Coffee: the coffee grade and taste are excellent, the serving is consistent, the dishes are clean.
The atmosphere: from a friendly atmosphere to a business atmosphere is just perfect, you can work and relax.
Food: fresh, delicious. Everything here is generally the same as in the rest of the brews.
Service: well, it's fine.
There are rules, a type of free zone, where you will not sit down with a laptop, and they will show you where they have a place to work.
There are no sockets at the tables for such a visit, I think this is a hint so as not to stay too long)
There are no napkins on the tables, or in the service area. But everything is clean.
Everything is delicious, especially the almond croissant and cheese raff. The alarm rings are really unusual and delicious!
We were like tourists in Minsk and specially decided to visit because of the funny videos. But the whole impression was greatly spoiled by the barista with glasses! As soon as we went to the first question, whether the breakfasts were over, I answered sparingly and with the most dissatisfied face. I still dared not notice the breakfast menu, he pointed it out to me after the question with an even more arrogant and dissatisfied face…
The rest of the guys are nice and friendly
cozy atmosphere, polite and smiling baristas, soothing music (MANY THANKS TO the PLAYLIST COMPILER) chic coffee, completely unlike coffee in cheaper coffee shops! the place is just super, I advise everyone!
we learned from tiktok, Nikita Nesterov's account. I want to say a special thank you for the curd rings, it's just a bomb!))
Very tasty coffee, and cottage cheese rings are generally a fire! The atmosphere is very pleasant, the staff is polite, but as if very tired (and so there are many places in Minsk, unfortunately), but the coffee was prepared quickly
It is very easy to miss the point, but only a standard sign gives it away, which is quite easily lost among the many advertisements.
Bottom line: the whole network of brews deserves attention, the coffee is great
We managed to make a pilgrimage to the most famous Minsk coffee shop this weekend, thank you guys for the good cheese coffee. I really liked the raspberry croissant with poppy seeds, but I will need to return for the ring and the most charming smile. It also seemed that the price for the city is slightly too high for a daily visit. Tell Andrey that his gastronomic advice has come to us very much, it's better to write out a bonus!
A great place for coffee lovers! A cozy atmosphere, a great selection of drinks and snacks, friendly staff. The coffee here is always fresh and delicious, and the menu assortment is amazing in its variety. I highly recommend visiting the VARKA coffee shop - they will always welcome you and delight you with delicious drinks!
Today we visited this institution, the atmosphere is pleasant. After watching the videos on YouTube, I thought that the coffee shop area would be larger. Of course, prices bite, if I lived in Minsk, I would hardly come here on a regular basis. We ordered cappuccino, cottage cheese ring and cocoa. The taste of ordinary coffee is no better or worse than in other coffee shops, where, by the way, the price of coffee is an order of magnitude lower. The minimum cost of coffee with some kind of bun, like a croissant or a curd ring is around 15p. They came from Mogilev, our prices are much lower. The curd rings advertised in the videos are very tasty, but again the price...
We came to the coffee shop from afar, according to reviews and recommendations from a good person Julia:), I take this opportunity to say hello! The coffee shop has a modern and stylish design throughout. The coffee was chosen "fancy", blueberry, it turned out to be non-sweet.
Dessert is a lemon eclair, very interesting, not overloaded with calories, good. We were happy to photograph the relaxation area.
A pleasant place, with its own atmosphere. Delicious coffee, consistent price and quality. A pleasant interior in the style of this network, a pleasant design. The menu includes breakfasts, croissants of various types, a selection of tea and coffee.
Pleasant baristas
The guys shoot great videos, which is why you want to visit them when you come to Minsk.
The reality does not disappoint - a warm place, delicious coffee and pastries.
Separately, I note that in the reviews, laptop men (and laptop ladies) are taking their small and mean revenge, and only they give low marks for the fact that baristas do not allow the coffee shop to be turned into a free co-working space on Dzerzhinsky.
Guys, don't pay attention, your cause is right: the coffee shop is about delicious coffee and communication ☕️
VARKA on 11 Dzerzhinsky Ave.
I arrived on Friday after 21 o'clock, I thought that I would not even have time to sit ...
A very cozy place, smells of nothing but coffee, clean. Yes, the coffee shop area is small, but it creates its own sweet lampiness.
I wanted to fly in and order some coffee and a curd ring (or at least an almond croissant). But when I saw the heroes of the shots firsthand, I was confused. Modestly I took a latte and a hearty croissant (not only sweets can be treated!).
The croissant is super, hearty and delicious, not cloying. Latte with foam (mmm<3) in a wonderful yellow mug, perfect in taste, no sugar was needed (although I always add it to the latte).
