Noworolski is a café located at the ground floor of the Cloth Hall, Kraków, Lesser Poland. It is considered one of the most famous cafes in Kraków. The tradition of the Noworolski dates to 19th century, through the opening of the renovated cafe under its current name took place in the years 1910-1912. It became popular among the elite of Kraków, with artists and professors, thereby competing with Jama Michalika. It hosted famous persons such Jacek Malczewski, Wojciech Kossak, Włodzimierz Tetmajer, Julian Fałat, Fryderyk Pautsch, Karol Hukan, Ludwik Puget, and Karol Hubert Rostworowski. During the Nazi occupation the cafe was requisitioned and access allowed only to Germans. The family Noworolski again lost the place in 1949, when the cafe was nationalized by the communists and renamed. After the fall of communism, the café was restituted to the family in 1992. #discoverpoland #discoverkrakow #magicalkrakow #everydaylifeinpoland #lifeinkrakow #krakowdaily #igerspoland #cafe #krakowcafe #noworolski #Sukiennice #Rynek #mainmarketsquare #noworolskicafe https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu13wgZH4zQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fnw4bmwclfvc

KRAKOW = COOL

The Bunkier Café

If you find yourself headed to Poland within the near future, don’t miss out on Krakow. And if you have to choose between the capital Warsaw and Krakow? Still don’t miss out on Krakow.

Educational tone over.

Now that we have established your future Polish destination, let’s see what the coolness that is Krakow has to offer:

Krakow is a stunning old city that looks almost exactly as it did in the 1930s, seeing as it wasn’t (physically) affected by WW2. I have lost count of the number of photos I took of the beautiful city center (they are killing my hard drive), especially its old colorful buildings lying side by side, reminding me of Copenhagen’s Nyhavn, with which I’ve always had a slightly conflicted relationship. Krakow is not too big, and not too small, and you can probably see most of it in three or four days. Go during summer!

When you first wander its streets, Krakow presents itself like a melting pot of plastic chairs, fake flowers, neon colors and kitch. So much kitch that I am taking the trouble to hit the bold button (no, seriously, it is everywhere). However, when you get real’ familiar with it, you will be surprised to see how great it is. It is a place that really grows on you, if you will. Krakow has a vast number of parks, canals and squares that you can spend hours exploring. There are tons of museums, and the food scene is immense—try to avoid any restaurant that is mentioned in a guidebook though. Ask the locals! Or peek in the small backstreets and find one yourself.

… WHICH LEADS ME TO: The Bunkier Café, hidden away behind one of the city’s squares. It is more of a restaurant/bar/café, to be honest, as they serve (good) food all day, as well as drinks in the evening. Most of what they offer is amazing, and as is the case with anywhere else in Krakow, everything is insanely cheap. Go here for pancakes, eggs benedict and fresh juices in the morning; for sandwiches, salads and coffee during the day; and for organic cocktails in the evening. They have good taste in music, and the staff is the greatest. The café itself looks a bit like an old train station—it’s got bare brick walls, huge windows, and all its furniture is vintage. On warm days, they open up one whole side of the building (it’s mostly windows), extending the café onto the street and the nearby park. Ah, it is so lovely, and I guarantee that you can spend hours here.

Stay local, Julie

Oh, and find it here:

Formerly a bookstore, this spacious, modern cafe has cleared the shelves and firmly shifted its specialty from literature to 'sweet little things that go with coffee' (as the menu so eloquently puts it). Made by the renowned Starowicz sweets shop (cukiernia), this is the perfect place to please your palate with some amazing #PolishSweets like kremówka (creme cake, the Pope's fave), szarlotka (apple pie), sernik (Polish cheesecake), or many more elaborate cakes of their own creation. Cake connoisseurship is a serious pursuit in this town and the staff at Bon Ami will even be happy to help pair your dessert with the most complementary beverage from their offer, which in addition to delicious coffee includes fresh-squeezed juice, local beers and a range of Polish wines. Welcome to the sweet life.
