Chișinău's cafe scene is dense and firmly centred on Centru, where third-wave roasters and casual coffee shops sit a few streets apart. Raccoon Coffee, including its Coffee Shop & Roastery, and Pasio Coffee anchor the specialty end, with Coffee Monkey, Feeling Coffee and the chain-style Tucano Coffee Costa Rica filling out the everyday options. Crème de la Crème doubles as a patisserie stop for those after cake with their coffee.
