Opening Time: 8 AM - 12 AM
Price Range: 32 - 87 UAH (1.5 - 3.4 USD)

Lʹvivsʹka Kopalʹnya Kavy or Lviv Coffee Mining Manufacture is one of my favorite cafes in Lviv. This is one of the largest establishments in the area with many seating areas, including an outside garden, cozy interior with wood furniture, and even a cave. Yes, you heard that right!

Lʹvivsʹka Kopalʹnya Kavy is the only coffee mining company where they claim to extract the coffee from the underground of Rynok square right in front of you, hence the cave part.

They are well-known for their freshly roasted coffee beans, which you can also buy from a souvenir shop attached to the café. They also serve a variety of coffees for different occasions, such as Lviv Rainy Day Coffee, For Lovers, etc.

If you go into the cave, you can also order the Flaming Coffee, where they bring out a blowtorch and literally set your coffee on fire. Nothing wakes you up like a fire in front of your face!

Other than freshly brewed coffee, they also have a small breakfast, such as granola, and pastries like cheesecakes and strudels, to go with your delicious cup of coffee.

If you are looking for a nice, clean, cozy place to sit in the morning or for a bit of relaxing time during the day, Black Honey has many cafes scattered around the city center, so be sure to check them out.

Svit Kavy used to be a hidden gem in Lviv. Now that everybody knows about it, it has become less of a secret. However, if you are looking for a cozy space to sit with a book and enjoy a cup of coffee either inside or outside, Svit Kavy is still a good option.

It gets crowded fast, though, so I would recommend you go in the morning for a cup of coffee to beat the crowd. They serve all kinds of coffee and pastries, as well as breakfast, a delicious Belgian Waffle with salmon, bacon, and more.

The interior of Svit Kavy is very cozy with wooden furniture and warm lighting, which is perfect for both summer and winter. It also has an outside seating area with a view of the alleyway of Rynok Square, Lviv Latin Cathedral, and the beautiful Chapel of the Boim Family.

Virmenka is another small, cozy, authentic-looking cafe that serves a great selection of coffee and a ton of pastries to choose from. The cafe is also centrally located right in the middle of Lviv city center, making it a great stop for a quick cup of coffee in the morning.

One of the best things about Virmenka is how cheap the coffees are here. You can get a great cup of coffee for only 1 - 2 USD! That is not easy to come by in the city center of Lviv.

The place is a little small, with an even smaller outside seating area, but if you come early enough, you should have no trouble finding a place to sit. Virmenka is a great place to sit outside with a cup of coffee and read your favorite book or watch people walk by.

There is nothing quite like the atmosphere of the Viennese Coffee House. With its wooden furniture, giant drapes across large windows, and a portrait of Franz Ferdinand, the Emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, walking into the café almost feels like walking back in time.

They serve a wide selection of coffee (Viennese-style, Eastern-style, and Tallinn-style, etc.), milkshakes, and hot meals, making it a great place to drop by for just a cup of coffee or lunch/dinner.
