Osmoteka art cafe

Art Café

Osmoteka Warsaw

There is a room where the city slows down.
Art Café lives in the quieter part of Osmoteka — a single, intimate room with two small tables, soft light
and windows opening onto Warsaw’s Old Town. Candles, a projector, films drifting across the wall, and a tall old cabinet filled with books that seem to have been waiting for the right hands.
Our menu is a quiet tribute to great creators — painters, composers, perfumers — those who understood that creation begins with attention.
People come for a cup. They stay for the atmosphere.

cappuccino & a sponge cake — 40 zł

Vincent van Gogh

Van Gogh never drank cappuccino.
He drank simple coffee with milk — cheap, hot, comforting.
His food was just as simple: bread, plain biscuits, whatever was available.
