is very accommodating for those trying to get work done. They sell organic and all-natural food and personal products (soaps, body wash) in addition to their thought-provoking book collection. A drink order is required to use their space.

Sweet, courteous staff. Beautiful books and quiet environment to work. Coffee was also very nice! Definitely recommend, its a sweet local coffee shop

Lovely place but pricey to eat at. Perfect if you just want to sit down, have a coffee and read a book. In the back they have tables and offer quality Japanese food starting around 450nt. Right next to a small park

The first time I visisted this place I felt a bit unwelcome by the way the staff approached me (or actually just didn't interact with me at all), also I felt like the prices where a bit high. But, a few weeks later me and my friends decided to give it another try. This visit was so much worse then the previous one. We were with 4 people and since two of us were very hungry, they decided to order a plate of fries, the other two both ordered a tea. When ordering my friend was told in a very unfriendly way that we all had to order at least something, so she decided to order another plate of fries. This was brought to us but then we were told we at least all had to order one drink, even though we already got 4 things.nnI understand they have to make a profit and don't want people to just sit without ordering, but the way we were treated was one of the most unpleasant experiences we have had in Taipei. I will absolutely not come back here and recommend others not to either.

Great place to sit, read, and work. Comfortable couches upstairs, nice tables downstairs. Lots of outlets and good wifi. A good menu for tea and coffee, plus they serve food at dinner time.
