When thinking of a best coffee in Valletta, one wonders if the coffee is the sole decider of that, or if the view, food, location and other factors contribute to that decision. Being a heavy coffee and food lover myself, I always like to know where I might be able to get a good cup when visiting different cities (for a general guide around the Islands, click on the link below).
Knowing where to find the best coffee and brunch in Valletta is essential, with Valletta being the ‘business city of Malta’, and hence this is a list of the best coffee places in Valletta (in this coffee-addict’s opinion).
Cafe Society - Cosy and Chill
A perfect place for an afternoon or weekend meetup with friends, hosting some of the best moments and views Valletta has to offer, all while offering the best seats and vibes - cosy cushions on the steps!
While the coffee is great, the cocktails are even better. This dog-friendly coffee shop is the perfect spot for a chilled outing for those who love a good atmosphere and live music.
