The cup

Set inside the refurbished Universul Palace, a former 1930s newspaper printing building near Cismigiu Park, Beans & Dots pours over 100 single-origin coffees a year sourced exclusively through The Barn in Berlin. The soaring industrial-chic interior also sells design objects and loose-leaf teas from Companion Tea. A serious multi-roaster concept in an architecturally distinctive space.
