CUKIERNIA STAROPOLSKA
Read moreA beautiful pastry-bakery that has been operating since 1997. It offers a wide range of products for all occasions, for morning coffee or afternoon tea, for dessert, for a Christmas snack, for a company or family party. There are exquisite cakes as well as many traditional buns and ice creams, as well as fruit cupcakes, doughnuts and cookies. The star product is certainly the wide variety of cheesecakes. It is very popular in the city and often busy.
GORALSKIE PRALINY
Read moreThe representative of this restaurant chain is conveniently located in the historical centre of Zakopane. Its wide scope allows it to offer a wide range of sweets, for young and old, from ice cream to waffles, as well as bakery and pastry. Overall, the products are good, making it a solid stop for a warm breakfast or snack. The downside is that the place goes all out on price and the staff isn't exactly at your service.
CAKESTER
Read moreOn two levels, away from the crowds of the city center, Cakester is the place for students, young people and tourists to meet for a drink and a pastry. The decor is in cupcake tones of pink and blue, while the menu offers vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices, from breakfast to dinner. Overall, the food is good but unsophisticated, the prices honest for what is a niche kitchen. We particularly recommend it for breakfasts or a cake and juice break.
ŻARÓWKA CAFE
Read moreThis small cafe hidden at the back of a charming courtyard surrounded by very tall buildings, away from the crowds of Floriańska Street on which it overlooks. It serves natural fruit juices, homemade cakes and quiches, alcoholic drinks and excellent bagels for the hungriest. The choice is limited in each category but everything is delicious. The atmosphere inside is wonderful, very intimate and calm among small wooden tables and colorful cushions. You will find a lot of Poles, refugees like you from the urban tumult.
CAFE & CUKIERNIA LENKIEWICZ
Read moreSince 1945, this chain of cafés and patisseries has been making everyone happy. You'll taste some of the best ice cream in Poland. The company's founder, Stanisław Lenkiewicz, spent his childhood on a farm in Gryźliny. He began his confectionery practice in Grudziądz, graduating as a journeyman. During the war, he was interned and worked in a German bakery, where he learned the tricks of the trade that are passed on today.
PIJALNIA CZEKOLADY CHOCOLATERIE
Read moreThis small store under the arcades may be very touristy, but it has the merit of offering an excellent choice of teas and coffees, but above all a delicious homemade hot chocolate (which is praised throughout the city). In the homemade section, we find cakes and pastries and, in summer, ice cream. Of course, you can also take a small waffle to take away on the square, or to taste in the pretty little room with a Renaissance atmosphere.
EUROPEJSKA
Read moreThe English tea room is an elegant and impeccable service with an interior decor of wood and green velvet, with antique clocks and paintings depicting scenes of hunting. Tea is served by tasting superb cakes, such as the sernik (white cheese cake). You can also eat a few basic dishes (but attention is uneven).
KARMELLO
Read moreThis chain of chocolatiers is close to Belgian standards and the quality is there. Beautiful presentations and originality in the creations with more than 50 varieties of chocolates, truffles, bars, chocolate with candied fruits and other specialties... the stores cause stomach cramps. The chocolate remains Polish, it is produced in Bielsko-Biała, Silesia from imported cocoa (obviously). This is an address that we recommend for hot chocolates, a real treat to take to the streets in winter.
CUKIERNIA MICHAŁEK
Read moreFor their rose doughnuts(Paczki), poppy seed cake(Bakalowiec) or cream puffs, this little red-fronted establishment is one of Krakow's most popular! If you must indulge in a cholesterol-boosting sweet treat, don't be like other tourists and take the time to go there, and you'll be financing a local business rather than one of the big chain pastry shops that are all over the country. The disadvantage is that the local choice is limited to cult products.
CIUCIU SUGAR ARTIST
Read more"The smallest candy factory in the world" is what it says on the front of this little shop. For the children but also for the big greedy ones, one can see at the bottom of the store the candies made in front of our amazed eyes, with the hand (this small show has a great success with the young children who must then be removed by force from the window). Vanilla-strawberry-cream, spices, plum, mango or even salt and pepper flavors... there is something for everyone! This warm place makes you smile and creates good gourmet memories.
PIJALNIA CZEKOLADY E. WEDEL
Read moreThe Wedel chocolate, Poland, is a real institution. Make a stop here and you will understand why. Chocolates, cakes and dress of all kinds, delicious drinks made with chocolate and cafes available. The interior, charming, is worthy of this chocolate kingdom with a large vaulted ceiling of glass and black and white photographs of the founding fathers of the Wedel brand.
CAFE VELO
Read moreThis is where you will taste the best cakes and pastries in Lublin! This little cafe is a real gourmet's paradise, also offering a wonderful selection of teas and coffees to accompany your sweet delights. The cozy interior in the modern American style (think Starbucks) is a blessing when the winter breeze hits the streets. We suggest you try the excellent Slavic pancakes or one of the very good mixed salads to invigorate yourself.
