mesmerising flavours

an absolutely incredible spot - beautiful interior, lovely vibe and the food is to die for. myself and my partner shared a savoury dish and a sweet one - they were both insane. the flavours are so unique and fresh and the pastries look amazing too, definitely busy so come early!! shout out to the matcha latte which was smooth as anything. big time recommend.

Oh my days so lovely!

Everything we got was amazing!

My partner got the mini pizza with olives which was yummy. I got the sweet bun with strawberry which was also yum! The miso and sesame bread was amazing! Lastly, the flat white was really strong and rounded.

The staff were great!

Pros: Mind blowing food, Good prices , Lovely staff

Favorite spot on this side of Wisła river

Zaczyn is just one of my favorite spots in Krakow. Wonderful bread and snacks and amazing, original! breakfast recipes, unexpected flavor combinations. This place is full every weekend so you just need to be patient with the free table, but it’s worth it!

Pros: Great coffee , Original recipes

Amazing coffee and incredibly fluffy challah

Fully vegan bakery with a large variety of goods. I ordered small challah and it turned out to be enormous yet delicious. Espresso was served with a cup of water and refill was free of charge. It is truly an amazing place for both baked goods and coffee lovers

Pros: Taste, Amazing service and staff members , Proper coffee

Amazing bakery

I had a savoury and sweet item, both were amazing, I had to double check that everything was vegan after eating the sweet. Would highly recommend the food here. I got there 20mins after they opened and had to queue for quite a while, so expect queues.

Delicious pastries

The pastries were lovely but there was nowhere near as much variety as I saw on Happy Cow. I really wanted something savoury from the menu but there didn't seem to be an option to just sit down and look through the menu, it felt like we just had to choose some pastries from the display and that was it.

Pros: Delicious food

Cons: Expensive , Awkward to order

I adore this place

The food is mesmerizing, extremely tasty, something you wouldn't make at home. The ingredients are very special, they are homemade, ecological and the flavor combinations are really exceptional. It is a must to visit if you live in Krakow. I have tried many breakfasts here and ALL of them were THAT GOOD. They change their menu seasonally.
There is just one thing: the place is really crowded, if it's summer there are places to sit outside so it doesn't get as bad, but during the winter I always have to wait to get a seat and there isn't much space to wait either. But! I promise you it's worth it, these are the best breakfasts I have eaten my whole life! (the crowd just shows how extremely tasty this place is, they just should get a bigger place)
*their coffee is also very tasty, their desserts are a bit too sweet as for my taste
*portions are always enough for me or a bit too big

Best buns. Ever.

We ordered cherry buns and cinnamon buns with mini biscuits, and my lord- the best buns I’ve ever had! So light! Will be back every day we are in krakow! Just a 15 minute walk from old town!

Pros: The buns, The coffee, The vibe

Cosy bakery with great coffee

Sweet and savoury treats available, and perfectly strong coffee!
Will be coming back for the apple, raspberry and almond dessert.

EDIT:
Have been back a couple times since, trying the cinnamon bun and some eggy tofu on rye bread. Both delicious! The choices seem to vary a bit each day

Others should learn

Other venues should learn and limit the vegan propaganda. This place was crowded and all items looked so tasty. We got some sweet rolls and a baguette and they made me question why it’s so common that bakeries use dairy and eggs in everything.
Will certainly return here tomorrow for more goodness. Thank you!

Pros: Lack of vegan propaganda, Huuuge range, Tasty af

Cons: Would not think its a vegan place if not seen here

Watch how the bread is made

The first thing they want you to see when you step into the shop is their kitchen and I can see why. It is amazing to be able to see how they actually make their baked goods. You can see the effort and skill they put into making their food.

About the food itself, it can be quickly described as divine. The chocolate pastry I had was 10/10 and the savoury cheese and tomato pizzette were wonderful (reminded me of my home in Italy). I was astonished at tasting their ricotta cheese, couldn't believe it was vegan.

Pros: Great savoury and sweet baked goods, Captivating look with huge windows into kitchen

Cons: Upscale and hence a bit pricey

Vegan Labneh is Just OK

I only ordered the vegan Labneh, the variety here is really big so maybe other dishes are better.

The Labneh I know is saltier, with zatar spices, great to have with bread. Maybe this was another version which I am unfamiliar with, but to me it just felt like slightly bland yogurt with some veggies on top. The texture of it wasn't cheese-like, it just had the texture of yogurt, so the bread with it just didn't make sense really. And the amount of bread did not suffice as well, there should have been two more bread slices.

It was okay, I would definitely check out alternative items from the menu because I think the Labneh is completely skippable unless you just want to eat something light and healthy.

Delicious baked goods

Really cute place, with savory and sweet baked goods. Both were increadibly good. Personally I found that the cardamom bun had a bit too much cardamom so it was overpowering but everything else was really really good.

Pros: Savory and sweet bakes, Cute place
