A new coffee shop with a very nice interior! Huge windows in the ceiling overlooking the trams, the ceiling itself is high, you can feel the space. Delicate colors, unobtrusive, pleasant decor. Compared to similar coffee shops, the number of comfortable seats is very large. Books for indoor reading, a lot about design and cities. Polite, cool and friendly staff! Sometimes the tables are not cleared quickly.
The filter coffee at a good price turned out to be quite good and pleasant, although the brewing method is not specified. Desserts: a lot, I'm not sure if there will always be so many. There are few pastries, literally 1-2 positions, and an infinity of cream, nutty, cottage cheese, with glaze. There are questions about the cost: cakes (it seems like a coffee shop positions itself as a bakery), which look perfect, but 16p?? But pasta for 4 rubles is super. Free water for everyone.
In general, a great new place, the prices for coffee and desserts are the same as everyone in Minsk, with the exception of some items. I recommend it!!
P.S. The room is quite stuffy, it can get hot. Please correct me.
According to the facts:
Confectionery products: 10/10
Coffee drinks: 8/10
Service: 3/10
For the most delicious mousse cakes - definitely here. Unusual flavor combinations that will delight the most pampered gourmets. To my taste, their top-of-the-line pie is "Truffle" (something cosmically unreal). By the way, the price tags for the cakes apparently decided to "cut back" a little, because when they had an establishment on Zamkova Street, they cost 21 rubles, and now (at the time of writing the review) they cost 16 rubles.
Coffee: a good cappuccino, but it tastes very bitter at the end (either brewed with robusta or overcooked during cooking). In any case, it's not bad, but of course the price tag of 7 rubles for 160 ml is so-so (for 6 rubles you can drink 300 ml at the Zerno coffee shop on Komarovka).
And now the most interesting thing is the service.
I will describe the situation that happened to me: I wanted to celebrate my birthday with them on January 15th. In advance (January 9), I went to them, outlined the situation that I wanted to celebrate the holiday, said that there would be 4 people, we would come to them at 18.30. The barista or the administrator (I have no idea who they had at the checkout that day), wrote down my contacts on a piece of paper, said that the tables were not being abandoned, but they will definitely call on the 15th and warn if there will be any available seats. And here is day X. We enter the cafe - full boarding. The baristas throw up their hands, saying, "Oh, so that's what happened." No one even bothered to call or write (and I left them my insta besides the phone so they could write to Yandex. Direct) and say, "sorry, there are no places right now, we can't see you." Moreover, an hour before the designated time, I called them myself on the phone number listed in the profile header - no one picked up the receiver.
Since then, the attitude of the service staff has not changed much - they take orders at very pretentious meetings, and they seem to show that they are doing a favor by serving people like us. If it weren't for the delicious cakes, honestly, I wouldn't have gone to them anymore. But in any case, there are a lot of good pastry shops with original desserts in Minsk, so I don't think I'll often fly into them.
The city is full of coffee shops and pastry shops, where the service is at a decent level - the same Golden Comb on Victory Square, Brioche on Storozhevskaya or Mo on Dzerzhinsky Avenue.
P.S. and so far no one has responded to my comment in Insta about their attitude to customers.
In general, everything is fine, I am glad that there is avocado toast and a delicious baguette, but there are important recommendations to the management.:
1. Starting the sale of bread at 11:20 is like starting the delivery of breakfast at 14:00. People eat bread for breakfast, and I would like to see it by 9 a.m. at the most.
2. Yesterday's bread is not comme il faut to sell at the same price as fresh bread. There's nothing wrong with making 30% off yesterday's pastries.
