Kawiarnia Patio — Restaurant in Warsaw

We visited this place due to its high review rating but left very disappointed. We don't understand the hype. It seems most people come here for the coffee rather than breakfast.

The employees were not very friendly with explaining how the ordering process works. Menus were all stained and dirty. It's a self-service setup where you order at the counter, which was fine, but they were out of three main dishes on the menu when we came up to the counter to order.

One out of two our ordered dishes came wrong. While mistakes happen and they did remake it, it came with regular bread instead of the one advertised. Only then were we informed they were also out of focaccia. The Shakshuka had no flavor and also when asked they said they have no hot sauce or ketchup available. The pictures show you exactly what the Shakshuka looked like: scrambled eggs with some tomato sauce - no soft yolk at all!

The drinks were served lukewarm, and the cocoa had a watery consistency, suggesting it was made with water instead of milk + dirty mugs for water.

Adding to the negative experience, our utensils were not properly cleaned and had hardened food on them. We ended up eating only one dish (not to completely waste the money) and left the cafe hungry, without touching the second dish.

In the course of two weeks, we visited at least four different breakfast spots in Warsaw. To some of them, we went back several times and, unfortunately, this was not the case for this Kawarnia.

The overall restaurant has potential due it it’s nice ambiance, but it needs improvement in service and food quality especially! Given the self-service, small portions and food quality, the prices are higher than those of other nice...

This was the first time ever that a restaurant made me cry. Not in a good way. We came here for brunch, had to wait 30 minutes for a table. Staff doesn't seat you, but that's okay. Some other people were eating standing up. Once a table freed up, we sat down, ordered at the bar (have to pay upfront). Then we waited. And waited and waited and waited. They brought out the food for 1 of us after 30 minutes, but the rest was still missing after 1 hour even though people who arrived much later were already eating . We went to investigate and turns out they lost our order (the whole place has like 10 tables, it's not impossible to keep track of orders). After about 70-80 minutes we finally received our breakfast. By that time the one plate of food we received already went cold of course. My order still missed the bacon, so I had to request those. Few minutes later I recceived some completely cold bacon with the fat standing solid on it. I started crying as this was our last day of visit in Warsaw and we just spent 2 hours on some cold mediocre breakfast and it was a complete waste of time. If we didn't have to pay upfront we would've walked out.

They apologized and offered us a free drink/cake (hence the 2 stars, not 1). Food was medicore, but maybe it was just my lack of appetite right after crying.

I would not recommend. PS. I forgot to take a pic of the actual food, was too...

This place was just off the main old town square. They have a really nice menu, it’s nit long but there is something for everyone. They take their coffee very seriously but also have some really nice teas. They have menus in English but I didn’t realise this at first, saw avocado and ordered - it was only when my meal came I realised there were a few other words I should have translated as it came with bacon. The staff were incredibly nice and accommodating in fixing what was entirely my mistake. When my eggs Benedict with salmon arrived it was perfect. Two eggs that were just runny enough on pillowy foccaccia spread with delicious avocado. They used pink peppercorn and chives on top which added something special to the dish. They do plant milk on request so I had a caramel iced latter too made from oat milk and because I have a sweet tooth I started with the perfect cinnamon bun! I ate outside as it was so nice out but the inside of the restaurant is lovely and airy! If I was a local I’d come here every day! Big thank you to the lovely staff...
