Coffee shops and tea rooms Moscow (Москва)

It's an institution in the city. Hidden in an inner courtyard, this independent coffee shop opened on the initiative of coffeeaficionados and has been a revolution in Moscow's coffee culture. Its signature drink is roasted locally according to secret recipes and brewed using V60 and Aeropress techniques (you order your coffee tightly, and black). In a creative and relaxed atmosphere, you can also pick from its cakes (or its selection of wines) while listening to the owners' vinyl collection. A must on your to-do list !

Entering this café not far from the Belorusskaya metro station, you feel as if you are entering the holy of holies of a design album or a life-size catalogue. Rest assured, rather than intimidating, this commitment to the light blue decor provides a highly convivial (and very instagramable) setting in which one quickly feels at ease. It's even better when you taste the superb coffees, teas, traditional drinks and cakes, crumbles or even the triangular sandwiches freshly prepared with a masterful hand by the staff.

Located on the ground floor of the Gogol house-museum, this small café has won over tourists and locals alike. Opened and run by a passionate Italian couple, this is the place in Moscow where you can taste the true flavours of Italian coffee, from 7 different types of coffee. The reputation of the place was formed mainly thanks to the kindness and attentions of the barist-owners, so don't hesitate to come and chat! Finally, their pastries and croissants are also very good. Be careful, the place is very small.

In the continuation of the lipki park and not far from the quays you will find this small café, ideal for a stop in the middle of a walk (summer, we recommend it). As evidenced by its permanently full room, this young establishment has been a dazzling success. It is thanks to the excellent service and the very good coffees that you can find there, a regularly changing menu of home-made sweets and desserts and thanks, it must be said, to the lack of competition in the neighbourhood. So it's literally a must stop if you want to settle down in the area.

Bro.We is a Moscow café not belonging to any chain that attracts by its interesting presentation - the guys are focused on promoting espresso, the one you should drink here and now, a strong drink full of caffeine and a thousand flavors. In addition to coffee, you can enjoy alcoholic tea cocktails, as well as desserts, among which the homemade Berry Pavlova deserves a special mention. This espresso bar states that communication with customers is just as much a part of the barista's job as the preparation of the coffee. Perhaps it's time to find out if they speak English.
