What Cypriot coffee is

Finely ground coffee boiled in a small pot, served thick.

Cypriot coffee is listed as a coffee in the Cyprus guide, where the index tags it espresso. The index uses those labels to make an unfamiliar menu legible. What it cannot tell you is how this particular kitchen seasons, fries or plates the dish, so leave room to ask.

Cypriot coffee: common questions

What is Cypriot coffee?

Finely ground coffee boiled in a small pot, served thick. It is listed in the TasteBridge Cyprus guide as a coffee.

How much does Cypriot coffee cost in Cyprus?

Expect the budget band: usually under US$8. Prices move with the city and the venue, so treat this as a planning figure rather than a fixed menu price.

Is Cypriot coffee vegetarian?

Cypriot coffee is not tagged vegetarian in our data, because the tag is aimed at dishes rather than drinks. A plain black coffee, tea or fruit drink usually contains nothing animal-based, but milk, cream, honey, egg white or a pre-mixed powder can change that, so ask what goes in the cup.

Where can I try Cypriot coffee?

Our index lists it across Cyprus, so it is not tied to one address. Ask locally which version is served at breakfast, lunch or late evening, because the same name can cover different presentations.
