01

The café arm of Ukrainian designer Katia Tymoshenko's minimalist fashion brand Katimo, sharing its Reitarska 19A address — you enter the boutique through the coffee shop. It pours solid espresso and is particularly known for matcha (there's even a spin-off 'Katimo Matcha Club'), alongside lemon pie, fruitcake and cupcakes. The quiet courtyard terrace on Kyiv's most stylish street is the real draw; come on a weekday morning and pair coffee with browsing the rails. No reservations — it's a walk-in spot, open 9:00–20:00.

02

A calm, Scandinavian-minimalist specialty coffee shop on Hospitalna Street from the team behind the Franyk chain, built around a philosophy of slowing down and mindful pauses. The light wood-and-concrete space pairs espresso and filter coffee with pastries, plus bookshelves and shared tables that make it a comfortable spot to work or read.
