Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world, and in some countries, it is even more popular than alcohol. It is definitely more consumed, which makes it the second most consumed drink after water. This is exactly why many people around the world look for the tastiest coffee that they can find, and indeed, making the best coffee in the world is art. So, what are the places that you should visit if you are an avid coffee drinker? Bear in mind that if you follow the trail of coffee and visit the places that we suggest, you might have the adventure of your lifetime, as not only will you be visiting countries that pay attention to the quality of their coffee, but you will also be indulging in their culture and history, which is really amazing. However, keep in mind that that coffee can increase your risk of high blood pressure, and hence it would be better if taken in a balanced portion. Nevertheless, take a look:
Vienna in Austria
The capital of Austria is one of those places that really do pay attention to the coffee culture. There are so many coffee houses all around the city, and this is one of the reasons why Vienna was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site almost a decade ago (2011 to be more precise). Some coffee houses have been established in the 19th century and they are still working today (such as the popular Cafe Schwarzenberg). If you like coffee and history, and especially those two combined with some amazing Mozart candies, make sure to visit Vienna.
Sydney in Australia
On the other side of the world, there is Australia, and even though you can find literally anything in Sydney, you will most likely find some of the best coffee places in the world. This is exactly why more and more people opt to open their own coffee places and coffee joints. However, one of the most important things here is to find the best coffee roasters in Sydney in order to be able to taste the best coffee bean. The culture in Australia is a bit different though, as you can also have amazing cups of coffee and have them to-go which is a great thing as you can enjoy good coffee on a road trip as well.
Milan in Italy
When you go to Italy, you will have to try their espresso. However, bear in mind that this espresso should be drunk in one single sip, and this is the way to fully experience everything there is in your small cup. If you want the best coffee in Italy, head straight to Milan – not only will you be able to drink espresso, but cappuccino, macchiato and caffe d’orzo as well. If you happen to go there, do not miss out on coffee places such as Orsonero, Marchesi, Taglio and Moleskine Cafe.
Istanbul in Turkey
Turkish coffee is one of the most unique drinks in the world – very strong, sweet and extremely black. Yes, it very much channels those 1001 Nights. In order to correctly prepare Turkish coffee, you need skill and precision, and there is a specific order of tasks that have to be done in order for the cup of coffee to be ready for consumption. This is such a powerful drink that stayed in countries that have been under the Ottoman Empire, such as Greece and Serbia, so you can even go there and ask for domestic coffee – you will get a cup of Turkish coffee (with some small alterations).
Seattle in Washington, USA
Seattle is the place where Starbucks originated, so it’s not a shock that it is on this list, as they obviously know about coffee. If you are a coffee snob, you can go there to the first Starbucks ever, located in Pike Place Market. However, if you like something more indie, you can find a plethora of places that really offer good coffee. What is good is that you can also find beverages made out of coffee that are very tasty, high-quality and quite Instagrammable. Therefore, if you want your Instagram to explode with amazing cups of coffee and even better landscapes (as Seattle is indeed a beautiful city), this is the place to go.
The trail of coffee can literally take you anywhere in the world. If you want to visit some of the best places where coffee is produced, you can google that as well, and head to Colombia or Brazil. But if you want to enjoy your cup of coffee while overlooking some beautiful cities, then these five should do the trick!

One of my favorite drinks! While I was in Iraq I got to try some Turkish coffee. It was amazing although I do like cream in my coffee. My favorite type is Cuban coffee. Yum.
I am a big fan of coffee. I have heard about Turkish coffee being really good. To be able to drink coffee from the locations you’ve mentioned would be a great experience.
If I ever get to visit any of these 5 places, I would not leave until I taste their local coffee. I am sure it will be an experience my palate will never forget!
Nice list of coffee hot spots. I’m happy to see that Sydney made the list!
My friend used to work at Starbucks in Seattle! She’s obsessed with coffee and knows EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING about it!!! She needs to go to all of this cities and check out their coffee, ASAP!
I love drinking coffee and I love to try from different places to know the difference in taste. Would love to drink at the places you’ve mentioned above someday.
Italy has some of the best coffee in my opinion, very bold! I will have to make it to Istanbul Turkey one day. I heard great things about their coffee too. Thanks for the great post!
I miss Seattle! There were a million “third place” coffee shops to get a drink, do some work, and meet people. It’s definitely about more than just the coffee. Thanks for this list. I definitely hope to visit some more of these places in the future!
