Sounds Good Cafe — Restaurant in Da'an District

This coffee shop has a unique, old-school vibe that really stands out. It features vinyl records as a central theme—even the menu comes on a mini record, and the background music plays from a vintage machine. They told me I could even use the menu to play music on a small record player next to my seat, which I was really excited to try—but I got caught up with work, lost track of time, and unfortunately didn’t get the chance before the shop closed.

It’s the kind of place where you could easily order a coffee and soak in the music for hours, reading a book or just relaxing. That said, for someone trying to work, the music was a bit too loud for me—but that’s more of a personal issue. If the music style is your thing, it would definitely make for a great chill-out spot.

I really loved the interior design—thoughtful and full of character. Definitely need to come back and try the full vinyl...

nothing better than spending an afternoon with your best friennnd at a cozy cafe with good food, cool tunes, and thousands of vinyl records waiting to be discovered. this was our second visit and i have to say that sounds good has to be one of the coolest cafes in taipei 😌🎧

each person gets an unique menu with a vinyl record on the cover that you can play on the record player 🎞️ when it comes to food, the salmon ochazuke here is my absolute favvv 🍚 there are also coffee, musical cocktails, and even elvis presley’s favorite sandwich (peanut butter + bacon + cheese + banana) you can try 🤭🍸 oh and did i mention from the lights, the counter, to the bathroom sink, everything here is music themed:)! the best part is that you can even request vinyl albums...

Cool niche cafe. I recommend to book a table in advance. The lemon tart was very nice. Good crust and a pronounced lemon flavour.

The brownie was not as good since it lacked depth and didn't have much chocolate flavour. The ice cream is store bought and it would elevate the dish if they made homemade ice cream.

The sesame milk is good. So was the chocolate milk. Price is not cheap and the total came out to 726 NTD.

Staff is very nice and they frequently refill water for the guests.

The music is more oldschool than pop which I prefer. You can play music by a station, there's a headset. Pretty cool.

Worth a visit if you want to try a hip...
