Pret a Cafe

There's no other place like this in Poland: a café combined with a boutique. No wonder, as the owner, Ms Agata, has graduated from the Fine Arts Academy in Łódź and is a fashion designer. The interior, designed in pure, minimalist, Italian style, is a combination of the atmosphere of a café and a gallery. Its lighted floors make a small catwalk for fashion shows.

Italian coffee is prepared here in a variety of manners; it is served as classical espresso with milk or alcohol, mocca coffee with chocolate, whipped cream and caramel, original cappuccino with vanilla ice-cream and orange juice, or banana coffee with milk and bananas. Sipping aromatic arabica, you can give some thought to which outfit to choose, you can look through fashion and photography magazines and enjoy the atmosphere of elegance, or contemplate the charm of cups from the famous „Illy collection" signed by prominent artists, e.g. Federico Fellini, Francis Ford Coppola or Marino Marini.

The café is also famous for its delicious cakes, pastries and desserts of which particularly worth tasting is their ciasto orzechowo-karmelowe (caramel nut cake) with blueberry sauce, tort makowo-wiśniowy (poppy seed and cherry cake) or tiramisu made from original mascarpone cheese. Drinks are named after the greatest fashion designers: Prada, Coco, Gucci, Versace...

Here, at the Pret a Café, you will find a refuge full of beauty, harmony and good taste where the concerns of everyday life can soon be forgotten.
