Poetry Coffeeshop
A small café at 119 Ștefan cel Mare, big windows and outdoor seats
An americano served as an espresso with a glass of boiling water on the side, so you dose the strength yourself, per a 4-star review.
Worth it for a short break on the boulevard or a corner at the bar with a laptop, open daily 08:00 · 20:00. Come prepared for two things: the room is small and gets crowded, and opinions on the coffee differ sharply among the reviews on file, from “one of the best coffee in the city” in a 4-star review to a latte “more like water with milk” in a 3-star one and “undertrained” service in a 2-star one. The menu is not in any source and there is no website; the price range on the page comes from Google.
A café at 119 Bulevardul Ștefan cel Mare și Sfânt, in the city centre. Its registered Google name is “Poetry Coffeeshop Powered by Julius Meinl”. The room is small and fills up: a 3-star review says there is “not a lot of sitting”, and a 4-star one says it gets overcrowded in winter precisely because the coffee shop is small. Reviewers praise the big windows, good for people watching, the bar stools that work well for a laptop and the outdoor seating. Among the reviews on file, opinions on the coffee differ sharply. A 4-star review calls it “one of the best coffee in the city” and likes that an americano arrives as an espresso with a glass of boiling water on the side, so you set the strength yourself. A 3-star review calls the coffee “pretty bad” and the latte “more like water with milk”, and a 2-star one finds the coffee average and the staff undertrained. Open daily 08:00 · 20:00 per Google. No website of its own: the link on file goes to Instagram, so the menu is not in any source. Google publishes a 100 · 200 MDL range for the place.

“very nice idea - loved the espresso and even though the place was busy, they made sure to produce drinks as quickly as possible. i liked sitting in the corner on my laptop at the bar stools and liked people watching, given all of the big windows. chill ambiance and nice that there is also outdoor seating for a nice day out.”
“A café aiming for a premium, comfortable experience but missing the mark. Service feels undertrained, the coffee is average, and the overall experience doesn’t justify a repeat visit.”
“Not terrible overall, nice atmosphere although there is not a lot of sitting. The coffee on the other side was pretty bad, my latte tested more like water with milk, the dessert weren’t the best but not terrible either.”
