In search of the best coffee houses in Kyiv

Why coffee is the topic

What can be better than a cup of coffee in the morning? A cup of fresh brewed and correctly prepared coffee for sure. Espresso, cappuccino or latte, it’s doesn’t really matter if you taste it in the right place. Different coffee sorts, a geography of growth, washing and drying methods, roast and finally the method of preparation. Every stage affects a drink’s taste and smell properties. The coffee creation process is an art and to be able to feel the difference you need to make sure that your coffee has been prepared right.

How to find a good place

But how to discover such places? The first idea is to ask friends, the only requirement: you need someone with the same coffee preferences.

I’ve been deeply into coffee culture for 10 years. All new places that I discovered I used to share with my friends. At some places perfect espresso is made, some offers cozy and photogenic interior and others are proud of awesome cheesecakes which I love too.


As you can see, I am trying not only to make practical photos but also to convey the atmosphere for everyone, whether it bystanders, sweet-teeth or coffee junkies. At the same time, genuine coffee fans can get some additional impression from my detailed photos. In case of coffee houses, they can take into account espresso crema shape and color. It should be solid without gaps and has a creamy-orange color. As for about cappuccino foam, it should be well whipped and has no bubbles. Extra point will earn cappuccino with latte art (cute pictures which barista can draw with help of milk and coffee)

Share your experience

When you receive something which exceeds your expectation you definitely want to share this experience with others. That’s how I made my first review on Google Maps. Excellent service, delicious food or nice view - combination of this motivates me to share my experience on the Map. This process is quite simple, you just need a wish and a camera on your mobile phone.

The most exciting about it is that this is so easy. Just in few clicks you can share your experience and help others to discover new places for any choice (stores, restaurants, hotels, architectural sights or wonders of nature, off-the-beaten places, etc). And some people, with photos taken from a different angle, can even uncover popular place from a totally new perspective and it’s awesome. So, by doing it, you become a part of somebody’s fun time and pleasant memories, and it’s precious.

Why I want to contribute

To say more, I believe that today it’s not enough just to create good service which will be successful during the first months after the launch. To reach a new level and to make a product really great a contribution of millions of people is required. Due to this synergy of cool product and community contribution we always have access to information about all needed places in real time around the world. Moreover, this collaboration brings cool benefits like new friends, fresh experience and it’s just fun.
