Specialty coffee

I am a specialty coffee lover and I decide on my my holiday destinations based on the quality of coffeeshops in the area. Would love to see your lists of best places to get coffee wherever you live.

One of my lists for Lyon is below.

Hey @CaffeinatedPiglet ,

Wow, this is awesome, thanks for sharing! This is so up my alley, as I’m a huge coffee lover. Any type of coffee, for that matter. :slight_smile: If I had to choose a favorite, it would be a flavored latte. Have you ever tried red espresso or a red latte?

Here is a list of my favorite, recent visits to coffee shops around the world:

  1. Mugg & Bean - Johannesburg, South Africa

  2. Afreddo cafe - Sofia, Bulgaria

  3. Coffee Island - Thessaloniki, Greece

Hi @CaffeinatedPiglet . Thank you for sharing this heart-warming in the morning photo. Having a good cup of coffee in a calm and relaxing atmosphere can really boost your mood throughout the whole day.

My personal favourite is "The Old Lady" in Sofia, Bulgaria. They make the best Sunday brunches around.

Hi @CaffeinatedPiglet,

Beautiful photo of the coffee! Here is Lime cafe I recently visited, which had amazing coffees and cakes.

Another favorite place for real espresso is Cosmos, which in my opinion serve the best espresso in town!

Would love to see more cool cafes around!

Hey @CaffeinatedPiglet ,

I love your photo, the coffee looks just like my next cup of cappuccino. Is that Piglet on the photo? I am more of a fan of Tiger. :slight_smile:

I drink my coffee with milk. Usually when I am not at work, I meet my best friend and we go to the local coffee shop in my neighbourhood. When I am at the office, sometimes I get a nice cup of cappuccino from a chain cafe called Ciccione.

Just the other day I had an amazing latte at Dubai Marina complemented with a black waffle. It was very tasty and any other chocolate lover would appreciate it.

Hi @CaffeinatedPiglet ,

Such a cute piglet and thank you for sharing your lists with us. I am a coffee lover too and if I go to Lyon one day I will take a look at these places.

I was in Madrid few days ago and there went to a really good coffee shop. The name of the place is The Secret Garden of Salvador Bachiller and it is hidden inside a shop.To get there you will need to take the elevator to the last floor and you will arrive directly at the secret garden.

Here is one photo from there.

Hi @CaffeinatedPiglet ,

Coffee is a pleasure but also a boost to your day. That’s the reason why there are elements that should never miss when I want a quick one.

  1. Needs to be served with a glass of water, I like mine to be lightly sparkling,

  2. Doesn’t have to be piping hot, but warm. I want to drink it as a shot possibly.

  3. The mug needs to be small and warm in order to keep the aroma balanced.

That looks incredible! I feel my blood sugar rising already!

Adding it to my list. The juice looks so fresh!

I was going to go to Sofia this past Christmas but ultimately decided on Bucharest. I’ve heard good things about the coffee culture there

I also pick the destination when I see the place has a good speciality coffee scene. I’d love to go to Africa to see the real coffee farms there
