Our story

It all starts with a small cup.

Arbër spent eight years behind espresso bars in Trieste and Milan. In 2019 he came home to Shkodër and opened twelve seats on the Pedonalja, with one Italian machine and one rule: every shot is weighed, and the milk is steamed fresh for each cup.

We roast on Mondays, twelve kilos at a time, and let the beans rest a week before they reach the grinder. The name? In Shkodër, coffee has always come in a filxhan, the small cup. We simply kept it.

The room & the terrace

Twelve seats inside, twenty on the street.

Inside: wood, brass and a bar along the window. Outside, the Pedonalja: tables in the sun from March, heaters and blankets from November.

Good to know

Questions we hear at the counter.

How do I pay for an order?

At the counter when you pick it up: cash in lek or euro, or card. Nothing is paid online.

How soon can I pick up?

From ten minutes after you order. We pull the shots just before your time, so the crema is fresh when you arrive.

What if I’m running late?

Send us a WhatsApp and we’ll wait. If you’re more than 15 minutes late, we make your coffee again when you arrive, at no extra cost.

Do you have plant milk or decaf?

Yes: oat milk and lactose-free milk (+50 L), and a Colombian decaf all day.

Do orders count for the loyalty card?

Yes. Every coffee counts, at the table or ordered ahead. We stamp your card when you pick up.

Can I bring my own cup?

Please do. Any takeaway drink in your own cup is 20 L less.

Is there bike parking and Wi-Fi?

A rack for eight bikes right by the door. The Wi-Fi password is on your receipt.