I recommend you to visit! Fast, tasty, at normal prices. The baristas are wonderful, they will patiently advise you what to order if you have problems with the choice
I wish the owner and employees all the best, prosperity and good mood!
With grateful greetings from St. Petersburg 💛
It's a great place. We learned thanks to humorous videos from Nikita Nesterov, and became real fans of this cafe. As soon as we arrived in Minsk, we came straight here.
It is very cozy inside, there are board games, coloring books. Coffee is a separate topic. Very tasty, a variety of flavors, made very quickly, despite the fact that there were quite a lot of visitors. A large selection of desserts. We will definitely come again!
Good afternoon! The coffee shop makes the most adorable videos on YouTube, great respect for creativity and diligence, nowadays there are very few sincere efforts for the benefit of a common cause, and I am glad that you are there
Huge respect to the director of the coffee shop, who is filmed in commercials every time, he is a really good and cool teacher! Dear coffee shop, please give me the contact of a beautiful red-haired girl with a nose piercing🙌
I came to Minsk for a couple of days, I follow the coffee shop on social networks and decided to visit them. The baristas are very polite and friendly, they helped to decide on the choice of coffee. Cheese raf is just 10 out of 10, cheesecakes are already served with sour cream, which was a very pleasant surprise for me. Everything is very beautiful and delicious, someday I will definitely reach you again
Often videos from this coffee shop come across in shorts, I myself am from Russia and went to Misnk spontaneously, I decided that I definitely need to go to this coffee shop)
Friendly barista girls, delicious cheesecake, pleasant atmosphere!
I wish you continued prosperity! :)
A very atmospheric place for those who love comfort and atmosphere 🥰 the staff are generally excellent and professionals in their field, which was also seen on the video in tiktok, where I actually opened this place, and what they showed in practice 💫
Thanks Nikita for such a cool team and place.
Interesting menu, And very tasty coffee drinks, desserts WOW ❤ cozy atmosphere, soulful)
We came from Karelia, we really wanted to get here in the first place) we are very satisfied!!!
I liked everything. A cozy cafe. It's really small. I thought there would be more looking at shorts). The staff is good. The guy brought me an order at the table (latte and chocolate croissant), the girl was smiling :). The coffee seemed delicious, but even though it was a big cup, it was somehow not enough for me. The croissant is good. Big, delicious. I liked everything. And the price is normal (I gave 13 rubles for everything).
A "peculiar" coffee shop. Nice interior, but somehow uncomfortable. Polite, but very serious, "without a spark" staff. A good menu: breakfasts, desserts, drinks. As for the coffee, it's a disappointment. The double cappuccino is cool, the temperature is not maintained, the weak coffee taste is more like a latte. Maybe it's the heat that's to blame?
I was in Minsk on a business trip, decided to visit this coffee shop after I came across videos with it on the web.
Expectation and reality turned out to be incompatible.
Instead of polite treatment and cultural staff, I received a piggy attitude and a lot of negativity.
There were only 2 customers in the coffee shop, including me, I made an order, went to an empty seat. I undressed, sat down, took out my laptop.
An employee came up to me with my order and said that you can't use a laptop at these tables. To my reasonable question, "Why?"
I got the answer - "The director is swearing and everyone wants to sit in these places." And I don't get everything and I don't deserve comfort a priori?
Okay, I didn't argue, maybe there really are reasons that I don't understand. I moved.
I was shown a central table, shared, not for 1-2 people, but not for 4-6 people.Where there were no comfortable and soft chairs, but only uncomfortable and hard chairs.
Relaxing with a cup of coffee will not work. I waited 20-30 minutes, and a couple of people added visitors. There was a table against the wall, with more comfortable chairs and a place to charge. I looked around, no one was going to sit there. I calmly took my things and moved over.
After 5 minutes, the same employee runs up and starts telling me that, I quote: "The place for those with a laptop is at that table."
Am I a leper? Is this attitude towards me just because I took out my laptop? I didn't bother anyone, there were empty tables, even the one from which I was initially driven away. I had to spend at most 30-40 minutes on my laptop to solve 2 questions.
Then this employee began to convince me that there are rules and that tables where you CAN'T sit with a laptop are marked with some kind of inconspicuous sticker.
I tried to return to common sense that I was not bothering anyone, there were free seats and NO rules were higher than the laws of the country, according to which he could not forbid me to sit with a laptop at a specific table.
The employee ignored my arguments and began to give examples, which here, again, I quote, "like in the army. where you can't use the phone and everyone listens."
The only thing left for me to assume was that the employee was out of his mind, I did not want to spoil the mood of others. But I really wanted to send an employee with 3 letters. In the end, I just left.
I got a spoiled mood, complete disappointment and a pack of piggy attitude from the coffee shop staff.
