In our blog, we will sometimes write about the interiors of various cafes and restaurants around the world with good specialty coffee. In this review, we have compiled a list of the best coffee shops in Europe according to the opinion of people who often visit there. The concept of" best " consists largely of the quality and price of drinks, the availability of a place to sit and socialize, the quality of service, the well-groomed place itself, the availability of affordable goodies that you can crunch with a cup of coffee and, of course, the exclusivity of good coffee varieties and roasting. It will be useful to have such a list at hand to look at the light if you are in Europe.
1. Drop Coffee Roasters. Stockholm, Sweden
In addition to delicious coffee, which is roasted right here, filling everything around with delicious aromas from early to evening, you can take barista courses in the coffee shop and buy pre-packaged ground or whole grain coffee.
2. The Barn, Berlin, Germany
Here you will find excellent home-made pastries and sandwiches, from the very sight of which you can not only lick your fingers, but also swallow. Experts who have visited hundreds of coffee shops around the world agree that this place is, if not the best in the world, then definitely the best in Europe! It is here that specialty coffee has been actively advertised and promoted since 2010, and therefore the owners are considered ardent pioneers of the "third wave". While in Berlin, don't miss the opportunity for a gastronomic delight given at the Barn. In addition, it is not only a coffee shop, but also a roasting shop that supplies specialty coffee to dozens of local establishments.
3. Coffee Workshop, London, England
We will not now resort to thinking about whether England should still be considered part of Europe or not after their "Brexit". At least geographically and historically — exactly so. Workshop Coffee establishments (of which there are several in London) offer a fantastic level of comfort, largely due to the "yellow lamp light" that people associate with childhood, and due to the brick loft. Each of the establishments is easily accessible by taxi, and the huge halls where people spend hours at work inspire close social contacts and new acquaintances.
4. Bob Coffee Lab, Bucharest, Romania
Of course, the creativity of the design strongly affects the popularity of the institution. As well as the constantly high bar in customer service, which allowed the establishment to be called the best in Eastern Europe, according to coffee critics. The coffee shop has not only its own roast, but also its own coffee shop from many countries, which are sold in cute bags with images of dogs drawn in the style of Kafka's reinterpreted surrealism. The floating font in the design, combined with an ingenious approach to lighting, makes the place one of a kind on the whole planet. Visit them to see for yourself that they are different.
5. Coffee Collective, Copenhagen, Denmark
It is difficult to distinguish the interior decoration of this coffee shop, which is more like a large meeting room of some office. However, the" salt " of this place is in creating unique coffee blends, which, as many critics note, can only be found here. In addition, this establishment sells coffee appliances and high-end coffee filters for specialty coffee. Their activities are aimed at developing society and expanding socio-cultural ties between people.
6. Tim Wendleboy, Oslo, Norway
The town is well decorated inside and out. Here you can drink coffee, buy ground coffee, ask for roasting to the desired degree, order home delivery, and just chat. It is thanks to the efforts of the owner of this coffee shop in Oslo in particular and in Norway in general that people began to love (and drink) coffee more, and many critics find this place the best in the country in terms of the quality of drinks.
A special feature of each package of specialty coffee that is sold here is the indication of information about the specific place where this coffee was produced, how it was processed, what year of harvest, what degree of roasting, and what predominant notes of taste can be found in it. This is cool!
They also buy grains only from a few specific small family farmers in several countries: Colombia, Honduras, El Salvador, Kenya and Ethiopia, so you won't find such grains (and such flavors) in any other coffee shop in Europe!
