Craving Cluj-Napoca’s indie brews? Follow this self-guided crawl of tucked-away cafés and sun-dappled courtyards.

1. Dawn Roastery Kick-off

Start at a micro-roaster just waking up; SecretLocale tips you on the single-origin beans locals queue for.

2. Hidden Garden Flat-White

Slip down an iron gate to a leafy patio few tourists notice—perfect for latte art photos before the rush.

3. Book-Nook Espresso Bar

Browse floor-to-ceiling second-hand shelves while the barista pulls an espresso shot aged in whiskey barrels.

4. Rooftop Cold-Brew Finale

Cap the crawl on a secret roof deck overlooking Cluj-Napoca. Cool down with a house-made cold-brew tonic—on us.

Save this map, skip the chains, and sip like a local.