The beautiful cover turned out to be just a wrapper, and inside there was a frank g@vno.
For coffee 3 out of 5, croissant 9 out of 10, I think you understand the service.
Today, together with my beloved, we went to the Varka cafe. A small, quite cozy coffee shop. We took it for two: a croissant with ham, pickles and pesto. Additionally, a croissant with chocolate and lemon filling. I took a Flat White for myself, and my beauty wanted a Latte. A pleasant smiling barista girl accepted the order. Which pleased me, I didn't have to wait long. Croissants were brought first, after coffee. Ham, cucumbers and pesto were eaten quickly, as it is really bombastic. The chocolate is not bad, but I didn't really like it. The worst in my opinion is with lemon filling. The two of them barely mastered it. But I think he will find a response in something in his heart. I'll say this about coffee: I'm trying Flat White for the first time, to be honest, it's not my thing at all. It turned out to be very strong, I was a little dizzy all the way home. And here's a Latte... In my opinion, it is even better than in our favorite coffee shop. It was thought that they would not be able to do the same in any of them. Now I know for sure they can!
I bought coffee in this coffee shop several times, everything was fine, but yesterday 05/06/2024, I ordered coffee and asked to enter my phone number to use your loyalty system, which the girl in your other coffee shop told me about, but the guy who was on shift refused me, argued that many people do not say their phone numbersplease find out why only this barista has such trust problems, and if you have had such cases, then set up verification by SMS code, because your application is not available in the Apple Store if there is any European region
Amazing coffee! The best here in the area. I visit often and always with pleasure)
This particular "Cooking" is like a special joy in the day. It seems that you just go to drink coffee, but in fact the mood rises to the skies due to communication with the barista, good music, delicious desserts.
I especially adore barista Irina) a portion of the positive from communicating with her and always-always a pleasant conversation, even if it lasts 1 minute)
Thanks for the service, absolutely always❤
The best coffee shop of the Varka chain! There are such wonderful girls working there that it's a pleasure to go there))) And what a delicious coffee there is... Awesome just) And the baking is just fire! I can never give up on her... And sometimes it would be worth xD
I came to Minsk and, of course, the first thing I did was go to your coffee shop to try those very curd rings.
And now I am deeply depressed, because I can no longer imagine life without them.... They're just incredible. Eclairs, round croissants and cakes are no worse, by the way)
Unfortunately, I don't like coffee, but the huge range of Brewing allows me to enjoy other drinks. Who knew that tarragon and cucumber are such a wonderful combination.
Now we will definitely have to return to Minsk........yes
It is beautiful and cozy as in all coffee shops of the chain. But the coffee was terrible. I always choose the same one in all coffee shops. For me, the meaning of the coffee chain is that the drinks are prepared in all the same taste. But in Cooking, this is not the case at all (
We came from Moscow for a couple of days, including spending time at this well-known coffee shop on YouTube. There are no questions about coffee and products: mild taste, good price and excellent quality. However, in the video, the baristas behave relaxed and friendly, unlike in reality. There was a feeling that there is a client or not, there is no difference. There was no eye contact, no greeting, no smile. Although there are many coffee shops of this chain in Minsk, we went to this one, and here is such a disappointment! I recommend the network itself, but not this particular point.
Great coffee shop! Delicious coffee and desserts! Service 5 out of 5! YouTube videos are always uplifting!
I came to travel to Minsk and couldn't help but go to this top coffee shop😅✨
We traveled around Belarus, were in Minsk and could not pass by a coffee shop known to many on social networks. You know what? It was the most delicious and delicate lavender raff in my life and an incredibly delicious oatmeal porridge 🥰
The guys are friendly, despite the fact that we arrived at 9 a.m. 😅
I love you, I love your YouTube videos, the coffee shop is super coffee in general, the atmosphere is fantastic, the service is just at a cosmic height
The staff is friendly
We are from the Ecb. The son said that interesting videos were being shot in the cafe and when visiting Minsk, it was necessary to visit.
We visited very tasty rings with cake and coffee) we did not get into the shooting of the video))
We came to drink coffee and a croissant on the sun on August 4 at about one o'clock in the afternoon, we stood near the cash register for 5-7 minutes, but the baristas, a young tall man with round glasses and a short plump brunette, showed no interest in us, they found out the details of their relationship among themselves, threw the dishes into the dishwasher, shifted the goods as much as possible pretending that We're not here.
Usually baristas say wait 5 minutes and go about their business, but here the maximum is ignored.
