Black Honey Specialty Coffee

Hristo Yankov and Lyubomira Todorova co-founded Black Honey in Bansko, Bulgaria, with Yankov running the bar as head barista and Todorova overseeing the shop's creative direction. The cafe brews what it describes as 100% specialty-grade, daily fresh-roasted coffee, rotating single origins from Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Honduras through manual brewing methods - V60, Chemex, and AeroPress - alongside standard espresso drinks. Its signature order is a drink called Black & White, served alongside matcha lattes, hot chocolate, and pastries for customers outside straight coffee. Open longer on weekends than weekdays - 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday against 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. midweek - the shop sits on Pirin Street in a mountain town increasingly known for a specialty-coffee scene beyond its ski-resort reputation. Between the manual-brew menu and the rotating single origins, Black Honey positions itself within that scene as a shop built around brewing method as much as bean sourcing.
