Just dropped in for a quick lunch to check this cafe out as I saw some good reviews. Walked…read morethrough the door and suddenly felt under-dressed as the design is a little cold and formal and I was the only guy not in a suit. The menu is a nice size, enough choice but not too much, salads, soups, starters, pasta and mains. I had chicken teriyaki penne which I would describe as very functional, I.e. it filled my stomach without any additional excitement or controversy. Service was very fast and efficient and scored highly for the speed of paying the bill (generally in Poland there is the impression that the staff are embarrassed to take your money, you ask for the bill which comes but then the staff vanish). Given its location and atmosphere I would describe Mercedes cafe as a good place if you are looking for a business lunch.

Cute little coffee shop in the middle of Krackow. I almost forgot to check-in but I remembered that…read moreYelp had a presence in Poland! How cool?!?! The service was excellent and so was the food. I didn't know what to expect because it was a very small place with limited seating but it didn't disappoint! My breakfast "pizza" was a combination or savory, sweet, and delicious, the bread was a combination of pizza dough and Hawaiian rolls which paired very well with the mild cheddar and savory bacon. The raspberry lemonade is slightly carbonated and not sugary but still Delicious and ice cold! The only thing I would have liked to see done differently was use chocolate syrup and not powder, but I get it's Europe and they do things differently here but it makes the mocha come off a bit chalky. Besides that the coffee was high quality and not bitter. They do have free WiFi as well But no public restrooms!! So go before you leave your house, Airbnb or hotel. You have been warned. Cheers,

Also the staff is really attentive and friendly. They also have a little loyalty card which they will stamp. I think it's cute because it's not like someone would go far out of their way to go there (although I have been so I guess it works!) The coffee is illy which is good because it's tasty and reliably strong. If you are in the area it's worth stopping in for a cup.

**Pre-review note** if you want to know what the place is actually like then please scroll down…read more You see I have a minor need to rant a little right now.... thank you :) SO. I could not BELIEVE my eyes when I came back to Krakow after a long summer holiday and realised that Castor had MOVED *away* from the most central location ever (was previously next to the Maria church) And it's not like they've moved to another nearby street, oh no, the cafe has moved to literally the end of the world (I can see that half of Krakow won't agree but my selfish mind isn't happy as you can tell). Biking for a good half an hour through town to have ny red espresso is not exactly something I will be doing on a whim in the future... ANYWAYS let's see what they've made of this new *cough* unfamiliar *cough* place... The bagels are still good. In fact the menu does not seem to ha e changed much, rather it's had multiple additions of lunch dishes that do sound mouth watering. No wonder, now that there actually IS a sizable kitchen behind the bar. For the coffee drinks I just really miss the big mugs... I hope they've just hidden them somewhere and will pull them out soon. As for the location it's very spacious, nice interiors, there's also a front porch kind of entrance with hammocks hanging from the trees. It's basically the ground floor of some sort of apartment building so there's much more space and it's both children and pet friendly. Though to me this seems like the best improvement to moving away from the centre: you can actually watch your kids play in the garden-y area and watch them slide, climb in the trees or whatever. If you have kids that is......... I probably won't come as often as I used to before for reasons explained above, I mean I basically came here to confirm my doubts. And to claim my free loyalty-card-stamp-reward-coffee...!

We managed to snag a nice outdoor table with a nice vibe with a couple of other restaurants around us all seating next to each other. Inside this place is adorable and so unique. The decor and colors and the art. Just a neat place. The food and drinks also on par with the ambiance. Service can be slow but we weren't in any hurry. We ordered a round of espresso martinis and my one friend had a sparkling Rosè. The martinis were a little milky looking which isn't my favorite but these tasted good and not to dairy forward. It had a little extra ingredients in it than your normal espresso martini. Which made it different too. Hazelnut vodka and amaretto. Worth a try. We tried the Brie and salad baguette and the berry cheesecake. Both of these were stellar and so good and fresh. Loaded with toppings on the baguette the Brie was nice and creamy. The tomatoes were delicious. The cheesecake was so crumbly and the compote on top was house made and very berry forward. All of it was just the perfect afternoon pick me up and we were so happy with the serving size and all the dressing up in the plate. So pretty. One of the best cheesecakes I've ever had. They make all their desserts in house I believe. They have some great looking ones displayed . Loved this place !
