10 Amazing Cafes In Malta
If you need a place to get your coffee fix in Malta, here we have listed 10 of the best cafes in Malta to help you narrow down on your options during your trip:
1. Coffee Circus
If somebody denies the fact that Coffee Circus is one of the best cafes in Malta, we would not be able to hold in our utter disappointment at their tasting palette. Yes, that is how good this place is. If you really think that you are a coffee lover, you would love to be perched on their pretty looking chairs with a cup of hot mocha in your hand while you look out at the endless sea. If you are here during summers, make sure you try out one of their iced lattes that are so good that you won’t be able to have just one! This is the perfect place for a catch-up on some gossip material with long-lost friends because of the intimate seating.

Talk about a gift from the heavens and this coffee shop comes to your mind. In fact, we feel that it is much more than a cafe where one can grab good coffee, it is an experience in itself.

All the intricate, tiny details have been meticulously taken care of and it shows when you sit inside on the pretty furniture and look around. However, the large variety of teas on the menu is going to leave you confounded and wanting to order everything at once. Did we mention how Instagrammable this cafe is? Order one of their tiered food stands with delectable pastries, cakes, and scones and click away to glory!

5. Caffe Cordina
This way founded way back in 1837 and continues to be one of the best cafes in Valletta, Malta even today.

It is located in a historic palazzo on Valletta’s Republic Street – opposite Republic Square and the National Library of Malta and is very easy to spot amidst all the landmarks. It started off as a small little confectionery that took pride in its high-quality preparation and homemade sweets and pastries.
