Highlights of Surf Coffee
The two-storey spot on Solyanka
The Solyanka spot at Street 1/2 is a two-storey space in the historic center, a few minutes on foot from the Kitay-Gorod metro station, according to the chain's page. It is open weekdays 08:00 to 22:30 and weekends 10:00 to 22:30. The upper floor gives more seating than most spots.
Tip: Try the upper floor if the ground floor is full.
The chain's own coffee
The chain's pages mention Surf Coffee Special Blend and single-origin arabica in different variations, and a coffee map lists V60, decaf and beans for sale. The beans are the chain's own. The list changes, so ask the barista what is on.
Tip: Ask for the Special Blend as a V60 to taste it.
Surf culture design
The chain is built on a surf theme, and the Konny Lane spot uses interior pieces from the chain's own Surf Hommie factory in a funk atmosphere, according to its page. A guide describes people who love surfing as much as coffee behind the chain. Look at the boards and merchandise.
Tip: Look at the merchandise shop on the chain's site before you go.
Pastries and desserts
The chain's pages describe a food corner with fresh pastries, unusual desserts and a signature Surf Coffee drink at several spots. The range varies by spot and day, so check the counter. It suits a light bite with coffee.
Tip: Ask what is freshly baked that morning.
Spots on Myasnitskaya and Novy Arbat
The Myasnitskaya 16 spot, opposite a university building, and the Novy Arbat 7a1 spot are open weekdays 08:00 to 23:00 and weekends 10:00 to 23:00, according to the chain's pages. They are near the Boulevard Ring and the Arbat. Use a map to choose one on your route.
Tip: Check the weekend opening, which is 10:00 at most spots.
A big network
A business directory lists 25 addresses in Moscow, and the chain's home page lists newer ones, so the network is large and growing. Hours differ at office-area spots, some of which close at weekends. Confirm your spot before you go.
Tip: Check the spot's page for its weekend hours.

Spots open in the morning, at 08:00 on weekdays and 10:00 at weekends, and close at 22:00 to 23:00, so the day moves from commuters to evening visitors. The crowd and interior vary by spot, and no details were verified.
History of Surf Coffee
Surf Coffee is a surf-themed Russian coffee chain, which a guide describes as one of the larger Russian chains and one that loves surfboards as much as coffee. A page for the Konny Lane spot says a small stylish spot was built there in 2018 and has served the chain’s Special Blend and single-origin arabica since.
The Myasnitskaya spot is described as the first spot of the Surf Coffee x G-Spot format in the capital. A business directory lists 25 Moscow addresses, and the chain’s home page lists newer ones on Aviatorov Street and Volokolamskoye Shosse.
The founding year and the owners of the chain were not confirmed in the sources read, so this section is short.

About this guide: AI assistance and accuracy
This guide is created with the help of AI and is based on official sources where available. Mistakes can still happen. Opening hours, prices, rules and other details are given to the best of our knowledge as of the date shown and can change without notice. It offers general recommendations only, not professional, legal or travel advice. Please confirm important details with the official source before you travel; you are responsible for your own plans and decisions.
International sanctions affect payments between Russia and many other countries. In practice, cards issued in the EU, the UK, the US and several other countries often do not work in Russia, Russian cards usually do not work abroad, and some booking platforms, airlines and payment providers limit or suspend their services for Russia. The situation changes frequently. We do not give legal or financial advice, and this site does not encourage anyone to break or circumvent sanctions. Whatever you plan, you are responsible for following the laws and regulations that apply to you, including those of your country of residence and citizenship. Many travelers still organise their stay lawfully. It is worth asking your bank or payment provider what is currently permitted, contacting hotels, tour operators and carriers directly about the payment methods they accept, and checking which services are open to customers from your country. Clarify payment, cancellation and refund terms before you commit to a booking, and keep your plans flexible. Partner links on this site may not be available in every country, and prices, availability and rules in our guides can differ from what you see when you book.Paying for your trip: please read
