F190 Coffee Store

expertly roasted single-origin specialty coffee

Small specialty shop with clean, consistent drinks. Friendly team and a few seats. Best morning to midday; space is tight.

F190 Coffee Store is a well-regarded specialty coffee shop at Strada Mihai Eminescu 36, Sector 1, Bucharest, open since July 2018 (Mon–Fri 8am–5pm, Sat until noon, closed Sun). It serves espresso-based drinks and pour-overs (V60/Aeropress) using beans from roasters like Sloane, pulled on Dalla Corte machines; roasting has been associated with national champion roaster Bogdan Georgescu. It carries a very high Google rating (~4.9) with reviews praising friendly, knowledgeable baristas, a rotating bean selection, and notably good flat whites. Soy/plant-based milk is available; no real food, though some desserts and retail beans/equipment are sold. The compact weekday hours and tight space point to a professional, coffee-focused crowd rather than a lingering destination, matching the curator's note that it's best morning to midday.
