Józef K

Coming back to the topic of sweet'n'cosy cafes I started to explore in my yesterday's post I couldn't keep my hands off posting about the cafe which exactly falls under the definition of a perfect one for me. It simply could not be better! If you are in Sopot, Poland, one day, this place is a must-see, although it is not one of those hot spots visited by crowds of tourists (counting on you to guard this secret;))... In fact the cafe seems to be still mostly enjoyed and visited by locals, which helped it to preserve its charm.

Józef K is a literary cafe and quite an ambitious one I would say - where apart from getting a cup of lovely 'Kot Behemoth' chocolate (umm, with that lovely minty after taste!) - or acorn coffee, which you will never find anywhere else - you can pick a book from the cafe's little library and either enjoy works of authors like Bulgakov and Tolstoy or just browse through some colourful table books in a feast-for-your-eye interior. But that is not it! Józef K promotes a quarterly "Korespondencja z ojcem", samples of which can be found on this website and is closely connected to the so called Slavic Literature Cooperative, which supports young writers from Central&Eastern Europe and Balkans. Lovely interior, great reading and a creative idea behind it all! Enjoy:
