Comfy, quiet and old style
Friday, lunch time, half day till weekend left. What could be more positive? Add coffee and good people. Now you got it all to be happy.
Nastrojowa Cafe was our target destination today. Thank goodness, traffic was ok and my pretty french car delivered us to
pasaż Ursynowski 9 at Ursynow district of Warsaw quickly. Unless you live or work somewhere nearby, you probably wouldn't know about the place. Tourists would be rare guests here. Yet, if you are close, give it a shot.
You can't but notice drawings on all possible walls inside. Nastrojowa has a mix of things: coffee, gallery of drawings, deserts,
Moka pots and even cute old style cups! A memory came up to the surface of my mind. I was in a similar place on my first visit to Warsaw. It had same atmosphere. Just a different location, somewhere down town. Here you are given a choice of various coffee options by origin and flavour. It can be a standard espresso blend or more premium single origins.
Two opposite emotions I have in Nastrojowa. Enjoying great atmosphere, small red armchairs and dim light on one hand, and my soul demanding better coffee on the other. Jonny and I had Peru and Kenya espresso. It wasn't bad, yet not perfect. Lacking body and thickness in crema, to my mind. However, I enjoyed my several sips by adding a little sugar to it.
Hard to tell if the place is very busy or not, for it was middle of a work day. While we were chatting, a lady with an adorable baby in a sling came in for a coffee drink with whipped cream to go and went on her way.
This is a perfect place for conversation. You can either sit next to the window and watch the life happening outside or go up to kind of a inside balcony with several tables there with even more intimate atmosphere. Nice place to stop by after work with colleagues for tea or coffee and desert. Here you can discuss the day or all of your boss's actions))). I am nostalgic when remember such chats at a coffee house with my reception team after night shifts at
Alfavito hotel in Kyiv (decent place for a night actually). Good old times indeed.
No reason of being too picky with Nastrojowa. It is not intended for coffee freaks who would turn around on simply seeing grinded coffee sitting in the grinder for more than 5 seconds. This cafe gives you right setting and mood for an open and maybe long conversation.
