About Coffee-Lab
Coffee-Lab is one of the very few cafés in Tirana that roasts its own coffee, and the large room with a wall of windows is filled with the smell of roasting beans. The team are true coffee lovers and happy to explain the process, from green beans to cup, which makes it a good stop if you are tired of the city’s dark espresso. There are cakes and pastries to go with it. You will find it on Rruga Nikolla Tupe, a short walk from Blloku and the Pyramid.
