Guguță Café, a popular coffeehouse in the historical center of Chișinău, Moldova, was originally constructed between 1967 and 1969 as a restaurant called Noroc. It was later transformed into a coffeehouse in 1976. In 1979, the coffeehouse underwent a reconstruction, featuring a new metal construction and concrete arches. It was renamed Guguță Café in 1981, inspired by a beloved children's book character. However, in 2010, the land beneath the building was sold to a company affiliated with Vladimir Plahotniuc, leading to controversy. In 2018, the Court of Appeal ruled in favor of the new owners, allowing them to demolish Guguță Café and replace it with a multistory building. The planned demolition sparked a pro-democracy protest movement known as Occupy Guguță.
