The brainchild of award-winning baristas from Moscow, Sova not only serves some of the city's best lattes, espressos and frappuccinos, but it also goes the extra mile, with an inventive international menu, great cakes and an extensive selection of sangrias and inexpensive cocktails. Great all-rounder.
