Lot 61 Coffee Roasters

Lot 61 roasts its own beans and supplies them well beyond its own counters, the closest thing Valletta has to a reference roastery for the rest of the island's specialty scene. The Old Theatre Street flagship draws a mix of morning runners finishing a promenade loop and locals heading to work, all pulling from an origin and blend list that reads as genuinely specialty rather than a marketing label.

Latte art stands out often, the head barista known among regulars for the kind of pour that turns a regular order into a small performance. It has become the default answer to where to get serious coffee in the capital.
