There is only a small flag outside to indicate that you've come to the right place. Most tables are reserved, so I guess they have a regular crowd. The wait staff is friendly and speak excellent English. Prices are low. The game selection is huge. I do recommend making a reservation if you want to play a game. Come here with a group of friends and enjoy!

They have 3 levels of limited seating but it's seat yourself so you may be waiting for a table if it's busy. Hop in line and order from the counter. I had to get the hot chocolate because it's the thick kind you can only find in Europe. It went down like a dessert - you almost have to chew it. It's really good, if you like that type of chocolate. The service is excellent - I was helped by a young lady who was very personable. I asked if they took cash but I didn't have the exact amount and they didn't have enough to make change so I paid by card instead. Seems to be the more popular payment type anyway. Make time to stop by during your visit to Old Town - it's worth it!

I love this place. It's very cosy and charming. No loud music (come to think of I am not sure if…read morethere was music at all, but I guess there was, just not too loud) so guests don't need to yell at each other to have a conversation. BTW. I have noticed that many cafes and pubs of Krakow have this approach - which is great - that the background music is rather quiet. after all pub/cafe/restaurant guests come to have a meal/drink and to talk, not to listen to music. I have many wonderful memories from this cafe - meetings with friends for a drink and a chat throughout many years. the place is beautifully decorated and has a unique atmosphere. a very interesting interior, with a mezzanine along two walls in the main room. the mezzanine seating is ideal for a more private conversation or a date ;) even though alcohol is being served there, I haven't noticed any disruptive behaviour. the floor plan of the place (a few connected smallish rooms instead of a large one) prevents bigger groups or (heaven forbid) infamous bachelor parties from frequenting. Although this year I have visited this place on a weeknight so I can't speak for weekends... Altogether I really recommend this place. it is totally unpretentious and is really impressive for those who like antique furniture and decorations, without even trying. There is self service, so don't wait for somebody to take your order - you need to go to the bar to place it. but the staff will clear the tables of course. The cafe has a few connected rooms on the main level, the mezzanine and a medium size room on the second floor (it might be hard to find it) with its own bar, and a beautiful view from the window.
