The coffee capitals
For some travelers, the itinerary is built around museums or restaurants. For others, it’s around cafés. These cities are worth the detour for this reason alone: their coffee culture is a destination in itself.
The old continent
The global epicenter of espresso. Naples drinks it standing, quickly, strong, and concentrated. Neapolitan coffee is not a drink: it’s a social act codified for centuries. The "caffè sospeso" (suspended coffee for a stranger) was born here. An incomparable culture to experience on site.
Europe’s most advanced specialty coffee scene. Tim Wendelboe, Fuglen, Supreme Roastworks: names known worldwide. In Oslo, filter coffee is king and traceability is a religion. Expensive but transformative.
The Viennese Kaffehaus is a global monument. People come to stay: newspaper, book, conversation, passing time. The Melange (Viennese cappuccino), café crème, the Einspänner (double espresso under whipped cream). A philosophy of suspended time.
The Pacific revolution
The birthplace of the flat white, of the Pacific third wave. Coffee culture integrated into daily life. Every neighborhood has its reference roaster.
Absolute precision, impeccable service, traditional cafés (kissaten) and new waves coexist. The filter coffees of Shibuya are worth the trip.
Our continent
The American city that launched the third wave with Stumptown Coffee. Still today one of the densest and most creative scenes in the world.
Williamsburg, Carroll Gardens, Park Slope: the concentration of independent roasters and quality cafés here is among the highest in the world. All global trends converge here.
Myriade Coffee, Saint-Henri, Dispatch, Carrera Café. Montreal has built an outstanding specialty coffee scene, nestled in historic neighborhoods that give each visit a unique flavor. The city where we operate and take pride in.
