    This has a potential to be a really good place to work. Fast WiFi and spacious. There is only one large problem that I could see, and it is the problem with most cafes in Albania. The music is too loud and is the same music that is played everywhere else (fast dance and hip hop). In a place that is geared toward work, the music should reflect that also. A switch to a lower volume, easy listening variety would go a long way in creating the environment that this establishment is apparently trying to create.

    I saw a picture of a latte that was well done with a tulip and saw the reviews stating that the coffee was good so thought it was a specialty coffee shop. Not at all. If you want specialty coffee, do not come here. Edit to add the price of the latte which was 220 ALL, so quite expensive. I also take out a star because a couple that was there before me didn't get their order (coffee) whilst I had the time to drink my coffee and leave. The atmosphere is nice and the server was polite.

    My second home in Tirana. My very good friend and best teacher Enxhi shown me the place when I wanted to buy her coffee: "Okay, but not here." and then she lead me to Destil. Since then till my departure from Tirana I was here at least 3 times per week. Its a great place for work (can be a bit loud but common) and to get a drink after work. Also every week they have a screening of mostly short Kosovian films from Prizren festival. For me Destil is an absolutely essential part of my Tirana experience and I will come back. Moreover they have actually nice playlist, and I love the Saturdays dj sets that are actually only full album plays. Go there and have a nice day. Treat yourself a bit. The people are great and that makes the place. 💗 💗 💗 💗 💗 💗 As a prove I add a few photos of me and my friends enjoying time here.

    I really like the atmosphere and the food they make, the open toasts, carrot cake or their jam tart. Service is a little late sometimes but it's ok. I often go there for brunch with my friends, they offer different kind of coffee and the design inside is really fancy. We have also organized this workshop with my team there and it turned out really well, great food, great organization and good people.

    I thought it would be a calm coworking space, as it is known, but it turned out completely different. The music was loud and it was impossible to concentrate, like any other place in Tirana. Such a bad experience!! Do not recommend it!

    A true vibey space for coworking as well as a cafe and event center featuring up and coming artists. Explore all the nooks and crannies, including the bathroom cellar. The sad part is in around six months they will be moving to a new space.

    One of the hippest places I've found in Tirana. Destil is a good place to work remotely with a cup of coffee or have an after-work cocktail. Keep an eye on their events as well - I went to a movie screening here and made some new friends.

    This is not a coworking space. Music is blasting like any other cafe in Tirana.

    Beautiful cafe located in Tirana center. Great coffee and delicious desserts. We got the brownie which was a great treat! The staff is very friendly and helpful and also you have many seating options. You can pay with credit card.

    Very good presentation and spatious room. Equipped with microphones, sound systems, projectors, 50+ chairs can fit, in case you need to do a workshop. One thing I didn't like was that you had to enter through the bar in order to get into the workshop room. But overall was a very good experience.

    I've tried many coffee places in Tirana and Destil in my opinion has the best espresso, very helping staff and great activities for cultural and spiritual expansion. It's also a hostel that many tourists choose. You can always find nice people there enjoying their day

  • 5/5 Armando Q. 7 months ago on Google
    I used Destil`s coworking space for 1 week, and the place was great. You really get a good deal for the price you pay, the facilities are really good, comfortable to work and all amenities to make your day easier and productive. Highly recommend this place.

    Nice staff, good beds, great energy. Only miss this public 'living room' where you can meet other guests.

  • 4/5 Liam K. D. 10 months ago on Google
    Really great spot for brunch in Albania. Coffee is good and it looks like it’s open to remote workers or digital nomads etc. the service is good by Albanian standard and the food is very, very good.

  • 5/5 James R. 11 months ago on Google
    We loved Destil. Great place to work (good wifi and desk space) and have a coffee or a drink. Lovely staff + good atmosphere. A must for the digital nomads visiting Tirana

  • 5/5 Yeri 1 year ago on Google
    Comfy place, good food and everyone's got a laptop with them :) Events are held often as well as exhibitions, there's always something happening here. Good vibes. The music sometimes is too loud to work. Good to also spend an evening here.

  • 4/5 Ilse T. 1 year ago on Google
    During my stay in Tirana, this place has been one of my favorites, both the coffee area and the co-working space. Unfortunately, for someone who is not lactose tolerant, there aren't many options to choose from when it comes to drinks. We tried the traditional Albanian pancakes, they were delicious and the chocolate pancakes were the same. The cafeteria manager is very attentive and friendly, but some waitstaff doesn't seem very open to being friendly. Other than that, the Destil team is very active and friendly, and they strive to improve their service.

