    I LOVE RETRO! We only spent two days in Gdansk, but went for breakfast here both days. The first day we spent hours drinking coffee and chatting. The atmosphere is very comfortable and groovy. In London, this coffee shop would be far outside my price range! The food here is fantastic. One of the main reasons that I was initially attracted to Retro was the fact that my traveling partner is a vegan. Retro has tons of veggie and vegan options and it made my traveling partner very happy. Their menu is in English and Polish. Both days we had different versions of their oatmeal and smoothies, all of which was fantastic! Retro while being on the main tourist street does not feel touristy. If I lived in Gdansk, I would visit here daily and I missed Retro when we left! It is rare to find such a perfect coffee shop!

    We stopped here twice for coffee during our trip. The first time we sat outside and the second time inside. The tables outside are a bit shaky and the atmosphere inside is cozy and inviting. I love the old decor; typewriters and books to read. There were so many things on the menu to choose from but I ordered a Siódme Niebo - kind of like a latte but with sweetened condensed milk added. So good! Can't miss. We ordered one of their vegan desserts to try and it was better than we expected. It was good enough to return to on a street filled with places to stop. I strongly recommend it for the taste of their freshly roasted coffee and the value. For three coffees and a dessert I paid $17 USD. Outrageous!

    Cakes were great, coffee and hot chocolate was good but not great. Worth visiting for the cakes alone though.

    My favorite place in Gdansk. The food and drinks are excellent, the interior is fantastic and the…read morestaff are awesome. First the food: The coffee is great, they know how to brew it. Cookies and other sweet things are also delicious here. The beer is also great and suits a place like this. Try the polish brands! And finally the food is great as well. I think they only serve Polish dishes. The only problem is that the menu is entirely in Polish. But the friendly staff did a good translation with a smile so the problem was not that big. The interior is really fantastic and unique. They have collected tons of old stuff from a time period that is no more. The things have a beautiful touch of patina from an interesting history. There seems to be new people working here every now and then. I went here every day on my last visit to Gdansk. Everyone from the staff were really nice and service minded. Each time was a pleasure to go here, because of the staff, the cool atmosphere and the food. I can highly recommend this very special place, but don't tell everyone, it's best kept as a secret! :)

    I have to say - hands down my favourite cafe that I've EVER been to…read more This place just hits the mark on so many things - the staff, the selection of coffee, and the decor/ ambience. The ambience did it for me. I felt like I was Alice in Wonderland when I stepped into the place, I just wanted to walk to every corner or the place and inspect all the furniture, wall art, books, antiques and trinkets. Whoever built this place is an artist and must be a very interesting person! I can lounge here forever. The whole layout/ setup of the venue is quite cool, there's a small corner room that feels like a living room (but very artsy) and I'm just in love with it!!! I went on an afternoon for coffee, but I can only imagine what it might be at night.... with a live jazz band (possibly?) it would be heaven!! Go, now. And again!
