Coffee explained by the owner, served per one review with cherry liqueur and water alongside

Why it’s worth visiting

Worth it if you have time to listen, not just to drink. Almost every review revolves around the owner, so come when you have an hour to spare.

The story

Small café on 31 August 1989 street, open daily from 11:00 to 21:00. Reviews talk less about the menu and more about the owner: he is described as a true connoisseur who explains the coffee varieties and tells the stories of the people, Moldovan and foreign, who drank them over time. One guest says outright that it is not just a place but a whole experience. The coffee is praised consistently, and one guest recommends asking for it served with cherry liqueur and water. The setting is described as unique and welcoming. Worth knowing: almost every review revolves around the host, so on a day when he is not behind the counter the experience may be a different one.

Good to know
  • The experience depends on the host: almost every review revolves around the owner
  • A small room, and the stories take time, this is not a five-minute stop
