Best Coffee with a View in Malta: My Search for the Perfect Café
If you are looking for the best coffee with a view in Malta, you’ve come to the right place.
I love drinking an Americano—always with a splash of milk and a sweetener. I also enjoy a good ham and cheese toast and, every now and then, a full English breakfast. Over the years, I have found myself searching for cafés that combine great coffee, delicious food, beautiful scenery, and a relaxing atmosphere. If you have ever wondered where to enjoy a memorable coffee break in Malta, perhaps this series will help you discover your next favourite spot.
How it all began! One of the simple pleasures my wife and I share is stopping for a warm drink after running errands. It does not matter whether it is winter or the middle of summer; there is something comforting about that first hot drink of the day.
More often than not, we pair our coffee with a ham and cheese toast. For it to be perfect, the cheese has to be beautifully melted inside.
The setting is just as important as the food and coffee. Sometimes I want to sit overlooking the sea, while at other times I prefer the peaceful Maltese countryside. On occasion, I simply choose a café because of its warm atmosphere or stylish interior. A great café is about more than what is served on the table—it is about the entire experience.
In this ongoing series, I will review cafés, coffee shops, and breakfast spots across Malta. My reviews are based on my own experience and focus on the things that matter most to me: quality coffee, good food, value for money, service, atmosphere, and photographic appeal. This series is not about criticising businesses. If a café does not appear here, it simply means I have not visited it yet or that it did not leave a lasting impression.
Whether you are a local looking for your next favourite coffee shop or a visitor planning a holiday in Malta, I hope these reviews help you discover some wonderful places.
So, let’s begin.
Step In – Wied iż-Żurrieq
If you are searching for a café with one of the best sea views in Malta, Step In at Wied iż-Żurrieq should definitely be on your list.
We visited at around 10:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning, hoping to enjoy a relaxing coffee overlooking the Mediterranean. The location exceeded our expectations.
The view across Wied iż-Żurrieq is spectacular and, in my opinion, one of the finest places in Malta to enjoy an Americano and a ham and cheese toast while taking in the scenery. Whether you are meeting friends, spending time with family, or simply enjoying a quiet moment on your own, this café offers an unforgettable setting.
