I have yet to find a coffee shop or tea house in Beitou with a nice view even though Beitou is known as a beautiful area with lots of green trees.
There is this one museum inside an old Japanese house but not much of a view.
Not technically Beitou, but there’s like 4 different restaurants there in that one hair pin.
Also this spot up on YMS:
Don’t forget, a huge chunk of YMS is considered Beitou District:
The library is great view. Anyone can enter. Lots of seats and tables. Outdoor reading areas. Magazines and newspapers available. Restrooms. No drinks allowed but everyone has one.

There’s a s******* Starbucks with betel nut juice stains all over the sidewalk in front and no view.
