A good coffee shop with nuances. I'll start with a good one: There is a very tasty casserole, classic croissants, oatmeal porridge from breakfast. I want to highlight the carrot cake separately! An incomparable cake. Good bread, you can get it at a discount in the evening. A huge plus: decaf grain is available! The hall and the restroom are always clean.
Of the cons:
• there is no choice of the volume of drinks
• cocoa is made poorly, with large lumps (however, if you ask to follow this when ordering, they make a good one)
• flies!!! The hall is filled with flies all summer and autumn!
To sum up, this is one of the best coffee shops in the lighthouse. There is always everything you need here, they serve you quickly. You can have breakfast, lunch, and eat a good dessert. There are a lot of people, especially at peak times. The coffee shop is located in an accessible location, has a wonderful view of the sunset side. In summer, we saw off sunsets on the Buns veranda. The coffee shop is worthy of its cool location and its number of customers! The staff is working hard, trying.
The bakery cafe is located next to the National Library of Belarus. Pleasant interior, a variety of pastries and bread, coffee and other drinks. But the service obviously let me down, the girls are not very polite and efficient, they clean the hall badly, you can't wait, they talk through their teeth, they don't answer at all, they just keep silent, the first time I've come across this, they may of course be forbidden to communicate with visitors, but the area itself is very beautiful and expensive and such an unresponsive service. It's amazing.
Everything is perfect! We ordered cakes for the festive event! Wonderful staff, took into account all the wishes and did everything at the highest level! And most importantly - very tasty cakes! I recommend 100%
I liked the food and coffee. The atmosphere is pleasant. The staff is polite, the girls are great, they do well.
Anastasia, the manager, skillfully evaluates the situation and distributes forces, and is generally a pleasant person.
It was our first time in this place, a very good place.Beautiful atmosphere in the cafe, good serving of dishes, polite treatment of guests
And most importantly, delicious coffee and desserts.
If you are in Minsk, be sure to visit this bakery)
We were with friends in Minsk at the weekend. We visited this cafe. I found it in Yandex Maps and I liked it.
We really liked everything: eggs Benedict- one serving is enough for two. Porridge with milk and butter is very tasty. I liked Napoleon too. We ate too much. They also bought cakes for the children, like popsicles, and brought them as a gift. We really liked the cafe, we will come with our family, we will go again.
Overall, it's not bad. But, the service suffers a lot. It all depends on the level of the staff. Apparently there is a huge turnover, constantly new girls. There is either no training at all or very little. Elementary things are not understood and not done. If there are no experienced people in the shift, write it is gone. They're stupid at the checkout, they don't bring it at random.
It's a very atmospheric place, cozy, delicious, with good service. I would like to have a slightly wider range, but it's probably just a matter of demand. I recommend.
Always delicious tea, coffee and desserts. And also very tasty bread.
We also tried breakfasts, cheesecakes and pancakes, they turned out to be just incredibly delicious, while the portions are just huge, keep this in mind)
The pastries are very tasty. Various buns, croissants. But Panini didn't like it very much. I advise you to stop at buns)
I've met a lot of these establishments around the city.
The staff is very nice, especially the barista.
The tea is delicious , small cookies are served with tea , two flavors , thank you , nice
I'll come back again, I liked it
I live in the lighthouse, but I go to Buns from time to time, despite the abundance of bakeries and coffee shops nearby.
I like the assortment, the freshness of the pastries and the establishment itself as a whole. Indeed, from time to time, the service is lame in terms of speed, but the staff tries very hard and works clearly within the framework of a large flow of visitors. They are always polite and courteous, double-checking your order.
Napoleon is here...... the best in the last 10-20 years, I'm coming back for him, and my parents really liked it - I'm taking him on a visit :) ears with butter.... Crispy , very tasty . Mushroom soup and vegetable soup with bacon are very wonderful :) good service, the only thing I don't like is that the tables are super close (like in a canteen)
I really love this network. Delicious coffee, always fresh desserts and pastries, good staff. This is a place where you want to return, I recommend it!
It's a great place.
The interior is bright and spacious, I am glad that there is an outlet near each table, and I am also very pleased with the presence of a letterbox.
A wide range of pastries and desserts.
Polite and pleasant staff
Everything is always delicious, but 2 times to bring not what I ordered, to serve coffee before meals, when I asked after - it really spoiled the impression. As a result, I spent an hour in a coffee shop, ate the wrong thing, left upset, my breakfast was ruined, and therefore the whole day.....((((
I'm not coming here anymore, not even for the delicious porridge that it was all about!!!!!!
Good coffee, good rolls. One thing spoils the assessment.
At a long table, there are noisy gatherings of people who most often do not care about the peace of others. The justification for such an action is simple: "we have a master mind here", "master class", etc.
The dishes and pastries in the restaurant are excellent. But, unfortunately, the service leaves much to be desired. There is a mess between the employees, due to the fact that everyone does everything at once, they cannot understand what they really need to do, yesterday they waited until they just took the pastries out of the window for 15 minutes, eventually they took out part of the order, put it on their table, after 7 minutes nothing happened while I she didn't come up and say that is it really such a long process and you can't finish the order? As a result, it turns out that they simply forgot about him. You really need to put the positions in order between the employees so that everyone does their own thing, and not first take an order, go make coffee, go take coffee, at this time another person stood at the checkout, and everything is already lost because of this. And this is not the first time. Some people, despite the good pastries, will simply prefer another place with good service.