I don’t have to travel to those places to get the best coffee, I have some in my kitchen ha ha. Seriously though, I would love to visit all these places to explore the culture.
I used to not be able to drink coffee as I would get stomach cramps. But when I went to Japan I decided to try some there and I had no problems! I still drink Japanese coffee back in Canada. I wonder how my stomach would do with the coffee in these other places!
Wow, maybe you can add Indonesia in your list. During my last visit, I was in love with their coffee.
Of all the places mentioned, I’ve tried the ones in Istanbul, Milan, and Vienna. And among the three, I preferred the one in Milan. It has a smooth, yet strong taste. Another place I love to get my caffeine fix is in Prague. They’re not only known for their yummy beer, they also have nice coffee. 🙂
I love coffee and would definitely love to try coffee from these places.:) 🙂 🙂
Love coffee – I’ve been to all these places and I agree, incredible coffee. However, a lot of really amazing coffee can be found in just random European villages or in little south american towns. Its my drug of choice lol.
Well, I’ve never been to any of these places. Looks like I have to add them to my list!
Turkey and Italy have one of the best coffee for sure. It was interesting to find Sidney in the list, I had no idea it might have an important coffee culture there.
Wow this Banana Pudding looks yummy I can’t wait to visit this in Manila
Coffee lover here and I will totally visit this place someday to taste their yummy coffee.
I always get coffee when I travel. I think Dublin had great coffee. I would like to try it in Seattle!
Coffee is life for me! Each time I travel to places, I make sure to pay a visit their known coffee shops.
This could not have come at a more perfect time. I am 30 and literally tried coffee For the first time ever this week. Wish I had coffee when I went to Seattle!
I’ve heard about the great coffee in Seattle! Unfortunately, I never got over to Milan when I was exploring Italy to testify to that one.
Those sound like some great places to visit and to try coffee. I would love to visit Vienna someday!
I am not a coffee drinker, but my friend loves the stuff. I shall wing this her way for sure xx
I want to try the coffee of Milan in Italy because it looked yummy!Thanks for the lists.
i would love to have a cuppa in Vienna. A 19th century establishment still serving coffee? Love it!
Hhhhmmmm….have you been to Mbale, Uganda? Our coffee here is one of a kind. I mean, it’s only the kind from Brazil that can even get closest to us.
Now this is my type of post! I love coffee so much and I love coffee in Italy!
Amazing cups of coffee are everywhere! Normally each city and town has one staple that is online or people talk about. My favorite is coffee in Italy.
One thing I like to do when I arrive anywhere is to try their coffee and treats. You just never know which country might be the winner.
I Love coffee!! I have to have one cup a day in the morning or i cant focus! hopefully ill be able to cross a few of these best coffee places off my list.
I honestly would add all of these to my list JUST because they have the best coffee. Seattle is closest to me and so I am definitely going to start planning this trip!
I used to love coffee! My great grandmother hooked me on it Thanks for the suggestions.
heyyyy! i should save this post for future reference! i am a certified coffee lover and i wanna have a taste of everything you mentioned above…
Great recommendations! For me, my favorites are between Milan and Istanbul Turkey! Great coffee recommendations
Colombian coffee is my favorite! Such a great round up of places!
Colombian coffee is my favorite. I need to check out the coffee in these places!
I don’t drink coffee, but have friends that do. I will have to share this with them.
Man, I love coffee so much. I could make an entire world tour of just stopping at coffee spots. great post.
I am a caffeine addict and Italy is a place which I consider as my second home so yeah I agree with Milan here but Florence also has great coffee. And Seattle is Seattle, no arguments on that.
Oh yum! I’d love to try all these different coffee flavors. I’m sure each is deliciously unique.
What a discovery! I have always heard Australia housing some of the best coffee places. It’s good to learn where else we can find great coffee!
Wow so many fab suggestions here, I love to go around tea and coffee houses, as my hubby loves his coffee x
I am a big fan of coffee and so is my eldest daughter. When we visited Vietnam, we absolutely loved their coffee especially the Cafe Sua Da (Vietnamese iced coffee).
This is the perfect post for every coffee lover.
I’ve tried coffee from and in all of those places and I still love my French Roast coffee. I must admit I don’t drink coffee as much anymore.
We love drinking coffee. wow so many coffee lovers here with this post. interesting to read.
