Behind every great coffee is a story of sourcing, roasting, and barista craft. Our coffee shop reviews celebrate specialty cafes that take their beans seriously — from Parisian torrefacteurs with decades of expertise to third-wave roasters in Bangkok and Dubai pushing the boundaries of extraction techniques. We evaluate the coffee quality, the food offerings, the interior design, and the overall atmosphere that makes a cafe worth seeking out.

Each review covers what coffee enthusiasts want to know: bean origins and roasting styles, espresso and filter options, latte art quality, whether the pastries and brunch menu match the calibre of the coffee, and the ambiance — whether ideal for a quiet morning read, a working session, or simply a moment of calm between two sightseeing stops.

Discover our favourite addresses city by city, from well-established specialty names to the independent micro-roasters that locals cherish and visitors rarely find on their own.