  • 4/5 Valentina T. 10 months ago on Google
    Cool place with a lot of space and quiet. Many people go there to work or study and there’s plenty of socket even if I haven’t tried the wifi yet. Coffee and food are very nice, they have amazing breakfast-brunch dishes like avocado and omelette or ham and avocado toast. The only thing I would say is the service: sometimes they have menus, other times they say they don’t have it and then you see the waiter walking with it in their hands. From my brief experience in Albania I noticed that you don’t have to expect service as we’re used in other countries in Europe but I still found that detail weird.

    Nice and lovely place to have a good coffe and a warm conversation. I was there for a ceremony of the Dutch week culture in Albania and i sow a documentary. Really nice place.

  • 5/5 Alana C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great coffee. Amazing desserts. Super friendly staff. Stable wifi and you can pay with card.

  • 5/5 Natali B. 11 months ago on Google
    A great place to visit! Matches all the European standards. Beautiful interior design, nice music, polite service, tasty coffee and desserts. Perfect for working with a laptop or simply to read a book here. In the evening would be very nice to arrange here some parties with dj - dear management plz consider it. This can become a favorite party spot of young Albanians and guests of Tirana.

    Quiet, cozzy, able to concentrate on my work. Friendly staff.

  • 3/5 James M. 1 year ago on Google
    Agree with quite a few others on here that the atmosphere of this place is quite nice but for a workplace café it is much too loud inside, even with my own headphones on the music is way too loud. Also agree the chairs are not comfortable at all. Pluses are it's a short walk north of Skanderbeg Square, they serve good drinks and food and have plenty of outlets to plug laptop into.

    Excellent home tea, which has cinnamon sticks, lemon, star anise, and more. It tastes like Christmas smells. ❤️ Was very busy and service was still great! They were hosting an event and had it catered and the food looked and smelled amazing. My teen had the hot chocolate and said it was delicious.

  • 5/5 Andrea P. 1 year ago on Google
    Very spacious nice café. You can work from them and have nice drinks.

  • 4/5 I B. 1 year ago on Google
    Got potential, clean and inviting, with welcoming staff although staff then deserted us. Reasonable range of beers and wines (including some local), just a little noisy but worth dropping by.

  • 3/5 Timon P. 1 year ago on Google
    A very nice looking exhibition space. I wonder how they get bigger works downstairs since there is a small stairs down to the basement where the exhibition takes place. At the entrance it's possible to have a sneak preview, a view from above, through the floor which partly is made of glass. Behind the curtains someone was working, he wasn't really hospitable by only telling us to leave because that part behind the open curtains wasn't open for public, but that actually made me feel like the place was alive and there actually happens something. Especially in comparison with other galleries in Tirana who turned out to be not open at all ... ATM there is an exhibition about a group of women having dinner together and discuss there position in this Society and within the art world as a 'woman being' if I understood well... I would definitely get back if I'm in Tirana to see other exhibitions here!

  • 4/5 Sharon Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place with cool vibe. More like a coffee place than a coworking space. Excellent service but chairs are a little uncomfortable.

  • 5/5 Federico D. 6 years ago on Google
    Very nice, clean, and well places hostel in the heart of Tirana. The staff is friendly and speak English and Italian, and of course, Albanian. There is a quite garden, a small pub, and an area where there are parties sometimes. The hostel offer big rooms with up to 10 beds, but also single rooms at request. Highly recommended !

With its friendly service, welcoming staff, and lively atmosphere, it's the perfect spot to enjoy engaging conversations or memorable date nights. Located in the center of Tirana, Destil offers delicious breakfasts, exciting events, and opportunities to meet new people. Highly recommend it! 💜

    I recently visited Destil Creative Hub in Tirana. I really enjoyed the unique and vibrant atmosphere.The food was on top and very delicious as well as their signature drinks,starting from the fresh lemonades. The staff was very friendly and attentive, making sure you had a pleasant experience. Here you can also spend time working. They even have a co-working space, in the third floor, great for students and workers , on an additional charge for some peace and quite. Destil Creative Hub is a gem in the heart of Tirana.

    "I recently was at Destil and it exceeded all my expectations. The ambiance was charming, the service impeccable, and the food exceptional. I highly recommend trying their Carrot Cake it's a must-try! Prices were reasonable, and I can't wait to return for another memorable experience."

👍👍 🌇 Artigiano is a very beautiful and atmospheric place. There is plenty of space inside and on the summer terrace. There are a lot of beautiful plants in the courtyard of the cafe. 🍕 Menu is varied, here you will find appetizers, salads, soups, and pastas, but we came specifically for pizza. Pizza...
