1. L'Autre Cafe
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 4 reviews
We’re a different kind of coffeehouse. And at the same time, we’re the other coffeehouse, the younger sibling of the oldest coffeehouse in Cluj-Napoca. At only a short walk distance from our roots, from the Insomnia Cafe that’s already part of the city’s contemporary history, we’ve created a space anew, a space seasoned with our matured color palette. We’ve christened it "L’autre Cafe" to indicate the strong bond with our roots, and to highlight the fact that here we’re different. A different insomnia, a new one, in a house and veranda full of stories to tell. So, in this house and on this street bearing a great storyteller’s name, we created a space that honors diversity and all cultures, languages. French, English, German, Arabic, Romanian or Hungarian, you can hear and speak them all here, while having a proper coffee, drinks, a cigarette, in our garden of earthly delights.
