  • 5/5 Calorie W. 6 years ago on Google • 431 reviews
    From my previous visit this place made a huge menu change that now has lots of appetising all-day-breakfast options, including "fitness" choices that are low in calories. The desserts however keep looking better than they actually taste 😞

    I went to UDC multiples times - today, I ordered the "nutcracker" nut & chocolate cake and a strawberry & passion fruit lemonade. I think they have better cake options than the nutcracker, but the lemonade didn't disappoint :)

    desserts are overpriced and waaay too sweet. however, the coffee is good (both espresso-based and pour-overs) and overall atmosphere is pleasant - suitable both for a busy day with a laptop and a family brunch

  • 5/5 Ксения �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice place. Ordered tuna, turkey and tomato and cucumber salad in yogurt dressing. Everything is delicious. For dessert, tiramisu (only cookies are not soaked for some reason) and raspberry tartlet (it's a pity that not all raspberries had raspberry syrup or cream). The polite staff. (Original) Приятное место. Заказывали тунца, индейку и салат из помидор и огурцов в йогуртовой заправки. Все вкусно. На десерт тирамису (только печеньки почему то не пропитаны) и малиновую тарталетку (жалко, что не во всех малинках был малиновый сироп или крем). Вежливый персонал.

  • 1/5 Denis A. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Has always been my favorite cafe. Up to this day. We went in, bought two pieces of cake (mango cheesecake and berry tart) and lemon tart (all with you). They brought me home. The meringue on the tart is old, dry, it is five days old, and this is an egg white. The pieces of cake are microscopic. I looked on the website how much should be the weight of the portions (usually I don’t do this, but then I was really confused by the size and I decided to figure it out). As a result, a decent underweight for each portion. If we were talking about a small error on the whole cake, it’s not important and funny. But when it comes to a 15% deception at the cost of a piece of cake, about 400-500 rubles, it starts to worry. As a result, the point from the cake has a minimum of +1 piece. And we overpay. At one time, because of this, he stopped going to Metropolis, but did not write a review. This time I decided that it was enough to endure. I understand the crisis, you need to survive, but guys, have a conscience ... Owners, you can check the transaction on March 15 at 3:12 pm (or so). Don't get sick, please! (Original) Всегда был моим любимым кафе. До сегодняшнего дня. Зашли, купили два кусочка торта (манго чизкейк и ягодный тарт) и лимонный тарт (всё с собой). Привезли домой. Меренга на тарте старинная, высохшая, ей дней пять, а ведь это яичный белок. Кусочки торта - микроскопические. Посмотрел на сайте, сколько должен быть вес порций (обычно, такого не делаю, но тут меня реально смутил размер и я решил разобраться). В итоге, порядочный недовес по каждой порции. Если бы речь шла о небольшой погрешности на целом торте - не принципиально и смешно. Но когда речь идёт о 15%-м обмане при стоимости куска торта, порядка 400-500 рублей, это начинает настораживать. В итоге точка с торта имеет +1 кусок минимум. А мы, переплачиваем. В своё время из-за этого перестал ходить в Метрополис, но отзыв не написал. В этот раз решил, что терпеть достаточно. Я понимаю, кризис, нужно выживать, но ребята, имейте совесть... Владельцы, можете проверить, транзакция 15 марта в 15:12 (или около того). Не болейте, пожалуйста!

    The space looks nice, but that's the only appeal. The food and drinks are not only ridiculously overpriced, but also unappetising. Their tiramisu was stale, the mango passion fruit tart was bland and didn't even taste like the fruits, and their coffee was lukewarm. Furthermore, service there is HORRIBLE. Our waitress was not only rude, but actually callous. She brought the wrong order and when I told her it wasn't ours, she literally said, "what do you mean it's wrong, this is what you ordered" and refused to even hear me out. When she eventually realised she was wrong, and I tried physically pointing out our actual order she told me to "just sit down". I have never met such disrespectful and inappropriate service, even in a country like Russia where customer service is notoriously bad. Will never return.

