The Brick Coffee Roastery (Estonia)
Location: Tallinn, Estonia
CafΓ©: Telliskivi tn 60M, 10412 Tallinn, Estonia
On my recent trip to Tallinn, I discovered The Brick Coffee Roastery while walking to the Estonian Maritime Museum to see a real life submarine (also worth visiting).
This relaxed-but-cool roastery and brewbar highlight the best of single origin beans with expert brewing methods. The barista was very kind, and talked me through all of the notes in the available coffees. I picked up a few bags on beans, and enjoyed all of them when made with my V60.
If youβre in the Baltics, head on over, or find them online!
Make it stand out
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
rocket bean roastery (latvia)
Location: Riga, Latvia
CafΓ©: Rocket Bean - Dzirnavu iela 39, Centra rajons, LV-1010, RΔ«ga, Latvia
During a rather voracious snowstorm in Riga, I tucked into Rocket Bean for shelter (and a warm drink. Can you guess the drink� Coffee. It was coffee).
I am overjoyed I discovered this Latvian roaster, as their brews and beans are nothing short of fantastic. Well crafted coffee, and baristas who are knowledgable in regards to guiding you towards the best batch for your tastebuds is a win in my eyes!

Denmark is world-class for coffee shops, so one of their roasters had to make the list.
While it was hard to narrow down, Coffee Collective reigns supreme for me in 2023. They know coffee, and youβd be lucky to get to know them.

DROP COFFEE ROASTERS (SWEDEN)
Location: Stockholm, Sweden
CafΓ©: Wollmar Yxkullsgatan 10, 118 50 Stockholm, Sweden
The Swedish Drop Coffee doesnβt play around with they coffee beans. They are an award-winning roastery, and itβs evident as to why.
Theyβve got choices. They take it seriously. You want something sweet? They have that. More bitter? They have that, too. I was impressed with the amount of knowledge the staff had about their coffee when I went to purchase a few bags.
Even their sit-down drinks are well-brewed. The cappuccino I had was robust, and Iβve always been a fan of their filter coffee. Youβll definitely enjoy the taste of the beans themselves - with or without any milk or sugar!
STOW COFFEE ROASTERS (SLOVENIA)
Location: Ljubljana, Slovenia
CafΓ©: Gosposka ulica 15, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia
I discovered Stow this past summer when I visited the Ljubljana City Museum - and wow. I was not expecting such high-quality coffee while museum-hopping,
Genuinely some of the best beans around, full stop. I picked up three bags before I left, and returned fir multiple pour-overs. The baristas were also very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

vagabond COFFEE roasters (UNITED KINGDOM)

Vagabond was a heavily frequented coffee shop when I lived in Islington.
This industrial-styled coffee shop is cool, and transparently roasts coffee beans in the back seating area. Vagabond use their roasted products in their caffeinated creations, so you can try before you buy.
Bonus - they offer great nibbles in-house (and theyβve always had a gluten free and a vegan option).
Overall, Iβm a fan!
