It's the first "smart cafe" or "anticafe" in Poland. It means that they do not have any waitresses…read more or menu, instead of that there is a free to use coffee machine, tea, cookies, juice makers etc. And besides that there are usually books, board games, jenga, cards, x-box, table soccer, free laptop, printer and other useful stuff. You should pay only for the time spent there, like, for example, 10 pln per hour, and you are free to use anything you want.
I really wanted something like that here, in Krakow, and I expected that it would be an automatic 5 star. I do not know what is wrong with people but somehow they manage to take a good concept from the other country (like it was with cat cafe) and make a very poor implementation. This place is opened for three months only, and I believe they are still improving it, but currently there is barely anything to do there, all the rooms are literally empty. You can cut the list I've posted above in half. At least it's still a good place for some meetings/events.
And here is my main concern. The cafe is created by Russian-speaking expats and it naturally attracts the same people. All the visitors I've seen were speaking Russian, part of the board games are in Russian, everything is in Ukrainian colors and symbols (not saying that they are bad, but what are they doing here, in Poland?). It has already become a club for people who are too lazy to assimilate into the country they've relocated to. Even the staff doesn't bother to switch to Polish when they speak to a group of people. Meh, it's awful.
