Kosmonavtika — Restaurant in Centru Sector

The visit was totally random but I’ll never look back for any other coffee shop.

Kosmonavtika gathered high-quality coffee, with a variety of flavours & blends. Took a cappuccino on oat milk, accompanied by a doppio. Acidity was moderate, which is natural to beans from Central America.

We had enjoyed the experience that much so I returned for another double-shot. This time I’ve got a Rwandan one, which was kindly suggested by Anton. Barista carefully poured finished blast to a cup (not plastic/paper, which is important); a glass of water was presented either. The taste was soft, with below-average acidity, citrus & aromatic wood nuances. I also noted that most of the oils were dissolved evenly (unlike to my first shot since the preparation a bit differentiated), so that it felt as a very distilled caramel with a bit sourness. So far I enjoyed the last one the most (just my preference on taste).

Highly recommend to check out Kosmonavtika to every true...

A true hidden gem in Chișinău! This small and cozy artisanal coffee shop instantly made me and my friend feel at home, welcomed in multiple languages by Daniel and Anton (Данило та Антон). The atmosphere was warm, the specialty coffee was simply the best, and the homemade pies were a delight. And let’s not forget their unique homemade donuts - so good that I couldn’t resist taking a whole box! :)

If you’re in Chișinău and looking for exceptional coffee and great recommendations from Daniel, this is the place to go. Thank you for this wonderful experience!

I had a lovely time at this cafe before heading to airport. The staff was very friendly - kind and patient as I practiced my Romanian. The (coffee) flat white was so good that I ended up ordering two during my visit. The space was quite bright, even with it being a rainy and cloudy day - overall good and chill vibes. I didn’t see any signs and I didn’t ask but it might be a place that is ok to work with your laptop for a bit of time. I really enjoyed this cafe and I would definitely...
