Poznan za Pół Ceny – Poznan for Half-Price

Every year in the City of Poznan there is a special offer city-wide that’s called Poznan za Pol Ceny (Poznan for Half Price). With each passing time this happens more and more restaurants, hotels and other venues join the offer thus creating very attractive time for tourists to visit the city. This time I decided to try if this half-price offer actually works, and how.

Starbucks @ MM

Yeah I know… most people know how Starbucks coffee tastes and so on and so forth.  I, however, believe that each coffee spot has something unique, even if it belongs to a gargantuan series of cafes all over the planet. Well, this is Starbucks. Behold.

Cafe Bumerang

I don’t usually go to coffee spots located right on the Old Market Square of the City of Poznan. One of the reason is that they are usually a little more pricey (which is understandable) and the other that they often are less, how to put it, creative.

Chilli Cafe

There is this one thing about the Old Market Square in the City of Poznan that always baffled me. For some magical reason there can be something technically easy to find but yet you never see it. This is the case of the Chilli Cafe I visited recently. Right by the very heart of Poznan but for some reason empty and hard to find at the same time.

U Mnie Czy U Ciebie

I have visited quite a few cafés in Poznan City recently but didn’t have time to write about it. Now I face a wall of photographs I made and think which one to choose now. I decided to put together some lines about U Mnie Czy U Ciebie mainly because I passed by this place many many times and never entered. I guess this will do it justice to type a little review of it now.

Gruszecki

Usually when you walk around the Old Market Square in Poznan City you have this feeling that those restaurants, cafes and so on that are directly on the square must be good, therefore they have money to have their stop in this place – one of the most expensive and prestigious for such a type of an estate. Well this is probably not what you can say about Gruszecki and their café.

Rogal Świętomarciński – Indepencence day

This not really a coffee related item but it is still culturally a very important topic to write about and therefore, disregarding its irrelevance to the blog’s theme i found it a must to mention in this post. Rogal Świętomarciński. Hell YEAH!

Alfa buildings – shadow of past

This is about those places in the City of Poznan that you wished that could be changed and get this done while you’re still alive. Also, for some reason unknown to me, this cannot be done immediately because some people consider this a nice view (!).

Trocadero

Not very long ago we were heading to the Ptasie Radio Café for a simple coffee. On our way our eyes caught the banner of Trocadero. Literally 10 seconds before the entrance to the Ptasie Radio. Since it has been AGES since we’ve been there for the last time we considered it practically a new spot. Without much thinking we entered, obviously, to check how the things were going.

Święty Marcin

Św. Marcin (St. Martin) is probably one of the most important streets in the City of Poznan. Those that come to visit sooner or later, knowingly or not, see it. The question I am asking myself here now, however, is “Is this really how we – the inhabitants of Poznan – want this street to look like?”
