Art Café
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.
rose tea & marmalade — 30 zł
Claude Monet
Monet painted light that lasts only a moment.
Rose tea is the same — transparent, alive, changing with every infusion.
herbal tea & cookie — 32 zł
Leonardo da Vinci
Da Vinci practiced moderation in his diet
and was interested in botany and the properties of herbs and plants.
Herbal infusions fit his philosophy of balance.
hot cocoa & choco cookie — 35 zł
Salvador Dalí
Dalí turned everyday life into theater. Even breakfast was a performance.
Rich cocoa plays with form, texture, and a touch of absurdity.
black tea & almond cookie — 30 zł
Pablo Picasso
Picasso drank strong black coffee every day,
without sugar or milk.
He worked through the night,
slept in fits; coffee was a tool for concentration and tension.
cocoa with chili & marmalade — 35 zł
Frida Kahlo
Frida lived with pain and transformed it into color.
A warm spiced drink and sweet feel like self-given comfort.
cocoa and charlotte — 45 zł
Frédéric Chopin
Chopin was physically very weak
and had trouble tolerating heavy foods.
Hot chocolate and sweet, soft drinks were a source of energy for him.
mint tea and cookie — 30 zł
Edmond Rudnicka
Roudnitska was a proponent of clarity, minimalism,
and discipline—both in life and in perfumery.
He opposed overly complicated formulas,
advocating for purity of concept and structure.
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.
