Relaxed journey along the city

The place somehow reminds of The Barn in Berlin, though yet doesn’t have its own coffee roasting. Here you can not only eat and drink a cup of coffee or tea, but also just sit, spend time with your friends, relax flicking through the magazine Kinfolk, and listen to the music that here is played on vinyl records. The educational purpose of the café is the popularization of the real black coffee, without syrups, lavender, or marshmallow in the cup. For those who wake up late, breakfast is served until 4 pm. On the menu you can find granola with cottage cheese and avocado, poached eggs on cottage cheese, sandwich with salmon, chicken or tuna, various tarts and waffles. Special attention should be given to cottage cheese pancakes, they are so much popular here that can force the name of the place to be changed. For those who are keen on healthy life style, dishes with spinach waffles are offered; and those who plan a busy day can take a “hearty breakfast” that will provide them with energy until late dinner.
