A personal atlas of the world's best cafés

The world's cafés,
ranked the right way, by a coffee obsessive.

I've travelled to over 80 countries and sat in more than a thousand cafés. This is my personal system for what makes a great one. I'm not interested in being politically correct. This is how I personally feel when finding the cafe for me — now open for you to add yours.
