    Just wow ! This is what I call Coffee cafe. Little difficult to find if you are there for the first time but once you get there it is amazing. The barista was cool and helped us by giving menu in English. Ordered just coffee and it was the best I drank in Kiev ! They definately know how to brew coffee..🖤 Now talking about the interior, it is as classy as it can get. Lots of books and vinyl to choose from, will absolutely give you the nostalgic feeling of good old vintage days. Highly recommended))

    (Translated by Google) If you don't care what will be on the menu, what the bar will be, only the atmosphere and interior are important to you - come here. The menu does not indicate grammar anywhere. Poorly. Finding a place is difficult, especially when it's dark. You could take care of the landmarks. The menu is very small, I don't see any interesting concept. There is no alcohol choice. Half of the desserts from the card are simply not available. Several alcoholic positions were also lost. From the main menu, there was no pasta at all. Class, keep it up. Of the 20 items, not all are available. Taco would be fine. But you want the cake to be drier. Cider was supposed to be a feature of the establishment. But not even here. Only a few positions from the map were available. We took a cherry - it's more like a compote. Service - 1 star. There's also a rude girl at the bar. We wanted to come here for a long time, but in vain. It is worth going only for the interior, if this is important to you. But you can find places where an interesting interior, good cuisine and normal service are combined. (Original) Если вам всё равно, что будет в меню, какой будет бар, для вас важны только атмосфера и интерьер - идите сюда. В меню не указаны граммовки нигде. Плохо. Найти заведение сложно, особенно, когда темно. Можно было позаботиться об ориентирах. Меню очень маленькое, никакой интересной концепции не вижу. Выбора алкоголя нет. Половины десертов из карты просто нет в наличии. Несколько алкогольных позиций тоже потерялись. Из основного меню- не было в наличии паст вообще. Класс, так держать. Из 20 позиций ещё и в наличии не всё. Тако был бы нормальный. Но лепёшку хочется суше. Сидр-должен был быть фишкой заведения. Но и тут нет. Было в наличии всего несколько позиций из карты. Взяли вишневый- это больше похоже на компот. Обслуживание - 1 звезда. На баре грубая девушка к тому же. Давно хотели сюда, но зря. Стоит идти только ради интерьера, если для вас это важно. Но можно найти места, где сочетаются интересный интерьер, хорошая кухня и нормальное обслуживание.

    (Translated by Google) By a simple search on the Work.ua website, you can find a vacancy "Manager" (!) With a salary of 13k gr ives for 20-22 (!) Work shifts in this welcoming establishment, i.e. 620-650 UAH per shift. there are also requirements that need to be met, and english is at a not weak level. Manager. 620 UAH shift. It's scary to imagine the salary of line personnel. And even if there are disadvantaged and unhappy people who are capable of paying for labor at the level of 5-6 years ago from souls and give a good result with high quality, then do not forget those to whom you bring direct income with your visit, earning on the exploitation of personnel for a penny. Upd: your opinion is certainly not interesting to me, and the review was written not for such losses as you, but in order to inform the guests which ghouls and miserly they make a profit with their visit. Perhaps for someone it matters, and will affect the attitude towards your under-business that will affect your income, and this is already the result. And about what and to whom you, poor, would not pay your children to the kitchen, and put your mothers in the sink for such "money." Good luck to your under-business and obedient serfs, judging by the negative reviews in this profile about the kitchen and service, you will chase and chase after him) (Original) Путем несложного поиска на сайте Work.ua можно найти вакансию"Менеджер"(!) с з.п 13к гр ивен за 20-22(!) рабочих смены в это радушное заведение,т.е 620-650 грн за смену.И там еще и требования есть,которым нужно соответствовать,и english на неслабом уровне.Менеджер.620 грн смена.Страшно представить себе зарплату линейного персонала.И если даже и существуют обездоленные и несчастные люди,способные за оплату труда на уровне 5-6 летней давности от души и качественно выдавать хороший результат,то не забывайте тех,кому вы своим посещением приносите прямой доход,зарабатывающих на эксплуатации персонала за копейки. Upd:ваше мнение мне уж точно неинтересно,а отзыв написан не для таких потеряшек как вы,а дабы проинформировать гостей каким упырям и скупердям они приносят прибыль своим посещением.Возможно,для кого-то это имеет значение,и повлияет на отношение к вашему недобизнесу,что скажется на вашем доходе,а это уже результат.А по поводу что и кому вы,убогие,там не платили бы-детей своих на кухню,а мамок на мойку ставьте за такие "деньги".Успехов вашему недобизнесу и послушных крепостных,судя по негативным отзывам в этом профиле о кухне и сервисе вам за ним гоняться и гоняться)

    Very sofisticated place for either student' crowd or intellectuals. Situated somewhere in the back yards of very lively street. Good coffee, fantastic atmosphere, trendy people, books, and especially music. Highly recommended.

