An interesting concept of combining a bookstore and a coffee shop, something like Subscription publications in St. Petersburg, but at lower speeds, matching the compactness of Minsk. Thanks to the team for decorating the city with a stylish place for the creative elite in the good sense of the word, the city lacks this. But I can't give 5 stars, since waiting for a salad for almost an hour without warning is a long time, unfortunately, the service is slow. Of course, the place is not primarily about food, but you expect that even in such a simple salad there will be no "worm holes" in the apple) The ice matcha latte lacked saturation, rather more milk-flavored matches, but overall delicious. In general, the impression is positive, but I would say that this is more a place about fashion and urban hangout than about tastes and comfort. While I was looking for a book to really buy it, I got a little tired of giving way to everyone who just came in to take a picture against the background of the shelves in the institute. So it will not always be easy to sit down and enjoy a book or the process of choosing it) This is my opinion, but in general, respect for having created such an original corner
An atmospheric cafe where you can sit, read a book, drink a cup of delicious tea or coffee and have a snack with a delicate, fresh cheesecake or other pastries))
A cozy place with an interesting interior design. Very tasty cheesecakes with different flavors. Excellent coffee. A calm and pleasant atmosphere. I highly recommend you to visit.
Unfortunately, the visit did not go well :
1. a cockroach running on the floor scared me, the workers said that they are poisoned every week, but they still appear
2. in the area where the cafe was uncomfortable, the tables are very close, you do not hear the interlocutor, but people from neighboring tables, you can not move to the library (there are chairs and tables) with food or dessert, you can only have a drink.
3. There was a hair in the dessert, the waiter said that she did not see it (my friend also clearly saw it), but she replaced the dessert.
The nicest place to have breakfast, meet friends, read and buy books.
Coffee and food are typical.
But it is not suitable for working outside the office: cellular communication almost does not catch, and local wifi (according to the employees themselves, and after checking) does not even pull text messengers, here there is something to work with.
I went to Minsk for a couple of days from St. Petersburg, this place completely changed my idea of the city, which was formed initially. The place is lively, bright, very tasty food, delicious and varied selection on the funnel. An excellent selection of books - I wanted to buy everything, but I took one that I hadn't even heard of before, I'm glad to find it. Excellent staff, the atmosphere, the interior - everything is amazing. I wanted to come to Minsk again in many ways for the sake of this place)
Polite and pleasant girls from the staff, delicious breakfasts, liked the coffee filter,
The entrance from the courtyard was not immediately found. It's quite cozy inside. There are tables for two, sofas and for a large company
Great cafe! As a result, it had the most delicious latte and the most delicious food, without excess fat and oil. The surroundings are also great! I will definitely come back again.
The staff is very pleasant, the girls are cute and friendly, the coffee is delicious, but the cheesecake was not pleased, they put it like half, and it does not taste like cheesecake. The atmosphere is good, especially if there are few people, but you need to get there successfully. Prices are average in Minsk, perhaps a little higher
A pleasant, atmospheric place. There is a large table for meetings with friends. A wonderful bookstore, a lot of good books (at prices - just look, hardly buy). The only food is croissants/cakes
The bookstore itself is good, there are many interesting publications, a coffee shop for 4, the choice is not particularly large, the table is very tight, it is inconvenient to communicate, everything is audible
a wonderful place with kind and careful staff, delicious coffee and desserts and an incredibly extensive selection of books! A spiritual corner of the city of Moscow !❤
Атмосфера супер, но крайний раз был а неприятная ситуация.
Я очень хорошо отношусь к животным и часто это кафе посещают с собачками. Так вот пришли такие люди и их собаки лаяли минут 15. На замечание сказали, что мы в кафе pet friendly, я это понимаю, но не понимаю почему нельзя успокоить собак… пришлось уйти с коллегой, так как и так голова болела, а от их лая стало ещё хуже
А так кафе на 10 из 10
Location of the TOP🫰🏻
The staff is friendly, the desserts are delicious (especially the bun)
and the drinks too!
There is a lot of space, atmospheric
I LIKE it🤍
A good trendy coffee shop with a small kitchen. Expensive Italian coffee machine and correspondingly good coffee, not wow, but above average for sure. The staff is a bit slow, but it fits the concept. Baking on a solid four
A wonderful place, especially for lovers of alternative coffee! We attended a master class on cooking and captioning. It was super-recognisable.
Wonderful staff.
Маркс — это лично мое любимое заведение, когда хочется посидеть в спокойствии и поработать.
В первую очередь хочется отметить прекрасный персонал. Не могу сказать, что я захожу регулярно, но очень приятно, что бариста запомнила меня и исходя из моих прошлых предпочтений подобрала наилучшее блюдо для меня.
Практически все места оснащены разетками, поэтому очень удобно приходить с ноутбуками работать.
И конечно же невозможно не отметить книжный отдел: кино, музыка, искусство, архитектура и многое прочее можно найти на полках.
Однозначно рекомендую посетить это место, и не один раз. Возвращаюсь постоянно ❤️
одна из лучших кофеен в городе. также есть книжный магазин с интересными инди книгами. всегда приятный и отзывчивый персонал, модно проводить мероприятия, есть большой стол
A pleasant and cozy place. Delicious desserts that need to be eaten separately from books :) but then you can take a coffee and finally go to the beautiful publications that make life better
Хороший кофе, приемлемые цены
Разве что, найти кофейню с улицы может быть немного непросто в первый раз, зато удобное в целом расположение в центре города, если вы выбираетесь погулять.
My favorite bookstore! Thank you for your work! Thank you for many possible and warm meetings with your loved ones and authors! Every time it was INCREDIBLE!
A quiet pleasant place, hidden from the city noise in the courtyards. Perfect for digesting the impressions of walking around the city.
And the yard itself plunges into a cozy past.

