Skinny latte, espresso, extra shot Americano, decaf soy milk flat white \u2013 whether it gets you going in the morning or keeps you awake during the day, a good coffee is one of life\u2019s simple pleasures. Here\u2019s the Listopedia Bucket List for the best places around the world to get your caffeine buzz on.<\/p>\n

Paying it forward:\u00a0Caffe Mexico, Naples, Italy<\/a><\/h2>\n

For a city that runs on espresso, it\u2019s no surprise the locals place a lot of importance on their daily fix. In fact, if the caff\u00e8 sospeso concept is anything to go by, people believe it\u2019s a basic human right. The suspended coffee idea started in Naples and has since spread across the world. The premise is simple \u2013 you order your coffee but pay for two, meaning someone in need can claim the coffee you bought earlier. Visit locals\u2019 favourite and advocates of this generous scheme, Caffe Mexico on Piazza Dante.<\/p>\n

Culture and caffeine:\u00a0Snickarbacken 7, Stockholm, Sweden<\/a><\/h2>\n

Fancy a side of art with your morning coffee? Head to this all-in-one caf\u00e9, exhibition space and concept store situated down an unassuming alley in the uber-hip Swedish capital. While the stylish white-tiled coffee counter fights for space amid the homeware, antiques and regularly changing exhibitions, a long wooden table encourages fashionable coffee fans to linger over lunch.<\/p>\n

Attention to detail:\u00a0Blue Bottle Coffee, New York, USA<\/a><\/h2>\n

What started as a farmers\u2019 market stand in California is now a small chain of boutique coffee stores stretching from San Francisco to Brooklyn. Much of the kit resembles a school science experiment, and the level of precision observed by the baristas is nothing short of breathtaking \u2013 the team meticulously weigh out coffee, carefully heat the water to the exact temperature and start the stopwatch to ensure the correct brewing times are maintained. Having banned plastic utensils, Blue Bottle Coffee champions Japanese glassware as the perfect vessels for brewing their insanely good coffee, which is packed and sold in compostable bags.<\/p>\n

Vintage chic:\u00a0The Vintage Emporium, London, UK<\/a><\/h2>\n

Home to modern art galleries, fashion-forward boutiques and up-to-the-minute music venues, Brick Lane is undoubtedly one of London\u2019s top hipster haunts. But if you fancy a break from 21st-century pleasures, spend an afternoon at The Vintage Emporium \u2013 a Victorian-style tea room that shares its space with a treasure trove of clothes, furniture and ornaments from yesteryear.<\/p>\n

Sheer opulence:\u00a0Cafe Confeitaria Colombo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil<\/a><\/h2>\n

With enormous jacaranda-framed mirrors from Belgium, stained glass from France and colourful tiles from Portugal, Confeitaria Colombo has been paying homage to the grand art nouveau cafes of Europe since the early 1900s. The food and drink offering however, is distinctly Brazilian \u2013 order a cup of strong coffee and feast on the popular deep-fried pastry-based street food salgados.<\/p>\n

Strangers\u2019 Reunion:\u00a0Singapore<\/a><\/h2>\n

Receiving a flat white finished off with a milky swirl is nothing new, but the growing latte art movement takes coffee creativity to a whole new level. Three-times Singapore barista champion Ryan Tan is leading the way in Asia, and has returned from this year\u2019s World Latte Art Championship with a host of new ideas \u2013 check them out at his Strangers\u2019 Reunion cafe, which has recently expanded to premises next door on Kampong Bahru Road and will soon be serving dinner.<\/p>\n

Coffee with legs:\u00a0Cafe Bombay, Santiago, Chile<\/a><\/h2>\n

Like it or loathe it, the cafe con piernas scene continues to thrive in the Chilean capital. Literally meaning \u2018coffee with legs\u2019, these cafes play host to a male-dominated clientele who enjoy having their wake-up espresso delivered by scantily clad women. It\u2019s part of the country\u2019s culture and, if you want to experience it for yourself, Cafe Bombay (Calle Teatinos 273) is the best place to, erm, take in the view.<\/p>\n

Get an education:\u00a0Market Lane Coffee, Melbourne, Australia<\/a><\/h2>\n

Fancy yourself an expert home-brewer? Learn the art of preparing barista-quality pour over, Aeropress and plunger coffee with the Market Lane Coffee team, who hold classes at their Prahran Market and Queen Victoria Market stores. Alternatively, take part in a hands-on roasting class and attend one of the regular cupping sessions, where blind-tastings, aroma assessments and plenty of slurping and spitting will hone your coffee palate in no time.<\/p>\n

Sub-zero sipping:\u00a0Chillout Cafe, Dubai<\/a><\/h2>\n

If you can\u2019t stand the heat, get out of the desert. Not only is Chillout Cafe the first ice lounge in the Middle East, it is the first ice lounge in the world to serve hot beverages. So wrap your fur-lined gloves around a cup of joe and warm up from the inside out. Pull up an ice chair, admire the ice sculptures and get to grips with the -6\u00baC temperatures.<\/p>\n

Feline fix:\u00a0Nekorobi Cafe, Tokyo, Japan<\/a><\/h2>\n

Would you like some Sugar with your coffee? And no, we don\u2019t mean the sweetener. We are of course referring to the Sugar the cat, who is according to Nekorobi\u2019s website the boss of the felines at this cat-themed coffee house. The house rules are simple, order your coffee and find a spot among the 13 resident cats to enjoy it. Toys encourage human-cat interaction and you can take as many pictures of your new-found friend as you please. Apparently it\u2019s some people’s idea of a purr-fect pastime. We think it was to be seen to be believed.<\/p>\n
