Like so many other places, Sofia has its fair share of Starbucks and Costa Coffees, but there are still plenty of interesting little local places to try out. In the past couple of years cafes offering home-baked cakes, cupcakes, bread and more have sprung up all around Sofia's city centre. Our favourites offer healthy (well, okay, cakes can't really be healthy) alternatives to the fake cream toppings offered in the old-school Bulgarian cake shops as well as freshly squeezed juices or home made syrups, coffee and tea.
