As someone who doesn’t drink coffee, I am always on the lookout for good alternatives. But hey, coffee lovers, don’t click away just yet. This place is just as suitable for you.

Finca Chocolate Shop & Café is a small, cozy establishment situated in a popular market square in the center of Sofia. It offers a variety of incredibly delicious hot and cold chocolate drinks: pure chocolate, chocolate with cinnamon, salty caramel, and the famous ceremonial cocoa. In case you’re not familiar, cocoa is rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, and magnesium, all of which are essential for a healthy lifestyle.

Aside from chocolate and coffee, there are also sweet treats to enjoy – brownies, cookies, and other homemade goodies made with seasonal ingredients and in small quantities. During the summer months don’t miss the cold teas, lemonades, cold chocolate, cold brew coffee, and espresso tonic. It’s an excellent spot for a quick stop to enjoy a refreshing and flavorful drink. Furthermore, you have the option to purchase packages of coffee or chocolate to go.

If you happen to be in this area of the city, I highly recommend taking my advice and visiting the Magazinche.com shop, particularly if you’re in search of locally crafted items for gifts. And if you happen to be there on Saturdays, you can enjoy your cocoa cup right after the shopping at the weekly local market on the Roman wall.
