Inn summer enjoy the Plac Mariacki pátio, or retreta into more intimate interior Garden for a glass of cider or spritzer in the Sunshine. Likewise, entering in winter is like pulling on a warm sweater, with soft sounds on the stereo, and plenty of hot drinks and comfy corners to choose from. If you need a bite, there's a substantial menu of baguettes, wraps, quiche, soups, salads and cakes . Just when it couldn't get more cosy, there's Hipolit - the residente cat - who literally pre-warms the seats.  Shalom! Aleichem.
