"Part specialty coffee shop, part boutique, in a cool industrial-looking space in the recently reopened Universul palace. Serves coffee from The Barn."

"They might not have a flat white on the menu (go for the double cappuccino instead), but it's currently the only place in Timişoara that can make a serious claim about serving specialty coffee."

"They tend to overroast their coffee and oversteam their milk. You might manage to get something resembling a real flat white if you explicitly ask for their lightest roast and some less-heated milk."

"You wouldn't expect a coffee shop in a mall, branded by a notoriously mediocre supermarket coffee brand, to deliver good specialty coffee (including single origins), but, improbably, it does."

"Excellent specialty coffee, good background music plus plentiful electrical outlets and seating make it possibly the best place for working remotely in the city. (Or just hanging out on a weekend.)"

"The leading place for specialty coffee in Bucharest (and basically where the city's growing coffee scene took off). They no longer have a house blend, and exclusively serve single origins instead."