  • 1/5 Gulja A. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Delicious food, but every time the service is getting slower and slower. The chef does not cope with orders, although not many visitors. Waiters say they will bring the order in 4 minutes, in fact 20 minutes. In fact, even after an hour they did not wait for my order, they brought only one guest ... Very unpleasant. I won’t come anymore :( (Original) Вкусная еда, но с каждым разом обслуживание становится все медленнее и медленнее. Повар не справляется с заказами, хотя не так много посетителей. Официанты говорят, что принесут заказ через 4 минуты, по факту 20 минут. По факту даже спустя час не дождались моего заказа, принесли только одному гостю...Очень неприятно . Больше не приду:(

  • 4/5 Mарина �. 4 years ago on Google

Торты вкусные, однако цены довольно высокие, просто так я бы сюда не пошла.

  • 5/5 Игорь �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) This network cafe has exceeded all expectations! Very similar to the Chocolate Girl from the parallel Universe :) Breakfast favorite - solid 5! The level of a decent restaurant. Chef - bow. Flat on almonds by quality standards. And of course, these desserts: you have to try! Add attentive service and favorable location and get the best cafe in the area. I'll be back! (Original) Эта сетевая кафешка превзошла все ожидания! Очень похоже на Шоколадницу из параллельной Вселенной :) Завтрак фаворит - твердая 5! Уровень приличного ресторана. Шефу - поклон. Флэт на миндале по стандартам качества. Ну и конечно эти десерты: надо пробовать! Добавьте внимательный сервис и выгодную локацию и получите лучшее кафе на районе. Вернусь!

    (Translated by Google) The establishment is still pretty good. But. The range of cakes has become smaller. Milkshakes are just bad, don't order. (Original) Заведение все еще неплохое. Но. Ассортимент тортов стал меньше. Милкшейки просто плохие, не заказывайте.

    An okay place with rather faceless interiors. The sweets were ok, but nothing exquisite - somewhat overpriced for the bold sweetness you get.

  • 3/5 Большакова Марианна �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Please pay attention! I love this place. Their image and style are distracted - aesthetically pleasing, harmonious, pleasant, tasty and beautiful. There is one detail that annoys me a little and haunts me. It distracts my attention and takes away the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of this place. Design error. On the right side of the entrance is a baguette frame with glass shelves on which there are empty vases. Perhaps there is some idea behind this, I could not find any sense in this. At the same time, there are delightful sconces - metal pipes with suspensions, like on Soviet chandeliers. Thank you for this place. Please do something with the vases! 🙏🏻 (Original) Прошу, обратите внимание! Люблю это местечко. Отвлекается их образ и стиль - эстетично, гармонично, приятно, вкусно и красиво. Есть одна деталь, которая несколько выводит меня из себя и не дает покоя. Она отвлекает моё внимание и забирает возможность насладиться прекрасным этого места. Ошибка дизайна. По правой стороне от входа расположена багетная рама со стеклянными полками, на которых стоят пустые вазы. Возможно, за этим стоит какая-то идея, мне не удалось найти в этом никакого смысла. При этом есть восхитительные бра - металические трубы с подвесами, как на советских люстрах. Спасибо вам за это место. Пожалуйста сделайте что-то с вазами! 🙏🏻

  • 5/5 Таня �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Breakfast of the champion or toast and poached egg - take 1 dish and be full all day! The signature cake is sweet and will drive away any sadness or bad mood. (Original) Завтрак чемпиона или тосты и яйцом пашот- берешь 1 блюдо и сыт весь день! Фирменный торт- сладкий, отгонит любую грусть или плохое настроение.

  • 1/5 Ксения �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Came on a weekday evening. The hall was half full, 1 waiter worked. There was no stress, as well as work for the waiter in general. Despite the fact that the menu was brought to me, I sat at the style for 25 minutes, and neither the waiter nor the administrator, who had been in the hall all this time, approached me. I tried to call the waiter 2 times, but he just did not hear. The staff does not know how to work, and the cafe cannot be called customer-oriented. What happens in a cafe when you are fully seated? (Original) Пришла в будний день вечером. Зал был наполнен наполовину, работал 1 официант. Стресса никакого не было, как и работы для официанта в принципе. Несмотря на то, что мне принесли меню, я просидела за стилиом 25 минут, и ко мне не подошёл ни официант, ни администратор, который все это время находился в зале. Я пыталась подозвать официанта 2 раза, но он просто не слышал. Персонал не умеет работать, да и кафе нельзя назвать клиентоориентированным. Что же происходит в кафе при полной посадке?

    Tables were available, and they told us that there were no available tables, and the employee kicked us out and told us to go to another cafe!
