The back story
About Coffee in Sofia
Sofia loves its coffee, from small espresso bars on every corner to book cafés and a lively scene of specialty roasters.
Espresso everywhere
Bulgarians mostly drink espresso, often from kiosks and small bars, alongside a banitsa in the morning.
Book cafés
Book cafés and art cafés are quiet places to read and meet.
Sofia has an espresso machine on almost every corner.
Specialty coffee
A growing number of specialty roasters and cafés serve single-origin coffee, filter and espresso.
Our advice: start with banitsa and espresso, then visit a specialty roaster such as Dabov for filter coffee.
