We know this to be true because we live here and spend huge amounts of time and money in here. Probably a little biased but we think it is the very best in the world!

9.Helsenborg- Koppi

A roastery and coffee bar founded by 2 national baristas is always going to be pretty decent and the guys have absolutely nailed it here.

10.Oslo- Tim Wendelboe

A superb spot and the best thing is that through social media they give you a brilliant background guide to how the beans are sourced and the journey the coffee goes on.

13.Antwerp- Caffenation

15.Florence- Ditta Artigianale

You’d expect good coffee in a country that is so well known for espresso. This is the pick of the bunch and in one of the world’s most beautiful cities too.

17.Cardiff – Waterloo

Given that this place has such a focus on tea (try out their huge range for something different) you might expect the coffee to be average. Well it isn’t and if you ever find yourself in Cardiff try this converted butchers shop that is always buzzing./

18.Budapest – Tamp and Pull

Apart from having great branding and one of the best logos we’ve ever seen the coffee in here is spot on. If you haven’t been to Budapest then this alone is a reason to go.

19.Moscow – Double B

You could argue that Russia isn’t in Europe but they play in our football qualifying and the coffee is so good here that we simply couldn’t leave them out.
