Europe Bulgaria Sofia Cafes

Overview

Cafes The guide was updated: 2023-10-27

Cafes are aplenty in the Bulgarian capital, many doubling as bars in the after-hours. To people-watch, head straight to Vitosha Boulevard and savor a coffee in one of its many establishments with terraces and outdoor seating. Another area teeming with cafes is the central Oborishte. Organic and vegan trends are on the rise, and many cafes that popped up in Sofia in recent years serve as solid testament.

Villa Rosiche

Villa Rosiche

Villa Rosiche is a longstanding establishment, the go-to place for some of the finest desserts in Sofia. Sweet-lovers will certainly rejoice at the sight of its dessert menu, and for those who prefer savory, there are several varieties of fresh croissants with cheese and vegetable fillings.

Art Club Museum

Art Club Museum

This café is located just behind the Archaeological Museum. One of its main draws is the spacious, airy outdoor seating area. The cafe serves light snacks, sandwiches, salads, pizza, and some substantial foods. Alcoholic drinks and cocktails are on offer.

Tea House

Tea House

This vegetarian cafe cum tea house has much to offer in the way of food and tea varieties. Try the healthy wholewheat pizza, vegan kebab, or opt for a lighter salad. The desserts are a highlight - the raw cake and chocolate truffles are not to be missed.

Social Cafe Bar & Kitchen

Social Cafe Bar & Kitchen

One of the newest additions to the capital's cafe scene, Social Cafe Bar & Kitchen is a hip young establishment that offers some unusual flavor combinations. Pizzas served here are done the right way (thin crust), and the menu features many elevated Mediterranean classics.

Rainbow Factory

Rainbow Factory

Small, cosy cafe with a modern air to it, the Rainbow Factory serves solid sandwiches and food, but what keeps customers coming back for more are, beyond doubt, the incredible desserts served here. Serves set breakfasts and specialty coffees, rumored to be of rather high quality.

Supa Star

Supa Star

It's all about the soups (and sandwiches) at this homely, centrally located cafe. Soups come in many light and hearty varieties, which includes vegetarian and vegan options. Soups vary by day and location, but some flavors include cream of broccoli and spinach, pumpkin, fish, and many more.

Ciccione Panini Bar

Ciccione Panini Bar

The Ciccione Panini Bar offers a wide range of Italian-inspired light meals and snacks. In the summer, the courtyard-like covered seating area is ideal for a quick lunch break or even an evening glass of wine. The cafe operates on a self-service basis.

Memento Cafe

Memento Cafe

The cafe's location on the main pedestrian boulevard and the cushy outside seating area makes it a perfect place to shoot the breeze and people-watch. Come for coffee or tea during day time and excellent cocktails at night, when guest DJs play groovy sets.

Confetti

Confetti

Far not the only ice cream shop in town, Confetti does stand out for the quality and freshness of its ice creams and the impressive variety of flavors. There are definitely plenty of desserts to choose from, including cheesecake, tiramisu, and other cake varieties.

Before & After

Before & After

The cafe's charming Art Nouveau interior is an attraction in itself, and the varied food and drink menu only adds to the establishment's appeal. The cafe is adjacent to a cabaret, and tango sessions are held every Sunday at 6pm. Located in the central Oborishte area.
