What makes a great café in Ciudad Real

The best coffee in Ciudad Real isn't a chain. It's the independent café where the barista dials in espresso every morning, the roastery that names the farm on the bag, the brew bar that takes filter as seriously as espresso. Roasters maps 4 of them.

What to look for: a short menu, light-roasted single-origin beans, a proper grinder behind the bar, and staff who can explain the origin and process of what you're drinking. If a café in Ciudad Real ticks those boxes, it belongs on Roasters.
