About
Megdanu is the first specialty coffee shop in the city of Blagoevgrad, which is located 1-hour away from the capital Sofia going south towards Greece.
The café location is at a very central junction - you can’t miss it. If you’re going by car there are plenty of public parking spots available around.
The café itself is small on the inside with a few bar seats available but during warmer months there’s also plenty of outside seating available.
What I loved here was the staff. Their dedication to the coffee shines through each drink they make. You can get the usual espresso bar offerings, but also a Chemex if you fancy one. There also are some nice lemonade and fresh-juice options available.
Such offerings and people make me super happy because only a mere 7-8 years ago it was near-impossible to find even a proper espresso outside the capital.
A must-visit if you're in town.