Last year I left a good review on the honey cake. Unfortunately, everything has changed in this regard. Rude staff, which is not enough. The tables are dirty, they forget to bring the cutlery, there was someone's hair on our table. And most importantly, the honey cake has changed and become ordinary, like from a supermarket.
I was here recently, came in the afternoon with my mother and stayed up until the evening, having learned that you can work here on a laptop. Fortunately, I didn't bother anyone. The service is excellent! What wonderful girls you have working for you! I especially thank Anastasia, the administrator, she is very calm, polite, responsive, will answer any question, she makes the most professional impression. The other girls are just wonderful too! Thank you for the excellent service, though I did not even expect it) I will be happy to return!
We were at this bakery today
The cakes are delicious and the staff is pleasant
But coffee is terrible.
I haven't had such bad coffee in a long time.
Burnt and bitter
After a couple of sips, we both felt sick.
:(((( unpleasant
As you can see, the food is tempting.
This is probably the flattest panini I've eaten in my life. 🤤 Flat panini.
If you don't eat meat and sweets, it's better to look for another place.
There are no questions about the quality of desserts and coffee (except that there is coffee with you - boiling water). There are questions about the service: the long wait for the order and the orders are often confused by the staff (if you eat on the spot). Breakfasts on the photo from the website and social networks and in the institution are different things, both externally and to taste - for three. I have been to this place many times, most likely I will go for coffee / desserts because of the good location, but no more.
If it hadn't been for barista Maxim, he would have left only with coffee, but he was able to open up to me a new great taste of kruglikov. I especially liked the taste of coconut-cherry. I'm waiting for new tastes 😋
I took a popsicle on a stick, it was delicious! I can't say the same about the double cappuccino. The coffee was very sour and terrible, the milk seemed to turn sour, although I don't want to believe it. After 3 sips, I just threw it away, disappointed.
In general, I liked the place. It is quite cozy inside, not as noisy as in most places, prompt service, delicious desserts and drinks. Regarding the price tag: in my opinion, it is too high for some dessert items. But you can find goodies for different budgets. I'm sure I'll come back to try something new🤗
We went in on Friday for coffee and bread, a nice girl took the order at the checkout, they explained to her the desire: to make a flat just in a large glass. Leave the amount of milk as needed for the flat. When the barista on the badge says "Victoria" saw the order, the comments followed "couldn't you order a large cappuccino right away?".. (apparently, she does not know the difference between a flat white and a large cappuccino) after that, she began to make a flat with regular milk (there was hazelnut in the order). The impression of the cafe was wonderful... but the bread is delicious. Whether I will come back again is unlikely
Add the "it's possible with a dog" sticker about the allowed sizes so that you don't get kicked out with an animal later. One day they brought water for the dog, the other they kicked out because of the size.
When ordering a cake from the counter in this place, you will be asked to take a number, sit down at the table - and you will wait a very, very, very long time until the only girl who is moving very slowly spreads the cakes trying to look out for the right number on all the tables.
It took me more than 15 minutes to wait. Therefore, it is better to take something with you in a package. And after that, sit down at a table three meters from the cash register, unpack and eat. This way you can save a lot of time.
And by the way, they didn't bring everything I asked for. I didn't get a glass of water
Very tasty fresh pastries, bright rich sea buckthorn tea, but the service is disgusting, every time there are some problems around. The waiter next to him broke the coffee, poured the things of three people nearby, but did not even apologize, did not offer to help fix it somehow, after a couple of minutes she brought crumpled paper towels with the phrase "no napkins" and went about her business
Delicious "Belarusian" croissants) There is a good view of the library from the window, you can also sit with a blanket outside. The service was pleasant, polite and fast.
The atmosphere is pleasant, the soups are very healthy and delicious. The buns are rich and delicious. Bombic meringue roll and homemade duck and liver pates!
There are no questions about food. The pastries are fresh, delicious, and the coffee is also excellent. But two stars is a service that has spoiled the whole impression of the place. He was bad and disgusting. The order was made at 13:34. The wait for the pancakes was a little more than 30 minutes (probably it would have been possible to warn about the time, right?), but then, when they were ready, they stood in the order issuance window for 5 more minutes. We sat opposite and watched .. from what time does the employee still bother to bring them to the table. It is unclear why three people work? To pass by repeatedly and not notice that the dish is ready? You need to be engaged in guests, and not in laying out goods or chatting with each other at the checkout.
A new, beautiful place. Not very friendly staff, or maybe it just happened). The coffee is not bad, the pastries did not please. I was in the same place on Dzerzhinsky Street - the impressions are much more pleasant.
the first time I waited for my order for 40 minutes, they forgot about it. Today I took coffee and a bun, they brought it on time. the coffee is mediocre, bitter. there is no bun (although I took it with cherries, but the brioche is completely empty, without taste). there are midges everywhere (in the windows and while eating a bun)
For me, the expectation did not match-the reality. Reading the name, I imagined the smell of fresh pastries, different buns (so that with cinnamon, poppy seeds, and cabbage), but in fact - the whole "standard" set of croissants, puffs, desserts. The Kiev cake seemed to me as strange as possible, covered with chocolate icing with nuts. The price tag is standard for Minsk. The staff is polite and pleasant.
