Cafe Coffee shop

👍👍 After two years in Melbourne the wife and I tend to be partial coffee snobs. We do our research and hunt out small independent coffee houses that know their Flat White from their Espresso Macchiato. We were put onto Alef by a local and weren’t disappointed. Like all good coffee shops it’s a little... People often mention coffee, shop, nice, good, friendly, small, staff,

    After two years in Melbourne the wife and I tend to be partial coffee snobs. We do our research and hunt out small independent coffee houses that know their Flat White from their Espresso Macchiato. We were put onto Alef by a local and weren’t disappointed. Like all good coffee shops it’s a little bit hidden and very small but what it lacks in size it makes up in quality. Velvety Flat Whites with a robust espresso flavour served with a smile on pastel saucers. Just head to the Radisson, cross the road and walk down the little alley. It’s on the left. Go on a Sunny Sunday morning and you’ll set up your day just right.

    One of the most surprising and chic cafés I've been in. Small yet comfy, very nicely decorated, artsy place with really cool staff. You can sit inside, but it's a bit cramped or just enjoy the corner tables outside, either way the coffee is top alongside the other (non) alcoholic drinks. Impressed by the fact that they offer cold sparking water alongside your coffee on the house. Cheers for your service!

    A little gem! Not to be missed if you are in the area and love your coffee!! My partner and I got 2 coffees (Flat White and latte), 2 banana bread and also a ginger energy shot. The bill comes to 62lei. You will see that they serve a glass of water/sparkling water with the coffee as well. :) They are very clean, quite compacted and hip. There is a gender neutral bathroom as well. The staff was very helpful and spoke English. He helped us with questions we have around navigating Bucharest. Truly amazing experience. The site also uses minimal plastic, which adds a bonus point. Will return daily for a morning coffee.

    Its a small coffee shop, close to Sf Spridon church, with only a few available spots. Their coffee is quite good. I had a flat white, that was perfectly made. I've tried also one of their desert, but it wasnt what I was expected, but it is only a taste matter. Give it a try if you are in the neighbourhood.

    A cozy coffee shop downtown you don't want to miss. Good specialty coffee ( Madison coffee), friendly people. One of the best flatwhite I have ever had it in town. If you want something sweet, try their cheesecake, you won't regret it. I DID NOT!

    Another spot offering Madison beans and all power to it for that! A small shop but a nice cosy find in the backstreets near some major hotels.

    Small place close to New Spiridon Church, run by a friendly lady. The cappuccinos were tasty and the price was reasonable for the city centre of Bucharest. It's LGBT friendly too 🥰

    Nice hidden place with a bright and cosy interior, good coffee. Flat white is pretty good.

    My favorite coffee shop in Bucharest! Coffee is beyond amazing, I even buy roasted beans to brew at home. The baristas are very nice, professional and friendly, the atmosphere is very cosy and welcoming. Coming here so often, I made friends and it looks like a small community is forming around Alef. Highly recommend!

    Very cute and artsy coffe bar, sweet little corner cafe close to a chruch. We had fantastic iced latte. We were served by super nice staff, who provide us with really good tips for lunch and dinner. Thank you for everything!

    Lovely staff and nice coffee. I’ve only tried out the pumpkin spice latte so far. The lady who made my coffee told me that the syrup they use is homemade and it really tasted great. They are a bit pricy and the size of the cup I had was on the small side. But overall worth it for the quality and experience 😊

    Super tiny but found a cute bench seat outside. Inside seats were taken by students on laptops. Cappuccino was very good. Wish it was a little hotter rather than warm Would come back if ever in the area. Nice walk from the popular park Cișmigiu Barista was nice

    Cute espresso place opposite a beautiful church. Lgbtq friendly too! Great for a little stop off.

  • 5/5 Diana M. 3 years ago on Google
    Miss Ale Espresso treats clients with utmost attention. The staff is really friendly and coffee's outstanding. They're only using single origin beans carefully selected by their roaster, Madison Coffee Collection. You may also enjoy specialty teas (best Matcha latte I've had), Mellow drinks and freshly baked delicious goodies such as creamy croissants or banana bread.

    Klein aber fein, sehr guter Kaffe. Wenn man in der Area unterwegs ist, lohnt sich ein Besuch auf alle Fälle.
