“Destination: Bucharest”: Romania’s Capital city, a top destination for specialty coffee lovers

At the beginning of the day, most people take their dose of energy from a cup of coffee. While some prefer to prepare it at home, others choose to get their favorite coffee from a special place. And Bucharest comes with great news for those who prefer specialty coffee, as this segment has grown rapidly in recent years. Dozens of coffee shops selling specialty coffee open their doors every morning, ready to pamper their customers with flavored high quality beverages.

It’s morning and the clock shows few minutes past 9 when we arrive at one of the most popular cafes in Bucharest serving specialty coffee. We discovered it right in the city center, not far from the busy boulevard, but somehow hidden from the morning rush. To get here we had to enter a black metal gate and then go through a corridor that took us to the building that also houses this coffee shop. In fact, most of the cafes in Bucharest serving specialty coffee are located on side streets.
