    Amazing place for a coffee or cocktail, in a top notch historical location. They have a nice assortment of drinks, something for anyone. The staff is very kind and fully compliant with COVID-19 protection measures. Cocktails are very large and tasty. Coffee is also good, but no choices are available when it comes to the origin of the coffee.

    Very cozy cafe! If I lived in Bucharest I would visit it every day. It is also a perfect spot sfor studying as we saw many people study in there.

    The ambiance of the place is pleasant and they have outlets if you want to do some work on a laptop, but that's about it. Ordered at the bar and it took around 30 minutes to get 2 lemonades delivered to our table, at a time when the place was not super busy. The wait aside, the lemonades were so unbearably sour i felt my tooth enamel being dissolved with each sip! The pricing was pretty fair for the location, but another issue is that bills can only be paid at the end, not as you order, and can only be paid by table. This is counterintuitive as you have to wait in line to order at the bar each time and then wait in line again (with everyone waiting to order) just to pay.

    Coffee is good and served in a nice way. But I will not return here as the management makes you suffer from the mistakes of the company. They miss basic hospitality and good manners to run a place like this. What a pity.

    I really like the atmosphere, good coffee, and nice interior. This is a good place to study or chill with friends. The drinks were all tasty and worthwhile. If you’re up for a fresh place with beautiful architecture then this is a must to visit. Also, the staff is very friendly and helpful every time.

    This place was a very very nice surprise! The rose petals and rozmarin pink grapefruit lemonade was just delicious and when i ordered a cappuccino i didn't expect it to be that good and the salty caramel souce on the side really did the trick. The service was also very nice and the place is very cosy, welcoming and refreshingly creative.

    It was love at first sight with this place. The atmosphere is cozy and the service is outstanding, and they provide you with a variety of drinks to choose from. Whether you want to enjoy a nice coffee or go for a nice drink with your friends, this is the right place. The prices are also very accessible and the quality of the products is otherworldly, but you know the saying—it is the people that make a place feel like home! ❤️

    To get a bit of a bohemian feel that Bucjarest must have had many years ago then this is the place. Artsy, very friendly and fantastic when the weather is nice to sit outside. Prices are very agreeable and the ambiance warm and friendly. Go here, sit down, relax and unwind. Highly recommended

    My favourite coffee shop in Bucharest, Old Town. Excellent service and seating options. We ordered inside and the beverages were brought outside. The weather was pleasant and this is a good people-watching location. I recommend for your coffee fix if you are local. Good pricing point and good decor. Very trendy and stylish!

    Good coffee, especially because of the salted caramel syrup 🤭 We came here to study, but it was pretty noisy and the music was playing kinda loud, so I wouldn't recommend it as a study place. It was also very cold inside.

    I tried this place because it looked good in the photos & was good reviews online. went there, ordered a cappuccino, the guy told me to sit somewhere and he will bring it to me. 25 minutes later, no drink, it seems he forgot about it... pretty bad first impression when it comes to the serving part, but the place looks nice. too bad I didn't get a chance to try the coffee that I went there for :)

    the atmosphere is cozy and bohemian. the cocktails are amazing and the coffee too. they have home made caramel sweetener for coffee ☕️ i will definitely come back 🫶🏼

  • 5/5 Stefania B. 5 months ago on Google
    The cocktails and the iced coffee are to die for! And the prices are really good. It kinda takes a long time for the staff to bring your order, but the place is always really crowded so it’s not really their fault. Love the atmosphere too

  • 5/5 Tassos K. 2 years ago on Google
    Probably the best art cafe in the Lipscani area. Absolutely recommended.

  • 5/5 Richard E. 5 months ago on Google
    A student haunt. I ordered two cups of flat white and a double espresso: I was given a complimentary plum cold drink, waters with each new coffee. A nice spot to “people-watch” outside, while the young people socialize after classes.

  • 5/5 Kirk Che R. 5 months ago on Google
    Tasty and hight quality coffee. Nice place in beautiful heart of Bucharest. I recommend to visit that place.

  • 2/5 Alexandru B. 6 months ago on Google
    I liked the place itself, the view, the tables outside but coffee was pretty bad. If you want a place to drink something and chat its a great place but if you want a good cup of coffee i wouldn t recommend it. I cannot speak about the cocktails or food because i came here for the coffee and i was disappointed so i have to give a bad review. On the other hand the place looks very popular so they are doing something right.

