Bandit Specialty Coffee

Coffeeshop Bandit in Bucharest is on another level. This is the place for serious coffee enthusiasts, as they exclusively serve beans from the championships. ​I had the chance to try something truly special: a coffee that isn't even farmed. It comes from a bush that produces a very limited amount of beans, making it incredibly rare. After natural fermentation, the coffee has this amazing, funky taste with so many different notes and flavors. ​It was an unforgettable experience. I absolutely loved it. A must-visit for anyone who wants to try some of the best and most unique coffees in the world.

This coffee shop is amazing in everything the owner presents. His hospitality, his kindness, his passion and most importantly his knowledge of how coffee works. Everything is balanced and perfected for the best experience. The coffee is amazing and i recommend getting the coffee from him directly because you will not find these coffee beans easily somewhere else. It has a distinct flavor that is really good. Dont forget the free medical services as i promised.

This is probably my favorite coffee shop in the world. Just outstanding coffee and good music. There is nothing else needed. Relax and treat yourself to world class espresso.

Great flavoured coffee, all the beans are speciality and have won several awards. The barista was super friendly and knowledgeable about the best beans to pair with the different coffee type. The flat white was good albeit a little chilly. A bit more or the pricey side but you get what you pay for… award winning coffee beans. I would recommend overall a good coffee experience

I would like to share with you my experience at Bandit. I believe it’s one of the most remarkable and meaningful experiences of my life, one that somehow helped me discover a passion and, implicitly, develop some skills that have supported me throughout my life up to this point. In 2021, I drank a truly good coffee for the first time — specifically, a V60 at this location. It was my very first encounter with specialty coffee and with this entirely new concept for me. That was the moment I truly fell in love with coffee and realized that it is a real art. I was simply fascinated — from the type of coffee itself, to how you grind it, how you brew it, and how you steam the milk. At the end of that year, I made a list of 22 things I wanted to do in 2022, and one of them was to learn how to make coffee properly. A year went by, and I had forgotten about the list. But then I reached a point where I needed to find a job, and I asked myself: “What are my passions, and what new things do I want to learn?” That’s how I ended up getting my first job in HORECA, and I’m still working as a barista to this day. Today, I came to have a double espresso, and with the very first sip I was reminded of the moment I first discovered you, Bandit. And I want to thank you for the wonderful experience you gave me — and so much more.

Definitely in my top places for coffee so far in Bucharest. Interesting types of beans on offer, high quality, and super friendly staff. 27 Ron for v60 which is higher than most places however it was worth the price. Happy to pay a bit more when something different is offered.

THE PLACE for true COFFEE aficionados. From behind the counter, Cosmin is the perfect host. Years of training and a passion for sharing his coffee knowledge take your experience to the next level. He has curated a selection of artisanal beans that compete on the world stage. My personal favourite was the cortado, made with Yunnan beans (China, who knew?!).

What do you do when you want to try some of the best specialty coffee lots in the world? You go to Bandit. Cosmin will make sure only to prepare the best espresso, lattes and filters using 88+ SCA, competition grade coffees. Today, for me, it was a Manhattan Roasters Triple Fermented Columbia from Jose Giraldo. A great Sidra. Must try!
