A city that has been described as ‘little Paris’ or ‘Paris of the East’, coffee culture in Bucharest is well developed and lively.
The first coffeeshop opened here as early as the 17th century when Bucharest was under the domination of the Ottoman Empire. These places became more and more popular throughout the centuries culminating with the French style cafés in the early 1900s.
Even though during Communism the consumption of coffee was a luxury, the last decade has seen a resurgence on this market
Here are some of the coolest cafés in Bucharest in terms of coffee quality, design and atmosphere:
M60 Cafes
M60 is a cosy little café with a great Scandinavian design that brings together groups of artists and other people from the creative fields.
It is a place to enjoy a specialty coffee locally roasted and to eat a healthy bite.

A place to enjoy your coffee.
The concept is simple: everything here costs 5 lei (around 1 EUR!) and it’s usually to go, since there is little space inside.
Despite the low prices, the quality is high and this explains their incredible success.