  • 5/5 alexandra p. 2 years ago on Google
    It is my favourite cocktail bar in town! In the middle of chaos you will find this relaxed and welcoming place. The staff is very friendly and they make everything with passion. Totally recomand it!

  • 5/5 Horațiu M. 6 months ago on Google
    FORMA is a really quiet and chill spot, compared to the bustling city around it. It has a couple of tables outside, where you can enjoy a cold drink, under the shade of trees. The prices are very accesible, given its central location.

  • 5/5 Ana M. 6 months ago on Google
    Even though I didn’t taste all the beverages, I get the feeling that none of them will disappoint. Most certainly I’ll come back for the unique homemade recipe of caramel sweetener. And the prices are crazy low for where is located. Not to mention the friendly staff and the beautiful touches of art that the place has. For a nice time with myself or my friends, this is the first option when I’m nearby. Thank you!👐

    Nice cafe! The girl who served us was very kind. Really good iced americano. They have orange juices

  • 5/5 Anastasiia H. 10 months ago on Google
    This place holds a special place in my heart due to its wonderful ambiance and good coffee. The warm and friendly atmosphere, combined with the genuinely kind staff, is why I have affection for this place. The delicious coffee and pastries, complemented by the addition of caramel syrup and a cookie, bring an extra dose of joy. I also like the charming interior with its lovely artworks and vibrant walls, not to mention the freaking enjoyable moments of sitting on the terrace. This is the place that you want to return, making it truly special!💗

  • 5/5 Anastasia D. 1 year ago on Google
    Cozy place, nice atmosphere, good music. Great service, good prices, tasty coffee & lemonade, fresh sweets / cookies and the tea is served in the infuser = 2 cups. I loved it. Saved it in favorites. 👌

  • 5/5 Trevor T. 1 year ago on Google
    Service was a little slow by British standards and the barman argued when he was pulled up on a bit but a lovely place with great clientele and an excellent selection of drinks

  • 5/5 Maxime 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite coffee from Bucharest, it’s been a year that I’m coming here and have never been left unsatisfied Staff is welcoming and warm Shoutout to the painted wall and the temporary exposition they have !

  • 5/5 Pichi C. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful place to grab coffee. Staff were so kind and friendly. Very pleasant seating space. Chill vibes. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Daria C. 1 year ago on Google
    Really amazing place for hanging out with friends. All the drinks are tasty, from the coffee-based ones to the non-coffee-based ones. (which actually surprised me, since not a lot of cafes in Bucharest serve good non-coffee-based drinks.) Lovely atmosphere and good prices, as well as really friendly staff!

  • 4/5 Fiona T. 1 year ago on Google
    Very quirky, arty little bar, off the beaten track. Lovely Mai Tai. Relaxing, cool ambience and impressive decor. Service was a tad slow and seating at the back could be more comfy but my favourite find in the city.

  • 5/5 I Z. 2 years ago on Google
    The coffee was really excellent, the staff friendly and the few tables outdoors made it the perfect spot to enjoy the afternoon sunshine! Recommended!

  • 4/5 Ana M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very artsy and hipsterish. Had a nice date here one time, at one of the tables in the back - felt really nice with the warm lights and the minimalist design of the place. The servers were friendly and chill. Yet, the place is rather small and it tends to get crowded...but it s nice that they manage to create a pleasant ambiance even so.

  • 5/5 Sabin R. 1 year ago on Google
    Remarkably good coffee! The service could be a bit faster, but the atmosphere is so nice and the drinks as well that you don't mind waiting a bit :)

  • 5/5 Alexandra V. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely loved this place! Delicious coffee and beautiful place. So glad I found it.

  • 5/5 Mara H. 2 years ago on Google
    My new favourite coffee place in Bucharest! Excellent coffee, very friendly staff and their elderflower soda lemonade is just heavenly ❤️

  • 4/5 Rodrigo L. 2 years ago on Google
    Very pleasant coffee shop with very alternative instrumental music. It has a good vibe to it and most of the customers seem to be young folks. The coffee took a little to come out but it was good. Also is English speaking friendly.
