The Dude Specialty Coffee

The warm yellow room of The Dude with a wooden counter and hatch, an espresso machine and shelves behind it, an olive branch painted on the wall, a patterned armchair and dark wooden chairs

The Dude Specialty Coffee sits on Apostol Guslarot street in the Bunjakovec area of central Skopje. The menu is built around espresso pulled from a single origin or a blend, with a daily offer to ask about, and a short hand brew list that covers V60, AeroPress, moka pot and ibrik. Oat milk is available across the milk drinks, and there is matcha, a few teas and cookies alongside.

Bags of El Salvador and Ethiopia beans are sold for brewing at home. The menu also lists whiskey, gin, cocktails and beer, and the shop opens early on weekdays and keeps shorter hours on Saturday. Dogs are allowed.
