Hello!I am writing a review on behalf of an employee at this bakery who stayed there for 2 days)These 2 days of internship were enough for me to write a negative review about this dump (the bakery on Grushevka).I went to work as a barista, but during these two days I didn't even touch the coffee machine (no one was going to teach me either).No one warned me that working as a "barista" I would almost never leave the dishwasher and occasionally work in the kitchen with dishes.That on the first day I interned for 8 hours, that on the second without any lunch break, despite the fact that I am fully loaded at work despite the fact that I am 16 and I came to work part-time.The barista girls who have been working there for a long time allowed themselves to sit on the "lunch break" over a cup of coffee several times per shift and dump all the work on newcomers and interns.This situation happened to the administrator:I was asked to wipe the tables with disinfectant, I did it.After a couple of minutes, the receptionist comes up to me and takes me into the hall, pointing to a table with crumbs.I say that people were just sitting at this table and I didn't have time to wipe it, to which they replied:"Don't find fault, take a rag and wipe it." On the first day it was still difficult to remember how to pack orders (because for a certain dessert you need a certain package), and when I got confused, they just ran at me with the words "What are you doing?!"The staff was constantly rude and sometimes answered with obscene words.According to the stories of other girls who have been working there recently, such tin happens only in a cafe on Grushevka.
Dog-friendly, I wanted more seats
Always fresh bread and pastries, desserts are a special love
It's great that there are different types of wine on the menu if the evening changes the mood from coffee to wine)
The coffee shop is very bright with a view of the avenue, you can also comfortably sit in the fresh air covered with a blanket.
Baking, of our own production, is on top.
The tables are very close to each other, there is not enough space 😅
The coffee is mediocre, alas, the matcha is too empty in taste, milky, it is better to make it in a smaller volume, but more saturated. But there is a large selection of pastries and desserts for every taste and budget)
Everything is beautiful, everything is delicious, friendly. But the prices of some items, like in Moscow or St. Petersburg, are the only fly in the ointment. It seems that renting is cheaper than on nemiga or in the center.
The place is atmospheric, the coffee is excellent, the pastries are fresh, but the taste qualities can be reached (subjectively), and the place for coffee in the morning, including, will be great.
Conveniently located, close to the metro. Always fresh bread and croissants in the morning.

This point is the last in line for the delivery of fresh pastries. So ALL the buns until about 12 o'clock (or even one o'clock in the afternoon) are yesterday's, dry and not tasty. Don't even bother with croissants until then!
We had lunch recently. Mushroom puree soup from the package (
For the second course, Quiche with vegetables. The tomatoes were all rotten and slippery. They voiced it to the waiter, there was zero reaction. I won't go anymore.
The staff can be tactless. One day I went in with a Syrian friend, so one of the sellers looked very strangely. Very long, very intently, very disapprovingly. The service was wonderful, as always, but.... It was noticed not only by me, but also by a friend, a respected person, a doctor. It was awkward. We don't go anymore.
Unfortunately, the taste of baking has changed for the worse. The cream in Kiev has become somehow synthetic in taste, the taste of butter has disappeared in the ears. Bread still seems to be at the same level. And it's a pity, of course, there was the best pastry shop in the city.
Their desserts and the new line of croissants are incomparable! Staff shifts differ from each other, if there are two of them, then one of them is just space, against the background of the other)
Convenient location. A great place to grab some delicious rolls with coffee. I highly recommend the bread of your own baking. Especially bread and potatoes :)
I really liked the place. The interior is interesting, and especially these incredible chandeliers.I was very surprised when I saw 4 baristas :)They were all very friendly!The tea was amazing and the sweets were great
