Why LOT61 is useful on a Valletta trip
Valletta is compact, which means your coffee stop can be part of your route—not a detour. LOT61 is a strong option when you want a quality coffee reset before you commit to a walking-heavy day.
It’s also a good counterpoint to more ‘classic’ café stops: roastery-style energy rather than a historic pastry-house vibe.

FAQ
Is LOT61 just in Valletta?
The official contact page lists multiple locations, including a Valletta café—so double-check the address you want before you go.
Should I do LOT61 or a more classic Valletta café?
Do LOT61 if coffee quality is your priority. Do a classic café like Cordina if you want a central ‘historic city scene’ moment. In a two-day trip, doing one of each is ideal.
