5 Beans | 7.8

Malta, with its rich history and stunning landscapes, is also home to some hidden gems for coffee enthusiasts. During our exploration of the vibrant coffee scene on the island, we stumbled upon coffee bar 5 Beans, a coffee heaven that left us in awe of its diverse offerings. From an exceptional 460 blend to one of the finest and pure iced coffees, 5 Beans proved to be a delightful discovery for coffee lovers.

Upon entering 5 Beans, it became evident that this was not just another coffee bar. The aroma of freshly ground coffee beans filled the air, creating an inviting atmosphere that beckoned us to explore their extensive menu. The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the V60 blend – a coffee experience that transcended expectations. Its robust flavor profile and smooth finish made it a memorable choice for any discerning coffee lover.

One of the most striking features of 5 Beans is its impressive variety of coffee options. From classic black coffees to indulgent milk coffees and refreshing iced variations, the menu caters to every palate. Beyond the conventional choices, 5 Beans also has some more unique and special options, including turmeric latte and beetroot cacao latte. Each concoction is a testament to the barista’s skill and creativity, offering a delightful departure from the ordinary.

The pure iced coffee at 5 Beans emerged as a true masterpiece. The balance of strong, cold brew coffee with the right amount of ice and a touch of sweetness made it an instant favorite. As the sun beat down on Malta, sipping on this refreshing elixir became a welcome respite, and we couldn’t help but appreciate the craftsmanship that went into creating such a perfectly chilled beverage.

While 5 Beans is celebrated for its coffee, the menu extends beyond caffeine fixes. Chocolate milk enthusiasts will find joy in the rich and creamy chocolate milk offerings, a treat that perfectly complements the coffee-centric selection. Additionally, tea lovers will appreciate the curated selection of teas, ensuring that everyone finds their preferred beverage amidst the array of choices.

Although we were captivated by the coffee offerings, 5 Beans also boasts a selection of sandwiches and snacks. Regrettably, we didn’t have the chance to sample these delights during our visit. However, the presence of diverse options on the menu suggests that 5 Beans is not only a destination for coffee enthusiasts but also a place where one can savor a variety of culinary delights.

5 Beans on Malta is more than just a coffee bar; it’s a haven for those who appreciate the artistry behind a cup of coffee. From the exceptional 460 blend to the pure iced coffee perfection, 5 Beans delivers an unparalleled coffee experience. Whether you’re a purist or an adventurer seeking unique flavors, this coffee heaven invites you to explore and savor the best that Malta’s coffee culture has to offer.
