  • Warzywniak Cafe
    Warzywniak cafe tempts you with delicious coffee and lunch during the day, and in the evening it’s a good idea to drop in for a glass of prosecco or a local beer with dinner. Even though it has been in this place for years, it perversely tells its guests from above the entrance that it is the people that are important, not the place. Maybe that’s why it’s so hard to find free space on those famous window sills.
