7 Best coffee shops & cafes in Malta – Find “Lot 61” if you are a coffee lover!

If you like coffee and look for a good one in Malta, I would recommend you find a brand name “LOT61”.

This is a local coffee roasting factory that also has shops and delivers fresh beans to some cafes.

I wouldn’t say that I am a huge fan of coffee, but I enjoy coffee every morning with a Moka pot and sometimes outside with friends, and believe I can still distinguish the taste. :p

Today, let’s learn about the brand LOT61 and I will show you where you can get this Lot61’s coffee.

What’s “LOT61”?

“Lot Sixty One Roasters” which is originally a roaster has two shops/cafes in Valletta and St.Julian in Malta.

They say that their coffee is from all over the world and they buy the beans when they are still green.

The selected beans are roasted in their local factory and this makes the best quality coffee beans.

Two shops only? If you think that, don’t worry.

Actually, the coffee from LOT61 is used in a lot of coffee shops and restaurants in Malta.

This brand is even recognized as “The 50 Best Coffee Shops In Europe” and is loved by coffee lovers.

Firstly, you cannot miss the original Lot Sixty One Coffee Roasters shops in Valletta and St. Julian.

The one in St. Julian is located in a building that has a supermarket and a famous restaurant “Manouche”.

2. Kyoto – Japanese Bakery｜Sliema

“Kyoto – Japanese Bakery” became famous for their “melon bread” which is a popular type of pastry in Japan. – shapes like a melon but does not taste like a melon. x)

These days, they are selling more variety of pastries and even Japanese dishes and becoming more popular.

If you are a fan of some Japanese foods, you should try out Kyoto bakery with the best coffee.

3. JAVA breakfast and brunch｜Naxxar

This is one of my favorite cafes in Malta because of their cute interior and awesome healthy bawls!

Such a perfect place to enjoy your weekend morning or brunch.

We have ordered fruit granola bawl and poke bawl. Their chai tea was also super good!

This is the LOT61 sign you should look for!

4. The Newport Café & Bar｜Ta’ Xbiex

A new cafe&bar that is opened in May 2021 in Ta’ Xbiex area.

The owners are from Slovakia and the atmosphere at this place was so cozy and comfortable.

Apparently, they open only Friday and Saturday at night, but the night menu also looked good.

They said the place is usually popular for people who are running or being on the way to work in the morning. Some people come for lunch as well.

Well, I just ordered Chai Latte again…. because I am a big fan of chai latte….

But as long as they use LOT61, you can count on them for a cup of coffee.

For those who wanna have a chat in a cozy quiet cafe/bar or those who wanna enjoy reading with a nice cup of coffee in the morning, this place is recommended.

5. Emma’s Kitchen｜San Gwann

Emma’s Kitchen is another cute cafe that I like.

This place is always lively and busy with friends, couples, and families.

Their drink menu and food menu looked very healthy and it can be recommended for Vegetarians as well.

I got my favorite food Falafel Salad, and we shared Halloumi cheese.❤︎

6. Olive 3｜Birkirkara

Always filled with people and looks busy! It is located next to Homemate – a big furniture shop and I guess people come and have a cup of coffee after the shopping.

Not only do they offer coffee of LOT 61, but also they do have such an amazing variety of food menu! 😍

Because of that, it takes looots of time for me to decide what I order and makes me feel I am coming back here again for sure

During lunchtime, we ordered a Salmon salad with Lemonade and Pistacchio Burrata Pasta with iced coffee.

Another time when we went during cafe time,

We got a Chocolate cake and salt & caramel cake with Chai Latte and chocolate mocha.

They have many cafe menu too!

The inside is filled and coloured by green, and it has such a cozy atmosphere that I liked. ❤︎

Aaaaand, there is a cute dog in this cafe!

7. Preti Cafe

Great news for those who are in Gozo! You can also find them in the central square of Victoria.

Since there are many other traditional & old coffee shops and restaurants in that square, I have never seen any locals having a cup of coffee in this shop.

We have decided to try out this new-looking cafeteria as we knew they have good coffee – though I ordered a chai latte again… :p

Try out the best coffee in Malta!

Every cafe that offers LOT61 looks modern and trendy, and you can actually find them in different areas of Malta. So I think wherever you go, you can just drop by and enjoy the best cup of coffee to make your day great. ❤︎

Also, in the most of cafes that I listed above, you can enjoy other delicious drinks and even healthy foods with vegan options, so it does worth visiting them if you are not a big fan of coffee!