A pleasant place. A large selection of interesting books. Bright, pleasant interior. The cinnamon bun and ice latte were delicious. But the prices are above average.
I love this place, it's super delicious! Clean and great guys 💫💫💫

Дарагавата як для сеткавай кавярні, ёсць ежа, сняданне, але нічога асабліва вылучыць не магу. Для кнігарні, таксама, оверпрайс, з іншага боку падбор кніг цалкам даволі цікавы. Калі б яны яшчэ арганізаваны былі адэкватна, а не па прэтэнцыёзным катыгорыям кшталту "тэзаўрус эмоцый" паставіў бы са зніжкай пяць зорак, а так болей чатырох даць не магу.
Very cozy and atmospheric place. You can immediately hang out in the bookstore for a long time, reviewing each book. And then drink warm tea and eat an excellent Napoleon 🫶

An atmospheric place.
Beautiful serving of dishes, delicious, cozy.
The prices are a little high, and the tables on the street are very shaky :)
Хотите отдохнуть от городской суеты, поработать с ноутбуком, назначить встречу, просто выпить чашку кофе или чая в спокойной обстановке, а может и бокал вина..?
Во дворе между проспектом Независимости и улицей Карла Маркса притаилось прекрасное заведение, как раз по такому случаю;)
Два зала. В первом кофейня, а во втором — книжная лавка. Любезные девушке обязательно подберут что-то для Вас из мира искусствоведения, кино, нон-фикшена, философии и современной прозы.
P.S.
Найти заведение не так и просто с первого раза. Лучше обратиться к инстаграмму заведения за подробным описанием того, как добраться в этот укромный уголок творческих людей города Минска.
Either a bookshop or a coffee shop. The coffee is great. The hall is divided into two parts - a coffee shop and a bookstore. In a coffee shop, you can't take books from a bookstore and read. You can't drink coffee in the bookshop (you might get books dirty). It's all strange.
Уютненькое место, вкусное кофе , выпечка тоже вкусная. Приятный и вежливый персонал. Можно почитать книги, пообщаться на английском. Тихая и приятная музыка, в центре города

As a cafe, not really. There is very little space and the tables are very close to each other. In addition, for some reason, people with laptops often confuse cafes with coworking. In the evenings, desserts are no longer the first freshness, but they are higher than the average in the center.
Bookstore is more like bookcrossing -- you can find something unusual, but some books look out of place. Well, the categories are my respect. Something abstract like "the taste of yesterday's sunset" is pretentious, but uncomfortable.
The idea of books in a cafe is very good. But this place does not suit me with uncomfortable, too closely spaced tables. I am very uncomfortable when there is so little space. And desserts are interesting.
Что со стафом? Пока стоял у кассы, девушка ходила искала чей лимонад, так и не нашла, положила обратно на стойку. А потом и мне принесли не тот напиток, но росле замечания поменяли. Позже забрали недопитый мной лимонад(с гибискусом почти прозрачный), который был на уровне льда еще. Спасибо на том, что десерт не доеденный из под носа не забрали.я так понял, чтобы я быстрее ушел оттуда. Спасибо, больше и не приду.
Чудесное место. Всегда играет приятная музыка (иногда очень неожиданная). Чувствуется, что ребята, которые там работают любят своё место и это распространяется на всех, кто приходит. Люблю! <3
П.с булочка с корицей и фильтр спасают даже в самые хмурые дни

A cool place, a very tasty match, interestingly pleasant and so always lively, apparently. The only thing that upset me was that at peak moments the guys did not have time to clean the tables and had to sit at the dirty table. It's autumn now, there will be more and more people and some runner would be very useful here. :)
Насчёт еды: однозначно вкусные салаты. Имбирное печенье 1 штука за 2 рубля это слишком.
Насчёт книг: интересная подборка, но некоторые издания можно найти гораздо дешевле в обычных магазинах

Для кофейни в центре неплохо, но есть и лучше. Внутри кофейня разделена на две части. Книжный очень много интересной литературы, можно найти книги на любой вкус. Там все очень понравилось, а вот на счёт самой кофейни есть пару нюансов.. Внутри было очень темно для светлого времени суток, на летке было слишком мало столиков. Девушка которая принимает заказы не понравилась. Мы спроси у нее про кофе который они варят, моя подруга услышала что она сказала, в отличии от меня. И назвала обжарщиков с которыми они работают, а не страну откуда привезены зерна. Так же поступила не корректно считая выручку при посетителях, мы услышали все и это насовсем правильно на мой взгляд..