We visited the coffee shop twice
We came , took a large table , as soon as we sat down and started talking, an employee came up to us, interrupted us and very arrogantly asked: Are you going to place an order at all , to which we replied that yes , we will place an order
They brought us an order , everything was mixed up , the terrible attitude towards guests from the staff ( two guys worked then )
The second time, too, we did not have time to take a table when the same employee came up to us again and again: are you ACTUALLY going to order something?!
Terrible boorish attitude !
There is no desire to visit this institution anymore, although it is very cozy inside
After the YouTube videos, I really wanted to visit. And so it happened that at last there was an opportunity to come to Minsk (I myself am from Russia), and of course I could not go in. I got to replace the bass player from the video, which made me doubly happy. Everyone is very polite, and coffee and cottage cheese rings are just space. Of course, I can't compare with the prices in Minsk, but by Russian standards, the prices are very pleasant, and even more so for such delicious pastries.
I'm upset because an important meeting was disrupted today…
We have long agreed to discuss working issues in a free cafe environment and chose Cooking on Dzerzhinsky… We bought coffee and dessert, decided to open a laptop to announce the assortment (there was no phone), but we were forbidden to use it ... the meeting did not continue because of this, it broke down, the issues were not discussed. I wrote it in a book, but rather to relieve my indignation and later understand why... a girl working in a coffee shop explained that some people work like this all day ... but I didn't need these some laptop for a short time. I constantly went to the cafe with the children, but now the sediment
The best cafe you can imagine! Very nice and friendly baristas! I especially want to mention the sense of humor and funny shooting of rils🔥 I want to mention Nikita separately - amazing, funny, open, able to keep up a conversation with a sad girl 😉
One of the many coffee shops in the franchise where you feel comfortable, the barista girl communicates with you respectfully, there is no passive aggression as it often happens. Is she new?)
Coffee is certainly expensive, but thank you for making it qualitatively.
It's cool that there are places where you are respected as a guest.
A very pleasant and good coffee shop! Wonderful guys, kind, helped with the choice. Irina is a very interesting girl. It's worth going to this particular coffee shop just for her sake.😅☺️
I watch your videos in St. Petersburg and dream of visiting you, having a cup of coffee and chatting with a Barista, you make content very cool
And 1,000,000% Cool Coffee
You did well
Good luck to you
Discrimination against people who come with laptops. They establish their own rules that contradict the Constitution and the Law on Consumer Protection. I hope someone will call the police on the fact of an illegal denial of service, if you have an electronic device with you more than a phone)) To explain to the owners that they are engaged in arbitrariness and their internal rules contradict the constitution and the law on consumer protection
I was in a coffee shop on 25.08 I would really like to express my admiration
for Dashulik, I joked sweetly and made a delicious bumble on cherry with almonds
The guys are very cool , just like in the video 🥺
18.01 .2024 Finally good music was playing , so you can safely put 5 stars. We ordered a delicious raf with lavender and a latte with cinnamon, thank you very much to Andrey for the quickly prepared coffee and always in a good mood)
almost from the very beginning, I've been following tik tok and I was just delighted with the guys, they were so positive, funny, but I couldn't go myself, because we live a little far away. and today we decided to go specifically to this cooking and were very upset: the guys are so gloomy, so sad : (the coffee is delicious, croissants too, no questions.
To be honest, I came from Moscow to Minsk and one of the goals was to go to this place because of watching a large number of shorts on YouTube with the staff. I wanted to watch it live. The barista from Videv is on the spot! They're just as good. I liked everything. Cappuccino, of course, is great. The croissant with chocolate is perfect
Это лучшая кофейня этой сети. Лучшая! Отличный коллекив, вкусный кофе, всегда свежая выпечка. Очень уютная атмосфера. Каждый раз, конда проезжаю мимо, заезжаю. Даже, если не хочу кофе.
Ребята, успехов вами процветания!
Ах, да, где лучший «Беллини»? Правильно, здесь!
I have never visited this place, it is a very cozy place, friendly baristas, they always greet with a smile and prepare very delicious coffee
, they often shoot videos, which is very funny to watch
, I would like to note separately a chic call with hanging chairs near panoramic windows, especially beautiful on sunny days🤍
Do not come here if you were thinking of watching YouTube videos during breakfast or filling out your notebook on your laptop- you will immediately be told that this can only be done on the most uncomfortable tables. very strange rules
And so everything is beautiful and delicious, but the staff spoil this atmosphere. You feel like an uninvited guest
The attraction of the city is a coffee shop from YouTube. I came from Kazan to see everything in person. And the coffee is great, and the people are good))
Очень уютное место! Люблю сюда прийти посидеть наедине с собой. Вкусный кофе (как и по всей сети), потрясные свежие круассаны (особенно с маком) и божественное творожное кольцо❤️ персонал почти всегда котики)
Фоточки корги и зеленушка - отдельная любовь)
