Occupying one corner of the grassy plane outside of Warsaw university and library, Kafka boasts an interior of bold red armchairs, dark sofas and bric-a-brac adorned walls and checkered flooring. It’s a serious spot for cafe enthusiasts and a worthy attraction for bookworms. The cafe prides itself on rescuing piles of discarded books that are then offered up for grabs by virtue of swap, purchase or short term loan while you sip your coffee. Those looking to escape into literature will find the relaxed ambience ideal, especially with its large windows that look upon the Powiśle.
