    Really nice and cozy place. I was here on a Friday night and there was not enough room for all the people that came for a drink. I really liked their coctail called Artifitial Patient. The only minus for me was a really loud music. I was there alone so it was quite ok, but I can't imagine myself having to should throught the loud music just to speak to my friends. But at least their music taste is pretty goos

    Cool pub with nice vibes in the old town. I recommend it with any doubt. Singular place🤗

  • 5/5 Paul 4 months ago on Google
    Immaculate vibes. The decor, the layout, the furniture, the music - all exquisite, refined, chic. I went in the middle of the day for a drink, it was quiet apart from the jazz playing softly on the speakers. I would have gladly spent the rest of my afternoon there.

    Cool bar, young vibe, good cocktail waiter and selection of drinks here’s more seating upstairs, nice quirky place that’s not a trial to find.

    Ridiculous! Guests wait in line for service, and clean their own table. The waitress has no emotion on her face.😅😅 Seems like I owned her a lot of money.

    Very cool and unique bar, every time you look through the bar you discover something you didn't notice before. Good selection of spirits. Strange paintings.

    I expected much more after all recommendations. Interior was kinda nice but also kinda dirty. Loooong queue at the bar, staff was disorganized. Stayed for one beer and left, maybe it was just bad day.

  • 5/5 Patrycja D. 2 months ago on Google • 63 reviews New
    Great drinks and a unique atmosphere, good music, and service. Definitely recommend!

    We have visited Gdansk twice now and both times have returned to Jozef K multiple times. It's such a cool spot. The decor is quirky but homely and cosy. On one of the nights we went there was live music which was amazing and really set a good ambience. Love this place and will always be on my list of places to visit when returning to Gdansk!

    Wandering solo through Gdansk's charming streets, I stumbled upon a haven for weary backpackers like myself: Cafe Jozef K. The warm glow of fairy lights beckoned me in, and inside, Alexandra, the barista, greeted me with a smile as big as the cozy armchairs piled with worn paperbacks. Her enthusiasm for the winter spice coffee was infectious, and one sip confirmed it was pure magic in a mug - warming spices tingling my taste buds while the rich aroma filled the air, plus I got two mini cookies too. The book-cafe vibe was pure gold – hushed whispers mingling with the gentle humm of classical music, bookshelves like welcoming arms framing the room. In a city so full of history and charm, Jozef K offered a quiet corner, a friendly face, and a brew that chased away winter's chill. Thanks, Alexandra, for making a solo traveler feel right at home!

    This place is so unique and cozy. Reasonable price for cocktails and beers and you can find little snugs upstairs! So many different things to look at on the walls, the decor really is amazing. I think cocktails were £5 - £6 and beers around £3ish. Coffee is nice too, around £1.50.

  • 5/5 Lee A. 5 months ago on Google • 17 reviews
    Uniquely decorated bar in the center of Gdansk. Like a lot of bars in Gdansk it is an experience in itself. Well worth a visit if you are looking for something with character and personality.

  • 5/5 Melissa W. 4 months ago on Google • 14 reviews
    This was our favourite bar in Gdańsk. Really cool vibe, great music and good drinks. Bar staff were friendly too. Definitely check it out!

  • 5/5 Mini K. 11 months ago on Google
    A very cute coffee place where there are comfortable chairs and sofa if you would like to rest for a bit. There are two rooms on the main floor and one on the top floor. The staff was super friendly. Ordered a Ristretto there and it was tasty. Recommended!

  • 5/5 Ahmad P. 2 years ago on Google
    Unique interior, homemade cakes and diverse choice of soft drinks, tea, coffee and cocktails won't leave anyone leave disappointed. Ask the staff for recommendations and expect a bit of delay and serving your own table.

  • 5/5 anubha b. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place, nice vintage interior, they have indoor and outdoor seating, However, those who love to work on their laptops will want to know that there are two quiet private rooms at the rear of the venue. These cosy rooms are ideal for working, writing and relaxing away from the busy street outside. WiFi is fast, staff are welcoming..

  • 5/5 David W. 1 year ago on Google
    A "café with soul"! Thanks to the barista here today for this quote. Couldn't have put it better myself! (pity they didn't have any cakes today) UPDATE (April 2022): The cakes are in today. Raining outside, but here in the, "café with soul", there's always something better. UPDATE2 (April 2023): If it's cold outside, Józef K is the warm place to be!

  • 5/5 Arminas P. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful place, great coffee and cakes. Definitly a spot I would recommend taking a break or to enjoy your evening at.

