Are you a lover of coffee and sweets? You will find out that Romanians are too. The coffee culture is increasing in Bucharest especially being represented by speciality coffee and we give you the opportunity to test some of them, and to sample cold brew or hot coffees that we love. Ofcourse, we will not forget about sweets and we will stop and eat at least three types of traditional or famous sweets for our city: a traditional sweet "coliva" (rare to buy, that we cook mainly for funerals), an invented cake Joffre (made at the beginning of the 20th century) and a french eclair (yes, they are famous, among the best in Europe). Between tastings, you will visit architectural landmarks and find out interesting stories about how coffee was introduced in Romania and how we suffered without it during communism and also stories of how we like our sweets or how we cook them. Expect a gift at the end!

Bucharest is located in the Southern Romania. It is the country’s biggest city, with 2.2 million inhabitants (2012). It was first documented in 1459 AD and inhabited since 500 BC. Bucharest is the Capital of Romania since 1862 AD. It has an elegant architecture built in the period between the two World Wars, reason for which it used to be called the Little Paris. The legend says that the name Bucuresti (Bucharest) comes from a shepherd who founded the town on the Dambovita river, whose name was Bucur (this means in Romanian happiness). The name Bucharest could also come from the name of the beech forests – Bukovie, other sources link the name of the city with the Albanian name – bukureshti – which means “it is beautiful”.
