Natalia from Moscow

About me I was born in Siberia (never seen a bear outside a zoo though). Since 2010, I’m a happy Moscow transplant, now working as an editor for an Internet company. I soon learned to take for granted all those fantastic things this city has to offer: great theaters, its growing third wave coffee scene, good food (I keep my personal, regularly updated falafel rating), art spaces. ...

LES Moscow

Coffee on the terrace

""LES" in Moscow are serious about coffee. They were one of the first, and are still one of the best. Their terrace might just be one of the cosiest in..."

Okay, first things first: these guys are serious about coffee. They were one of the first third wave coffee places in Moscow, and they still are one of the best. Whether you choose alternative brewing methods (chemex, kalita, v60), espresso, or an espresso-based drink, you will get a damn fine, expertly-brewed cup. LES uses locally roasted beans, and you get to choose from a few varieties.

Coffee is enjoyable on its own, but if you're in the mood for something decadent, there is a range of sweet and savory pastries to choose from (hint: the brownie is devilishly good). They also sell nut butters from local producers (with the cutest-ever labels), so I always have to resist the urge to buy a jar, get a spoon and start eating it right away.

Last but not the least, the place is perfectly located to offer you some caffeine when you need it. Whether you want to sit back and relax sipping a cappuccino after your visit to Museum of Moscow, or looking to grab a cup of joe before you head to Gorky Park — LES is your spot.