    Came here for the coffee and dessert. The coffees weren’t ideal if you like them fuming hot but was okay for us, the classic cheesecake was really tasty and the vegan cheesecake was very light and fresh… loved it. Music was really good and wasn’t loud even thought we were sitting right below the music system.

  • 4/5 Михаил �. 5 years ago on Google • 134 reviews
    Coffee place in old city court. Looks like book shop inside. If you like to have coffee and snake when walking around visit it. Service is friendly but slow. View from window often blocked by parked cars.

  • 5/5 Helen 3 years ago on Google • 112 reviews
    One of my favorite cafe! There’s friendly and polite staff, pretty tasty menu. It’s a gorgeous place either for work or for meeting friends. By the way, a vegan menu is incredibly delicious.

    (Translated by Google) By location, all the rules. Served by a guy - a trained fighter, I liked it) We tried the honey cake and Pavlova - everything is delicious, the teas are ordinary. The interior is not for everybody. On the whole, it is positive. (Original) По локации- все норм. Обслуживал парень - натренерованый боец, понравился) Попробовали медовик и Павлова-все вкусное, чаи - обычные. Интерьер на любителя. В целом, позитивно.

    A nice Cafe, in the center but of the main road. Really great service, coffee and sweets. Decent menu -- more lunch or brunch than dinner. Nice and cozy place.

    (Translated by Google) Tasty, but noisy when the hall is more than half full. A bunch of young people who hang out for hours without ordering anything. (Original) Вкусно, но шумновато, когда зал заполнен более чем наполовину. Куча молодежи, которая тусует часами, ничего не заказывая.

  • 3/5 Alona Z. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I always loved Harms for the atmosphere and desserts, but yesterday the waitress was obviously not in the mood, because she was upset that we came earlier than the reserved time and changed the table twice. And after we milked everything, we were simply forgotten and we paid the bill at the exit, so as not to waste time (Original) Завжди любила Хармс за атмосферу і десерти, але вчора офіціантка очевидно була не в настрої, бо засмутилась, що ми прийшли раніше зарезервованого часу і двічі змінили столик. А після того, як ми все доїли, про нас просто забули і ми оплатили рахунок на виході, щоб не втрачати часу

  • 4/5 Pavlo Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place and tasty food. Unusual interior with cameras and collage from photos. However, it's a cozy place, and if there are a lot of people, there is a big amount of time in line before your dishes are ready. And sometimes waitresses can forget about you in such situations.

  • 5/5 Candace W. 2 years ago on Google
    The coffee is great. There are plenty of cozy places to sit with power outlets. There is also some outdoor seating. A small shop inside sells stationary and other miscellaneous boutique items.

  • 5/5 Tara N. 2 years ago on Google
    A hidden gem of a cafe, a little hard to find but worth the search. Very friendly towards remote workers. A typical variety of coffee drinks and sweet options to eat. There is indoor and outdoor seating.

  • 3/5 Aril 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place and good service, but rather than playing calm background music, they are playing loud pop music, so this isn’t really a place to read or do some work at all:(

  • 4/5 D S. 4 years ago on Google
    Really nice cafe, amazing selection of food and fresh specials and great cakes! We had a table in the half which was a little less impressive (not surrounded by books and decor) but still a relaxing place for a food or drink stop, and good value

  • 5/5 Liza H. 5 years ago on Google
    For now it’s the best place to try different cocoa. Also they have good vegan food. The atmosphere is really cozy, they even have a cat.

  • 4/5 Юля �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Really nice place and the coffee is delicious. There are quite a few interesting books available to buy. I put 4 because I could not try Pavlov (was not). Honestly, I went to this cafe because of him (there were rumors that this dessert is really good). Maybe I'll be lucky another time. (Original) Дійсно приємне місце і кава смачна. В наявності є доволі багато цікавих книжок, які можна придбати. Ставлю 4 через те, що не змогла спробувати Павлова (не було). Чесно кажучи, я через нього і зайшла в цю кав'ярню (дійшли чутки, що цей десерт дійсно добрий). Можливо пощастить іншим разом.

  • 5/5 Emma D. 3 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Наталка �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) My last visit here crossed out all the positive effects from previous visits to you. Unfortunately, the waitress girl was either tired or maybe she wasn't in the mood all the time. Twice she remarked that we were not sitting there (there were four of us and we wanted to sit at two separate tables), she was very reluctant to answer questions and it seemed that she was extremely unpleasant to her. There is no desire to go to the restaurant anymore, no matter what wonderful coffee and atmosphere you have. It's a shame (Original) Минулий мій візит сюди перекреслив усі позитивні відуття від попередніх візитів до вас. На жаль, дівчина офіціант була чи то втомлена,чи може вона не в гуморі постійно. Двічі зробила зауваження,що ми не туди сідаємо( нас було четверо й ми хотіли сісти за два окремі столи), дуже неохоче відповідала на запитання й здавалось,що ми їй вкрай неприємні. Більше в заклад йти немає жлдного бажання,яка б у вас не була чудова кава й атмосфера. Прикро
