Florence only offers beans from East Africa, and its enthusiastic regulars cannot get enough. If available, try the Ethiopian Agaro, from the Jimma region. Owner Kelsey visits every producer to make sure that farmers are taken care of. “We’re a small coffee shop on a big mission,” she says. Here Yannick, the co-founder is making a fresh brew with coffee beans from his homeland, Rwanda.

Intense is new on Luxembourg City's coffee scene since summer 2022, and has already earned plenty of praise from dedicated coffee people. The coffee shop represents a new wave, expressed here through decor that is unlike other coffee shops: high ceilings, plants galore, and a nearly open bar. Their piccolo – a precisely pulled shot of espresso and a bit of steamed milk and foam – is perfection.

Bloom sits on a calm corner overlooking a playground. Inside you are met with a cosy, wooden vibe and baristas who are eager to please.

Maison Santos has been located on the capital’s main shopping street since opening in 1928. While you can – and should – stop in for a cup, it’s mainly a roaster. Classy and conscientious, their beans are distributed from beautiful brass containers at least 100 years old, and they were the first roaster in Luxembourg to offer Fairtrade products. Sipping on one of their rich Italian espressos is a step back in time.
