This cozy coffee shop on Lyalin Lane only brews specialty coffee, the highest-quality Arabica. Cooperative Chorny buys its beans directly from Ethiopian, Colombian, and Guatemalan farmers It was also one of the first shops in the city to do its own roasting. No syrups or additives are offered here, but there are several black coffee brewing methods to choose from: filter, pour-over, or Aeropress.
Bloom-n-Brew offers a limited coffee menu, but each item is thought out in detail: the coffee shop's team controls the entire process from procurement to brewing, and they recently opened their own roasting shop.

In three years, ABC Coffee Roasters has evolved from a small coffee shop on Pokrovka Street into one of the major coffee chains in Moscow. Their main specialization is black coffee; in addition to the pour-over and Aeropress methods, they use smart Gina and Trinity devices that can regulate the grind, temperature, and amount of water. Besides coffee, you can also choose from a selection of teas, or order a croissant or dessert. Loyal customers will quickly notice that the coffee and tea lists on the menu are frequently updated.
