The guide draws on the 113 specialty cafés and roasters the community has mapped in Kyiv.
Beyond classic cold brew, the cafés worth visiting in Kyiv also pour Japanese-style iced filter (brewed hot onto ice, preserving brightness) and espresso tonic (a double shot over tonic water — sharp, clean, summer-ready). Roasters surfaces which cafés are serving each.
