    One of the most tasteful and aromatic coffees you can ever try. They offer different blends and different brews. I usually get coffee to go in my own cup. Their nut vegan milk options are home made and also taste amazing. Recommended to give it a try. They recently opened an adjacent room, really cozy, to stop for a moment and enjoy your coffee. And it is also laptop & dog friendly, too. Wifi and power sockets also available.

    Amazing coffee! It’s one of my favorite coffee places right now. They have good quality coffee with nut based milk. I will definitely recommend to try their cappuccino with hazelnut milk. It’s a pretty small place, however they have some tables to seat outside and a small area inside, so you will be able to enjoy your coffee. If you want to take coffee to go then you will need to spend 1 BGN (which is refundable if you return the bottle) and they will give you a glass bottle. Nice way to be more eco friendly. Also, the barista is always welcoming and friendly

    Taste 2.6 Temp 2.8 Texture 2.7 (8.1 /9) Art 0.8 total 8.9 A little harder to judge as they only have plant based milk. Had almond and it was good but different. Wouldn’t normally take this option at home

    Nice and very friendly tiny coffee shop. Delicious coffee in combination with homemade (!!) plant based milk (hazelnut, almond, walnut). Recommended to grab a cappuccino on the go or stay and have a nice chat with the super friendly owner. Music comes from a record player - very classic!

    Excellent coffee tasting experience and education at this cafe. The owner is very generous in sharing his knowledge about coffee and stories. In terms of coffee, there are lots of methods and coffee beans to choose from. For coffee beginners like me, feel free to ask the owner for his recommendation and let him know your preference. He is sure to provide recommendations that you like. He also shares information on the beans source and the roastery as well. He is also very hospitable. He made sure to turn on the heater even though I came very early and no one else was at the cafe side unit. He also has great knowledge on crystals and has recommended me other shops in town and even where to recharge the crystals. Behind the simple looking entrance lies an amazing coffee experience you will appreciate for ages.

    Tasty coffee and zero waste philosophy, this place is a must visit in Sofia for specialty coffee nerds and for eveybody who want to try something different. The "milk"is homemade from bulgarian hazelnuts, almonds and walnuts. I love the mix of them in a good cup of flat white! You can grab a bottle of coffee beans for some home xexperience too! Plus, the owner Nikola is very kind and would love to tell you all about specialty coffee and the origins of the ones in Urban Embassy.

    Fantastic coffee spot! The barista was super friendly and very knowledgable of coffee, the various brewing methods, and homemade nut milks. We were fortunate enough to try a few different brewing methods and coffees, all were very tasty 😋 Definitely the best coffee experience in Sofia 👌

    Fantastic experience. The owner and staff are extremely friendly. Selected 2 different beans for siphon brew - amazing. The brownies next door were perfect with each coffee. Highly recommend

    Found this place on our final day in Sofia, and after a few disappointing coffees we were so glad we found it! The owner, Nicola, is very friendly and was more than happy to suggest coffees to us, including a delicious fermented coffee done on the siphon (which was also very cool, sad I didn’t get a picture of it). We also had a nice conversation with Nicola and the other person working there about various things, and they even recommended some coffee spots in Plovdiv (where we were heading to next). Just before we left we also had a flat white made with their own almond and walnut milk blend - this also tasted amazing. Overall, a great coffee experience and one of the friendliest places we visited in Sofia. Благодаря ти много to Nicola and the team :-)

    I'm in love. As a coffee lover I always try to find new and sustainable places for enjoying coffee. The Urban Embassy is such a place. Beautiful minimalistic interior and exterior design, a store that reduces their appearance to the most important: amazing coffee products. Great concept with high quality products. I fully support their sustainable approach; They're giving you glass carrier's for their products for takeaway. Selfmade plant-based milk is rounding up the whole experience. The super friendly owner's made my stay really enjoyable and pleasent. Thank you for that :) I will step by Urban Embassy again and you should too. PS: No need to talk about the coffee, it was absolutely delicious in taste ❤️

    Loved everything about the place. Super knowledgeable barista who offered us a choice of beans for our coffee. House-made nut milk and coffee served in an edible waffle cup! Sounds like a gimmick but the coffee is fantastic and the cup doesn't alter the flavor. Went back for a second cup a couple of hours later and got a completely different tasting coffee but which was also brilliant. Highly HIGHLY recommend!

    A real gem for coffee-lovers in the very city center of Sofia. The coffee selection is outstanding and the owner is amazing! It's also dog friendly.

    It is a great place to have a veery good coffee. Hidden in the shades of trees and very cozy, be careful to not miss it ;) once you're there, your creativity will certainly unleash. It's great for writers and for conversations with pleasant people. The atmosphere is wonderful :)

  • 5/5 Robin V. 7 months ago on Google
    Best coffee spot in Sofia and it has the service to go with it! What to order? Well to be honest I always get Nikolai to pick for me and it has never fallen short. Get ready for your caffeine overdose!

  • 5/5 Pierre B. 1 year ago on Google
    Super super friendly baristas (perfect English too), they make their own alternative milks (wow!), amazing coffee, delightful little shop. Had a latte with their home-made almond milk and it was spectacular. 🤤

    Urban Embassy in Sofia is a pleasant little coffee spot worth checking out. The atmosphere is nice and laid-back, making it a comfortable place to unwind. The coffee served here is consistently good, and the friendly staff adds to the overall enjoyable experience.

  • 5/5 Marco P. 1 year ago on Google
    Best quality coffee in the area, a must experience for coffee break lovers. Best espresso, as in Naples or better. Friendly staff, zero waste, a n experience.

  • 5/5 Anna Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious coffee! I love the idea for zero waste and that i can use my own cup to go and jar to get coffee for home. 5 stars as well for the nut milk! Cheers for the great job you do!

    Fantastic boutique specialty coffee place in the heart of my hometown. The staff is incredibly caring and everyone who comes here is very open and friendly.

  • 5/5 Теодор �. 1 year ago on Google
    Great atmosphere, amazing specialty coffee and super friendly hosts. Quality is perfect - far better than what you would get from the nearest Starbucks but at a better price. We buy their own blend for home consumption - worth every penny. 100% recommend it to everyone who likes good coffee.

😐 The only nice thing here were beer. Burgers was nothing special. I can say it was just meat and some additional sauce and death green salad in one bread…. I have feeling, that meat was previously prepared and it was microwaved right before they served it.
