In the city centre

Coffeeshop Knopes

For coffee purists, Knopes is more than just a coffee shop, it’s an institution. These are grand cru coffees, sourced from small-scale sustainable producers, rigorously selected for their exceptional quality and reduced environmental footprint. Each bean is roasted on-site with unrivalled expertise, giving each cup an incomparable richness and subtlety. Whether you’re a passionate connoisseur or a curious amateur, Knopes takes you on a journey of the senses, where every sip tells the story of masterful craftsmanship.

We particularly recommend their outlet on Avenue de la Porte Neuve! This small and cosy, though sometimes squeezed space offers you the most intimate coffee experience. If you’re lucky, there’ll be a seat at the counter waiting for you and – why not – a ray of sunshine to enjoy your cup on their little terrace?

Café des Capucins

Another institution in the heart of Luxembourg City! Fall under the spell of Café des Capucins, with its elegant, relaxed atmosphere. With its warm wood panelling and contemporary touches, it’s a place where you immediately feel at ease. Each cup of coffee offers an invitation to escape, made with exceptional beans and outstanding craft, whether you choose a full-bodied espresso or a creamy cappuccino. And why not give in to the temptation of a homemade pastry to accompany this caffeinated break – perfect for a gourmet treat.

Coffee Fellows

A German chain well known to aficionados, Coffee Fellows brings a cosy atmosphere to Luxembourg. With its wide choice of classic and original coffees, it’s the perfect spot for a simple espresso to go or a comforting pumpkin spice latte to have in. We’re also crazy for the sweet & salty macchiato – totally decadent and delicious…

It’s clearly the perfect place to take a break between meetings or to grab a coffee before a busy day at work.

In Esch-Belval

Jolt Coffee Roasters

Now it’s on to Esch-sur-Alzette for a caffeinated stopover in a place with a raw, clean aesthetic. This coffee shop, with its walls all shades of black and its industrial ambience, boasts an XXL bay window offering an immersive view of the roasting workshop. Here, coffee is an ever-experimental art, with beans roasted on-site, notably from Guatemala and Brazil, to guarantee freshness and bold flavours.

Whether you prefer a punchy espresso or a smooth flat white accompanied by delectable homemade pastries, Jolt is the perfect embodiment of a new generation of coffee shops, where the sensory experience is just as important as the brew itself… In short, it’s a spot where lovers of speciality coffee will find the perfect balance between cutting-edge design and gourmet experience.

Dalmat Coffee House

Can you imagine a more industrial café? Impossible! Welcome, then, to the most industrial of coffee shops, with its location (the Belval B blast furnace) and its vintage decor (here, the reclaimed Belval worksites with the drums that now serve as tables), all assembled to create a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere.

Dalmat is where lovers of fine coffee come to recharge their batteries. Cold brew or full-bodied espresso, each drink is prepared with meticulous care and quality beans, in an atmosphere that invites you to leave all your worries behind. Shout-out to the library and games collection – perfect for spending quality time with friends. See you there?
