Repairing cafes can not only drink coffee, but also help others fix things.

Repair Cafe (RepairCafe) is a new form of coffee shop popular in Europe. In addition to chatting and surfing the Internet, there is now another function: repairing things.

The concept of "repair coffee shop" originated in the Netherlands. The first repair coffee shop was established in Amsterdam in 2010, and by 2014, this type of coffee shop has been widely distributed in Western Europe and North America. There are already 400 repair cafes around the world.

Taiwan's first "repair Cafe", established in mid-October 2014, will provide maintenance tools and services on a regular basis, allowing customers to repair household appliances and furniture while drinking coffee to communicate, repair things and repair interpersonal relationships.

In Taiwan's first repair cafe, the "Urban maintenance Shop" team cooperated with Faust Beer Garden in the Zhongshan District of Taipei to provide regular maintenance services and courses in the cafe. The team took various maintenance courses and recruited a number of repair experts from the community and invited them to stop at the station regularly to teach maintenance skills.

The purpose of the "repair Cafe" business is not to provide customers with coffee, but to provide some repair tools and repair experience. The idea of "maintenance Cafe" is to avoid overproduction by repairing some small machines, clothes and other old things that can only be discarded without maintenance.

"if you don't have anything to fix, you can have a cup of tea or a small cup of coffee here, or help others repair things for them," said the organization of repair Cafe.

Repair Cafe ranges from lights, clothes, cameras, cell phones, computers, lawnmowers, suitcases, bicycles to microwave ovens, toasters and CD players.