  • 5/5 Weronika W. 4 years ago on Google
    If you’re in Gdansk this place is a must if u don’t feel like having another “pumpkin spice latte” in Starbucks or Costa. It’s beautifully decorated in vintage style with books and painting. It’s such a vibe! 🌞

  • 4/5 Sonia A. 4 years ago on Google
    Stopped here for a coffee and friends had some tea. We were entranced by our surroundings. We easily found a comfortable spot to take in the many quirky items. This place is quite unique and worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Giorgio M. 7 months ago on Google
    Nice food and drinks with a view, three cakes to choose from

  • 5/5 Amanda H. 7 months ago on Google
    Very cozy! Focus on drinks, not a lot of wine or beer, but the drinks are delish!! Indie vibes

  • 5/5 MarvelousTIMP 8 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    We really enjoyed the atmosphere. The bartenders were nice as well. We came back the day after for another beer.

  • 5/5 trevor 11 months ago on Google
    An intimate wee bar with a real cool vibe, friendly staff and a good sized menu. Indoor and outdoor seating, music, book themed with some nice cocktails. A lovely place to visit of an evening.

  • 5/5 Marc A. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice bar. Good drinks, good service.

  • 5/5 Baka K. 11 months ago on Google
    Really nice place. Lovely service with lovely people. Great atmosphere with decorations of different origins. You can make a reservations and there's a room where 9 people can sit comfortably. The light is most of the time on low making it really cozy. The WiFis readings are about 13mbps download and 11 upload. Password is at the bar at the right in a frame.

  • 5/5 Iga S. 2 years ago on Google
    Probably one of the best known and most charming places in the Gdańsk old town. Really cozy interior, a very wide selection of drinks and cocktails, both warm and cold (there's also cakes available for when you're craving something sweet). Plus the bartenders are friendly. :) A perfect place for having a drink with friends, definitely recommend it.

  • 5/5 Daniel J. 4 years ago on Google
    Brilliant place. The atmosphere is amazing. So many details you can't take it all in with just one visit. So much too look at it's crazy but its all all blends together brilliantly. The drinks are top notch as well and have as much attention to details with amazing taste. Best café I've ever been to. Specially loved their White Russian.

  • 5/5 Javier A. 1 year ago on Google
    fun bar in the middle of Gdansk! I went there with 3 more friends and we had a cool time together enjoying some drinks, good food and a nice conversation. the atmosphere is cool because the decoration makes it cozy and funky at the same time the crowd was nice, mainly students so it felt like a young vibrant vibe!

  • 5/5 S. H. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly recommend going to this place. Very vibey with good music. Queue at the bar was long sometimes, but they did a good job serving as fast as possible. Definitely going back!

  • 5/5 BariczzsoltOff 1 year ago on Google
    It was a pretty good place & such a great atmosphere quite nice stuff and reasonable tasty drink

  • 5/5 Bobby S. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place to have some tea. Chill music and good vibes during the day

  • 5/5 Sebastian 2 years ago on Google
    Very cool bar for mid 20's people! We had late coffee and cake, and then a beer, but they were already shaking drinks at 17:30 and the place was full. Nice rustic vibe, even if one of the bartenders had a bad day during our visit. Would like to come back another day!

  • 4/5 Mert D. 1 year ago on Google
    It is lovely place. Price policy is normal. Hugo is 20zl, whisky sour is around 28zl(depends on which whisky you will choose). Cosy, nice background musics while you are chatting, coctails are not bad. It can be faster service and better coctails. 4\5.

  • 5/5 SGBRZ 1 year ago on Google
    We worked there from opening until 2pm-ish. Had a couple of coffees and a beer as well. Service is nice and the venue offers a great space for working (remotely). We also found the place as it was recommended by digital nomads. Would definitely come back ( we actually did)

  • 5/5 Arkadius N. 1 year ago on Google
    The interior is designed with so much love that you can‘t stop wondering about all the details you will discover during an evening with (really!!!) great drinks and a carefully selected soundtrack. A good place indeed.

  • 5/5 Vasyl N. 1 year ago on Google
    A wonderful bar with unbelievable atmosphere. Design is very well thought through, very well put together play list. Bar-girl makes the show from literally any drink served. Amazing experience!

  • 4/5 Evgeniya P. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice design: cosy, a bit cramped, very cool mezzanine, there are some Kafkaesque accents (not only the name) and you'll find it pleasing even if you've never read Kafka's books. Service wise in my case it was not so good. The girl at the bar/counter didn't know their own menu and was not very nice and definitely not patient when receiving my order.

  • 5/5 Reza N. 2 years ago on Google
    Regardless of you fancy a drink or not, you should give this surrealistic place a visit 😊

  • 5/5 Jesper S. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice place for a pint or a cocktail/drink. Staff was amazing and the interior had an interesting take on industrialism

  • 5/5 Andrii B. 2 years ago on Google
    A bar for locals with great atmosphere, and good old music on a Saturday night.

😐 This Biedronka has just been remodeled, and looks better and is not currently overcrowded inside. Staff also seem improved. . My fear is that will change overtime like the last major overhaul when it became a two level store. Let's hope the positive changes remain.
