Laboratorium

Laboratorium is truly a special place. The design alone is worth the visit, a beautiful blend of historic character and contemporary aesthetics, creating a space that feels both unique and welcoming. The coffee selection is exceptional, with a wide range of carefully curated beans and brewing methods to explore. What makes the experience even better is the team: knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about coffee. They take the time to guide you through the different options and help you find something that matches your preferences. A place where both the coffee and the people make you want to come back.

We went in for a coffee on arrival to Cluj and it was genuinely one of the best cups i've had. The interior architecture is a perfect mix of contemporary textural elements which contrast the surrounding historic shell. The coffee itself is bold in its flavour profile, and they explain their process well to you as you get it. The staff seem genuinely passionate about what they do. Further, they offered us suggestions for other spots to dine (and get coffee from) around the city, which was incredibly generous. I can't recommend coming here enough, I wish Iived right beside it.
