Went there in the morning, the pastries was okay nothing special, but the outside interior looks attractive and as it’s one of the oldest cafes in town so I went and tried ☺️ there was only 1 staff working and a lot of people coming in the morning so I guess it might be a bit stressful for her. Anyway, not a bad place to try 😊
Desserts aren’t bad, but coffee is not worth it. The staff were rude and seemed upset to be so busy- but I’m not sure what else they expect working at this location? It was nice but probably wouldn’t come back as there are good cakes elsewhere with better coffee. The atmosphere also was just okay- but their second floor was closed, so perhaps there is more to see there.
Interior is so, so beautiful and cozy. I popped in during a rainy day and enjoyed an almond milk cappuccino with a lovely view of old town. The staff working there were kind and attentive.
The place is beautiful and everything we tried, pastries and coffee, were all delicious. In the ground floor, where it's self service, there was sadly only one person working which resulted to a big line and long waiting times.
People working are so rude and discriminatory, and also not child friendly.
The coffee wasn’t anything special nor the pastries. The line was too big and I honestly believe that self service ain’t working for this place.
Place looks great and the drinks are good too, definitely a must visit, but the service attitude of the personnel working at this coffee was really bad and all grumpy
A great place to sit and admire the protest banners on display outside of the Russian Embassy in support of the brave Ukrainian people.
A police car resides outside... I'm guessing just in case the Russians drag a Ukrainian sympathiser inside for 'interrogation' 👀
The coffee was expensive, but forgetable. The cakes was expensive ok. But I'll take the memories of what I've seen for ever.
Also, I was afraid to use the wifi just in case the Russians were spoofing. Left my phone on airplane mode just in case.
Sprawna obsługa i na prawdę miła. Smaczna kawa i ciasto. Można kupić ciasteczka na prezent. Dania na słodko i słono. Dostęp do toalety. Brak wifi. Po drugiej stronie ambasada Rosji.
Вкусный облипиховый глинтвейн и изумительные тортики. ЕСТЬ БЕСПЛАТНЫЙ wifi!
