    Oh, Massolit, how I wish I could have packed you up in my suitcase and brought you home with me! My summer apartment was fortuitously located right down the street from this wonderful little shop, and it quickly became one of my favorite spots. Massolit has a great selection of books -- don't do what I did and almost fool yourself into thinking the front is all they have! The door to the right of the cafe counter leads you to even more literary goodies, most of which are very inexpensively priced (by American standards, anyway). I purchased a number of new, unused, perfect condition hardcover history books for around $9-13 (USD) -- fantastyczny! The little area in the back of the shop is great for studying or relaxing with a newly discovered book or tasty snack from the cafe (the raspberry spritzer was my favorite). Big windows with tons of natural sunlight, dark woods, and an eclectic collection of vintage furniture make for a great atmosphere and space for solo customers and groups alike. The only downside I found was that the WiFi connection was tenuous on my device when I sat in the back. If you need internet access, it might be best to stick to the tables around the cafe counter where the connection seems to be stronger and more consistent. Overall, one of my highlights during my time to Kraków, and a place I will miss greatly.

    Latte, quiche, carrot cake, Shantaram, perfect!

    With the prefect balance of old school unpretentious bookstore charm, yummy cakes and snacks, and expertly poured lattes this little shop sets a very high standard for any bookstore cafe to reach. They even happens to have handy a book that wad recommended to me the prior evening. Clearly a sign I need to stay for a bite. I couldn't have been more glad that I did. Massolite really has it right. Go here and check it out.

    Interesting idea: rustic cafe within a bookstore (or bookstore paired with a cafe inside). To be honest this was the first time I've ever walked down this street. But it's nice being away from the bustling market square (but still within walking distance of all the action). Most of the seating is in the back rooms, down the hall to the left of the register. It's one of the few places in Krakow that serves bagels. They also have a small selection of cakes available (among other items) but if you're looking for additional options, they have a separate bakery/coffeeshop around the corner.

    No way this place ever gonna survive in NYC or even in Boston, however, it's really by far one of the most beautiful bookstore I've ever seen. The feeling and the toe guys are running it, the old music in there and the books, the coffee, the cappuccino the cocoa and more! So amazing!

    This is a music store right on the main square in Krakow. Now this isn't the normal one though…read morewith CDs and DVDs. First of all they sell a lot of sheet music. Also, there are a lot of CDs on the wall and behind the counters. I bought two - the new Adelle and a Jaromir Nohovica concert one. He is a Czech folk singer and also sings in Polish. Unfortunately they didn't have any of his in Polish so I settled for a Czech concert one. There is also a baby grand piano in the front of the shop, as well as some tables, making that area a small café. Well, I didn't have coffee but beer. Really, it's a very comfortable, friendly place to chill for a bit (with free wifi!), have a drink, look for some music or sheet music or just get in out of the cold - and it was cold outside.

We noticed people sitting inside in a group, but the door was wide open and welcoming. A young man stopped me by getting right in from of me and asked if he could help me. I asked him if I could shop in his gallery and he rudely replied with a "NO! Can't you see there are people here for a special event?" Not a nice way to treat a potential customer. Unfortunately, we have encountered this rudeness quite a bit here in Krakow which has stopped me from making several purchases that I otherwise would have made. Are you familiar with the phrase, "don't bite the hand that feeds you?" If not, look it up.
