A new ranking highlights the best coffee shops worldwide, with Czech and Spanish-based coffee shop chain The Miners securing an impressive 40th place. The ranking aims to identify the finest coffee shops across the globe, using a comprehensive set of criteria to ensure a thorough and fair assessment.
The Miners is a coffee roasting company and café chain operating in the Czech Republic and Spain. The first coffee shop opened in March 2019, and since then, the company has continued to grow and expand—from a single shop on Slavíkova Street in Prague to multiple locations, including in Barcelona, Spain. The Miners also runs a bakery offering freshly made pastries and desserts, its own roastery, and coffee shops in coworking spaces and offices.
The Miners recently opened a new location in Vienna, with the official launch party set for 1 March from 10 am. This 19th location marks the debut in the Austrian capital, right in the heart of the city next to the famous Naschmarkt.
The world’s best coffee shops are determined based on public and expert ratings. The assessment criteria include coffee quality, customer service, sustainable practices, ambience, and overall atmosphere. The final results are presented as a ranking from 1 to 100. The top 10 features cafés from Australia (three), the USA, Austria, Norway, Singapore, France, Malaysia, and Colombia. Coffee enthusiasts from around the world are invited to vote online for their favourite cafés based on personal experience.
